Watercolor Painting
“I like to superimpose the layers of paint, the washes, to give relief and depth.
I like to mix colors, create blurs, reflect, cloudy atmospheres...
the freedom of watercolor is endless! »
A trip to New York in 2013 enlightens Vanessa on her watercolor practice. The geometry, lights and colors of this megalopolis inspire her, even creating very large formats. Vanessa uses this technique of watercolor in a contemporary rendering, sometimes close to abstraction, always in transparency.
She paints the cities she visits and the landscapes that surround her.
Vanessa passes on her technique with passion during dedicated courses.

Watercolor Workshops
Organization of painting courses,
individual or collective, in the workshop.
During the day, we will work on color and water, on the superpositions, on the withdrawals, while making clarifications on the different papers and brushes, and all the little actions that allow me to build a paint.
The course is designed in a didactic way, exercises, demonstrations and step-by-step allow everyone to better understand the practice of watercolor painting.
The internship is open to everyone, the material is lent or provided (colors, paper).
