Why do you like watercolour ?
I love the unexpected effects and how colours are doing their own life on paper.
I love the run with the water, fast and spontaneous painting in watercolour.
Favourite colour ?
I love them all...but especially magenta, all turquoise blues , quinacridone gold and orange cadmium. Neve use any black or white painting.
Favourite painter ?
Vincent Van Gogh.
If you were a painting what style of painting would you be?
A very colourful and joyful painting.
What has been your biggest challenge in painting watercolours?
The biggest challenge - past, present and future one, is finding freedom in painting. Another one is expressing feelings with colours.
Where is your favourite place to you paint?
I love painting in my " bric à brac " studio. A kind of bubble studio. A place where I can listen to jazz music , smell a perfume candle and be with my cats when I paint. I also like plein air painting near the sea during summer .
Who has inspired you?
Few painters : Vincent van Gogh, Gustav Klimt, Claude Monet, Henri Toulouse Lautrec, Ewa Karpinska, Carol Carter, Fabio Cembranelli and Nicholas Simmons, and my first watercolour and beloved teacher, Anne Gilles.
