changes for 2012

Starting in 2012, I will change the name "summer workshops" for "theme-workshop" because I will give them all year round instead of only in Summer. I will give some 3 or 2 days workshops in march, may, june, august and september. I keep december for a week in Cuba.

"one heart, one night"

In art for sale
and in Demo

It represents the vulnerability of a woman's hearth, her feelings, her desires, as night comes... her toughts, desires as she goes to sleep.

"envol"
part of the watercolour we painted at the workshop rivers and sea on the 25-26-27 of July.

We practiced a rainy sky, the movement and colours of waves, sand and birds and their reflections, their little feet and feathers. It was fun.

A step-by-step demo on how to do a good clean-up of your brushes and palette before Summer.

my Smith palette

Here is my Masterson palette with my DANIEL SMITH pigments. It is set-up for a left handed but the following documents show you how to mount it right handed.

In SUMMER, with big variations of temperature, hot and humid temps could make your palette grow mildew. Go to the section Tricks and tips to reach the link to the demo on how to clean your brushes and pigments.

I found the way to include as many videos as I want in my website,
they will be hosted by YouTube but enbossed in my website, see them soon!
