JC COUTANT

Having taken evening classes for a few years (live model, painting and modeling), I became interested in compositions where silhouettes, urban settings and volumes merge.

But now, I have a different approach, based on observation, which corresponds more to my desire to work outdoors. I like to take my sketchbook to go and do sketches (people sitting on a bench, in a waiting room, in the metro or the bus, at the beach).

Currently I mainly do landscapes, so when possible, I take my field easel to go and paint directly outside, to feel more the space and light surrounding the subject. For me it is a moment that I really appreciate, a feeling of freedom.

As I live in Marseille, my paintings often represent Mediterranean landscapes, but I willingly take other paths, to discover other landscapes, like those of Berry from my childhood where I am pleased to rediscover the bucolic sensations.

The artist has no events planned at the moment. I add an event
The artist has not yet entered his path.
