I started started drawing late after my children left. I started by oil and during a meeting with a pastellist who gave me a few lessons, I immediately liked it. this medium. I started by human portraits rather of elderly people. Wanting to discover animal portraiture, I took a few video lessons. Whether with humans or friends, I tend towards realism and I especially emphasize the look, reflection of the soul and seat of emotions. p>

Raised by my grandmother, drawing elderly people was an obvious choice. Probably by observing the people he met. Pastel allows the details which I insist on in order to render a large amount of skin, a wrinkle, a reflection in the eye and for animals, started later, I like to work on softness of a coat or plumage. I don't put much emphasis on the background as I blend more gently.
