I Watercolor Superheroes With Big Splashes

340

ADVERTISEMENT

Sometimes, you need to kick yourself in the butt. That was true for me at least, being the panda that I am. That’s why, some two years ago, I challenged myself to paint a new picture every day, and share it with the world for free. Challenge accepted!

Today, I have published more than 500 paintings, my very own way of spreading happiness, with big splashes of color and happy shapes.

I work mostly with watercolor, I need it to be fast and I like the spontaneity of it. Sometimes paintings seem like they are moving on their own, alive, like clouds in the sky. Shapes can appear from a part you didn’t control, letting your imagination do the work, like a Rorschach test.

Beside finding the time, the challenge is to find the inspiration. Mine comes from the things that either moves me or excite me, or just blow me away. POP culture from the 80’s, movie characters, strong independent women (the real heroes), France where I’m from, or Bondi and Australia, where I live. I have a thing for Super Heroes too :)

    Awesome stuff! I'm always amazed by how much a talented artist can convey with fewer strokes than I'd take to create a horrible looking stick figure.

    judging from the pencil sketches, can see the art work was no easy feat although the end product looks very neat sleek and beautiful. vry well painted

    Hi! I came across your art on Pinterest and I absolutely love them! Pardon me for asking this next question as I understand that artists do what they do for the love of their craft, but have you thought about putting these on apparel? I did find some of these on Groupon, but they're only available for men and there are few options.

    Really love your approach and style! I've heard so many say how unforgiving and difficult watercolor is, but I've always found it so rewarding and interesting in what can be done with it.
