THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A PAINTING
Open air painting :
I usually work for many days on single canvas .When I am painting a landscape, I first draw a sketch etching in the shadows, painting masses in the negative colors. When the first colors dried, I put on colors, volumes and lights.
Landscapes
in France have to be discovered and felt deeply. Most of the time
my husband Bernard and I ride on bicycles, in the famous areas of Provence
: such as the "Pont du Gard", "Uzès", "Saint
Rémy de Provence" or in the "Luberon". At other
times, it is during a horse ride in the Val de Loire that I am able
to discover the wonderful Miller-Barn I had always dreamed to paint.
But
the most important thing is to sit down somewhere, feel in its own
body and soul the surroundings before painting atmosphere on the canvas.
