lieu 18

One of the tiny watercolors about "place". Many concepts I struggle about
- Presence, time passing by. spirit ( the thai phii pex).
- work; identification as a work "almost" identifiing a scene, but,by just a slight twist, not identifiable; there is something, we can recognise there is something, but not what is this something.

marseille les pointus final

voilier - altair 1 ere etape

after an initial sketch, I put the background. quite wet, not so wet indeed, but obviously, the Arches bloc 140 lb is just in a big buckling party.

marseille, les pointus, etape 1

When I'm painting, I always forget to take pictures. This is at middle stage.

voiliers - altair au largue

the photo is not actually rendering color and subtility. sorry for that. The electrical blue is a soft reddish ultrmarine one the yellow is a sienna, the red is a burnt sienna.


La photo a mangé toutes les subtilités, il ne reste qu'une caricature. Le rouge est un sienne brulé, le bleu est outremer, le jaune est un jaune de sienne W&N et les passages sont bien plus harmonieux.

santa cruz - la terrasse

la corniche qui surplombe la plage comporte de nombruex petits endroits avec des bancs et de grands panneaux de bois qui font parasol. La lumière de midi est crue, ecrasante.
