The painting process is quite reversed, actually. With watercolor, you have to take care keeping your whites and light masses clear, but with oil, I'm used to work from a middle tone, and then load light areas with heavy or opaque pigment (sometimes a rag is just enough to remove paint and reveal a lighter background, still).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TPerbpcq0RI/AAAAAAAABGw/OWHMMgQBbkk/s1600/d%25C3%25A9tail_cecile%2Bcopie.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 274px; height: 252px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TPerbpcq0RI/AAAAAAAABGw/OWHMMgQBbkk/s400/d%25C3%25A9tail_cecile%2Bcopie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546089957600973074" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Éventail (detail).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; aquarelle sur papier / watercolor on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - A4. 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:'trebuchet ms';" &gt;Ma première aquarelle depuis près d'un an.

La méthode de peinture est d'ailleurs assez opposée à celle de l'huile, puisqu'en aquarelle, il faut penser à conserver ses tons clairs en réserve, tandis qu'à l'huile, l'on peut toujours poser de plus épaisses couches de pigment clair par dessus un passage déjà sombre (même si l'on peut aussi parfois utiliser un simple morceau de tissu pour ôter la peinture et révéler un fond plus clair).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-1640417818991148954?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/1640417818991148954/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=1640417818991148954' title='3 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/1640417818991148954'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/1640417818991148954'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-watercolor.html' title='new watercolor'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TPerbSDG9wI/AAAAAAAABGo/pkZtF904_R4/s72-c/eventail-small.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-3608892567925216223</id><published>2010-11-25T22:56:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2010-11-25T23:04:01.073+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wacom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='concept'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='illustration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='digital'/><title type='text'>new blog</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TO7cNpIZ03I/AAAAAAAABGI/xADe99-E1RU/s1600/Image%2B2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 104px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TO7cNpIZ03I/AAAAAAAABGI/xADe99-E1RU/s400/Image%2B2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543610318277170034" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;div   style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px; width: auto; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; text-align: left;font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;A new blog featuring concept artworks for animated/live action projects.

La peinture récente est en soi moins descriptive du cadre réel, plus interprétée que la précédente.

The first one is the most recent, from last week, while I did the second one a year ago, in late august. One looks west, the other north-east, and the new one is more interpreted than the other, less "realistic" and true to the real landscape. It is more a light study of the sun effects on the grassy banks of the river.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-1580692132190215810?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/1580692132190215810/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=1580692132190215810' title='6 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/1580692132190215810'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/1580692132190215810'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2010/10/orleans.html' title='orléans'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TLd4WJ-I8cI/AAAAAAAAA-s/fNFcJ3khlls/s72-c/BORD_LOIRE.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-7943607064920629949</id><published>2010-10-03T15:32:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-03T15:51:24.536+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='study'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='huile'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='plein air'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peinture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='landscape'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='étude'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='paysage'/><title type='text'>Montigny-le-Gannelon</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TKiGSZDCokI/AAAAAAAAA94/5f-b3W_WMkA/s1600/layout19.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 325px; height: 210px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TKiGSZDCokI/AAAAAAAAA94/5f-b3W_WMkA/s400/layout19.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523812593489322562" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Montigny-le-Gannelon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; huile sur toile / oil on canvas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 1P. 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;div   style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px; width: auto; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; text-align: left;font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Voici une série de petites peintures de plein air faites cet été, à Montigny-le-Gannelon, sur le Loir.

This painting, and many, many more will be published on my soon to be updated website...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On this kind of painting, you have to be careful when studying the effects of reflected colors (sky, grass, fabric, etc.).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-3501055668068808495?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/3501055668068808495/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=3501055668068808495' title='5 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/3501055668068808495'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/3501055668068808495'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2010/09/plein-air.html' title='plein air'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TJUL2CuZArI/AAAAAAAAA9o/Z8N6UFme6OE/s72-c/layout3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-5694471305275966080</id><published>2010-08-21T16:28:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-08-21T16:34:25.768+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='art'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peintre'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='artistes'/><title type='text'>Whistler</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TG_jQ16KdEI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/m8bc9n_DJlA/s1600/BHa7HNTNSpv0tyhcZIrdzMbRo1_500.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Ce sont toutes les quatre des eaux-fortes de tout petit format imprimées sur du papier jaune italien Fabriano. L'on ne perçoit pas très bien la couleur de l'encre sur les scans, mais le noir, qui est un noir froid presque bleu, ressort sur le papier jaune comme le gris froid de certains vieux films muets. L'encre est une encre à estampes en tube, de chez Joop Stoop. Leur boutique, à Paris, est une vraie caverne d'Ali-Baba.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Je reviendrai plus en détail sur la technique de l'eau-forte, et j'essayerai de publier quelques photos du déroulé d'une gravure ainsi réalisée.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; Pour le travail de dessin en lui-même, j'ai utilisé des pointes sèches toutes simples pour le paysage ci-dessous, et un petit burin bon marché (de chez Joop Stoop également) que j'aime particulièrement. Les rochers ont été dessinés sur place, au milieu des vagues sur la côte de Dinard, le long de la Pointe de la Malouine. Il y a là-bas de petits escaliers taillés dans les rochers qui descendent jusqu'à l'eau.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le paysage imaginaire est dessiné d'après l'un des très nombreux minuscules croquis de composition mi-abstaites/mi-figuratives que je fais dans mes carnets. J'ai mis deux versions, l'une nette, et l'autre traitée plus en flou, ce que je préfère. Le format est lui aussi particulièrement petit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TF-vBCFBWKI/AAAAAAAAA8w/ru8gBkL-5S8/s1600/paysage_etch_sm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 356px; height: 208px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TF-vBCFBWKI/AAAAAAAAA8w/ru8gBkL-5S8/s400/paysage_etch_sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503309701942696098" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TF-vBcJlYQI/AAAAAAAAA84/lcRivHD1hBo/s1600/land_etch_sm.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Paysage Imaginaire / Imaginary Landscape&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;eau-forte sur papier / &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;etching on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 12x6 cm. 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:'trebuchet ms';" &gt;I'm back from a couple of weeks spent at the beach and on the countryside. I did there several prints, and here are two examples of what I did during the past days. These two etchings are printed on a Naples yellow paper, from Italian manufacturer Fabriano. You c'ant see it on these digital copies, but over the light yellow ground, the cool black ink, a Joop Stoop color in tube called Jet Black, makes the prints look like vintage silent movie stills. Joop Stoop is a great brand and their shop in Paris is an incredible collection of papers, inks, tools...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll talk a bit more about the etching technique in a future post, I'll even try to make some snapshots of the main steps involved in making a print with plates and acid. The imaginary landscape drawing was done using very simple drypoints, which I sharpen a lot on an Arkansas stone with much oil on it. For the rocks pictures, I used a very cheap burin from Joop Stoop, as sharp as I can get. I did this one among rocks at Dinard, Brittany, with waves bursting all around. When working with metal plates and nails, the good thing is that no water stains can spoil your work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did the imaginary landscape from one of the numerous doodles I do in my sketching pads. Half abstarct, half figurative, their goal is mostly to get compositions that I could decline later in larger paintings. Here are two versions of this very small etching, one clear and sharp, the other (my personal favorite), a much softer one, with a hazy feeling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TF-3qMKWVuI/AAAAAAAAA9I/nHs80DbfOGU/s1600/rocks2_etch_sm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 302px; height: 244px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TF-3qMKWVuI/AAAAAAAAA9I/nHs80DbfOGU/s400/rocks2_etch_sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503319205117056738" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Dinard au clair de lune&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; / &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Dinard by Moonlight&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;eau-forte sur papier / &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;etching on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 10x7,5 cm. 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;div   style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px; width: auto; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; text-align: left;font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:'trebuchet ms';" &gt;I then place the main colors, large masses and smaller spots, even if they're not definitive in any way. It allows me to get the mood and main color harmonies. I keep the drawing loose and quite abstract at this point, since I just want to get the color right, and I find it easier to judge of colors without any consideration of likeness or good drawing. Next, I finish the whole piece, adding details, color gradations, light effets, textures...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TBH9YXdn5rI/AAAAAAAAA74/jnkberTxwdw/s1600/decor_sorcieres.jpg"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TF-vBcJlYQI/AAAAAAAAA84/lcRivHD1hBo/s1600/land_etch_sm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Pour chacune des images, je préfère partir d'un dessin rapide effectué directement dans photoshop, avant de placer une atmosphère générale de couleurs, de contrastes temporaire. La première phase consiste à établir assez vite les grandes directions de la composition, à l'aide de quelques lignes et quelques masses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TAtOsJmUo6I/AAAAAAAAA7Y/UcGmLPdknGQ/s1600/metropolis_small.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TAtOsJmUo6I/AAAAAAAAA7Y/UcGmLPdknGQ/s400/metropolis_small.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479559892024206242" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Metropolis.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;- digital&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;div   style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px; width: auto; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; text-align: left;font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Ensuite, je place les couleurs principales, tout en gardant le dessin approximatif, histoire de voir si les couleurs fonctionnent bien entre elles, indépendamment de la ressemblance des masses à quelques sujet que ce soit. Une fois les teintes établies, et un ton général enveloppant l'atmosphère de l'image, je me lance dans le dessin plus poussé, jusqu'à la finition, qui peut passer par quelques effets de textures incrustées ça et là.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TAtOsqZqd6I/AAAAAAAAA7o/rBrQDBIMt4U/s1600/arctic_sm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TAtOsqZqd6I/AAAAAAAAA7o/rBrQDBIMt4U/s400/arctic_sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479559900829480866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;H.G.

When doing such pictures, I prefer starting from a rough sketch, with few lines indicating the main directions of the composition. Larger masses are then drawn over the lines, so that I can get a look at what the proportions will look like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TAtOsVfetqI/AAAAAAAAA7g/HMm6A3pqC30/s1600/kafir_small.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TAtOsVfetqI/AAAAAAAAA7g/HMm6A3pqC30/s400/kafir_small.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479559895216731810" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Kafir RIver.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;- digital&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:'trebuchet ms';" &gt;I then place the main colors, large masses and smaller spots, even if they're not definitive in any way. It allows me to get the mood and main color harmonies. I keep the drawing loose and quite abstract at this point, since I just want to get the color right, and I find it easier to judge of colors without any consideration of likeness or good drawing. Next, I finish the whole piece, adding details, color gradations, light effets, textures...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/TBH9YXdn5rI/AAAAAAAAA74/jnkberTxwdw/s1600/decor_sorcieres.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Il a fallu entreprendre quelques fouilles spéléologiques pour mettre la main sur le scanner ainsi que sur quelques dessins cachés dans les cartons. Ces deux images sont des démonstrations de monotypes que j'ai faites dans le cadre de mon cours à Paris et d'un stage, ici à Orléans. Quand on explique une technique, une méthode particulière, il faut travailler vite, afin de ne pas s'éterniser sur la démonstration à proprement parler et laisser les autres se mettre au travail à leur tour.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S8iozw368VI/AAAAAAAAA5A/dleqgBtLfCw/s1600/primola2.jpg"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S__qqgDjOgI/AAAAAAAAA6Q/72mVnwydVoM/s1600/monotype2a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 282px; height: 245px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S__qqgDjOgI/AAAAAAAAA6Q/72mVnwydVoM/s400/monotype2a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476353687786043906" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Landscape II&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;monotype sur papier / &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;monotype on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 7x5 cm. 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:'trebuchet ms';" &gt;We moved out again, and we are now in a new apartment in Orléans, much better indeed, with a huge studio upstairs to paint and draw. Now that I got my scanner and drawing files back, I can share some pictures with you. These two monotypes were done as demonstrations in front of my class in paris, and for an intern that came at home last week. When you work in front of some people to explain them a technique or some method, you have to work fast, so that you don't spend the whole time draing instead of letting them do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-2295481857989312582?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/2295481857989312582/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=2295481857989312582' title='4 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/2295481857989312582'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/2295481857989312582'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2010/05/monotypes.html' title='monotypes'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S__qqXemLrI/AAAAAAAAA6I/_7d5D_QqNuE/s72-c/MONOTYPE_2_SMALL.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-3248972624228706087</id><published>2010-04-16T20:11:00.007+02:00</published><updated>2010-04-16T21:01:47.139+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wacom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='concept'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peinture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='illustration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='digital'/><title type='text'>moustache &amp; the chocolate factory</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S8iozoeKIfI/AAAAAAAAA44/yBfL32yQlpA/s1600/primola1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S8iozoeKIfI/AAAAAAAAA44/yBfL32yQlpA/s400/primola1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460800153177432562" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;SPOT TV Primola.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;- digital&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;div   style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px; width: auto; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; text-align: left;font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voici des peintures numériques pour les décors d'un spot TV mettant en scène les étapes fantastiques d'un non moins fantastique chocolat roumain. Le concept et la réalisation du spot sont l'œuvre des deux Frères Moustache, Olivier Patté &amp;amp; Hugo Ramirez, dont vous pouvez visiter le &lt;a href="http://www.lesfreresmoustache.com/"&gt;site&lt;/a&gt;. Les effets numériques d'intégration et d'animation 3D ont été réalisés chez Digital District. Je me suis quant à moi chargé des designs de costumes, de machines et de décors, suivant un storyboard et des directions établies par Moustache. Le style devait être celui d'une peinture, d'un dessin, et non un rendu photo-réaliste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S8io0nBU8-I/AAAAAAAAA5Q/eDgQQW36ciI/s1600/primola3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S8io0nBU8-I/AAAAAAAAA5Q/eDgQQW36ciI/s400/primola3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460800169967940578" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;SPOT TV Primola.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;- digital&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;div   style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px; width: auto; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; text-align: left;font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;L'idée était de visiter une chocolaterie irréelle, proche de l'esthétique Jules Verne. Moustache m'encouragea à m'éloigner des premiers designs assez industriels et réalistes que j'avais imaginés pour essayer des pistes plus farfelues (telles que ces dirigeables actionnant des masses de fontes). Puisque j'avais aussi proposé des costumes d'ouvriers volants, certains designs non-retenus, comme des machines équipées de jambes, tiraient presque vers des designs extra-terrestres, ou de science-fiction rétro ; cela même s'ils dérivent tous plus ou moins de petits croquis d'instruments réels réalisés il y a quelques années dans les galeries du &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers&lt;/span&gt;, à Paris.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le côté amusant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; (et assez épuisant)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; de tout cela est que Cécile donna naissance à notre fils au cours de ces deux semaines de travail particulièrement intenses. Je présenterai dans un prochain post les dessins de costumes, puis ceux des designs de machines. La vidéo est disponible dans le précédent post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S8iozw368VI/AAAAAAAAA5A/dleqgBtLfCw/s1600/primola2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S8iozw368VI/AAAAAAAAA5A/dleqgBtLfCw/s400/primola2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460800155432972626" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;SPOT TV Primola.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;- digital&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:'trebuchet ms';" &gt;These are several background plates I did for a TV commercial. The agency, led by friends of mine - &lt;a href="http://www.lesfreresmoustache.com/"&gt;Les Frères Moustache&lt;/a&gt; (Hugo Ramirez &amp;amp; Olivier Patté), had imagined a great factory (the chocolate factory here is Romanian), halfway between a Buck Rogers serial and Jules Verne steampunk inventions. The plates had to look like paintings or drawings, not photorealistic renderings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My job here was to imagine the outfits, sets and props, and Moustache helped me create a fantastic factory stranger and richer than what I had imagined in the first place. My reaction, I guess, was "so, I can &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;really&lt;/span&gt; imagine all these things, and the stranger the better?". So I went up with these zeppelin-carried hammers, flying costumes, giant mobile spoons, bicycle-activated presses, etc. Some of my designs, such as huge walking chocolate boilers, were a bit too extra-terrestrial looking for the chocolate company (and too expensive), but I must say that, more or less, every single visual concept is based upon sketches I had done at the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers&lt;/span&gt;, a wonderful place in Paris, where you can see all different kinds of machines, experimental stuff, even the first plane, by Clément Ader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fun (and exhausting part) was that Cécile gave birth to our son during these two weeks when I had to work the most. Next post will include costumes ands props designs. You can see the spot in the previous post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S8io0BrKwyI/AAAAAAAAA5I/-CT_5ZsVycw/s1600/primola8.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Le crâne est traité de façon directe, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;alla prima&lt;/span&gt;, tandis que les fleurs sont un exercice de peinture plus transparente, en glacis successifs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les fleurs fanaient chaque semaine, jusqu'à ne plus être qu'un petit tas misérable, mais cela importait peu, dans la mesure où j'avais choisi de les traiter de façon géométrique à la limite de l'abstraction. Les fleurs sont en général un bon prétexte pour travailler des nuances de couleur et la composition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je regrette que l'on ne voie pas sur cette vue numérique du crâne que l'arrière-plan est plus chaud à gauche qu'à droite, ceci afin de refroidir la masse d'ombre sur le modèle. De même, le fond plus froid à droite réchauffe la masse claire du crâne. Mais cet effet se ressent mieux sur la peinture réelle que sur le jpeg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S6ZSejpeHKI/AAAAAAAAA2c/AxgbNfDc1x4/s1600-h/fleurs_small.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S6ZSejpeHKI/AAAAAAAAA2c/AxgbNfDc1x4/s320/fleurs_small.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451135083897298082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Fleurs - Flowers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; huile sur toile / oil on canvas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 18 x 24 cm. 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:'trebuchet ms';" &gt;Two oil painting demos I did in the course of a class I teach here, in Orléans, every Saturday. These rather small pictures were done to show two different techniques : the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;alla prima&lt;/span&gt;, direct painting method, used for the skull sketch, and the glazing technique, with which I did the flowers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used the same flowers as models for two lessons, and they ended looking like a pile of garbage, but I didn't care that much, since I had chosen to paint them in a quite abstract and geometrical way. They were just a good occasion to practice color glazes and composition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It doesn't show here on the digital pic, but the background behind the skull is cooler on the right, and warmer on the left, so that the shadow mass of the skull would appear cooler, and the light mass, warmer. I feel this effect looks better on the original painting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-8875337581545088135?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/8875337581545088135/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=8875337581545088135' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/8875337581545088135'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/8875337581545088135'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2010/03/demonstrations-demos.html' title='démonstrations - demos'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S6ZSdqZFRbI/AAAAAAAAA2U/Ush5nuCV6UQ/s72-c/crane2_small.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-6284014003164149043</id><published>2010-03-12T12:04:00.014+01:00</published><updated>2010-03-12T13:12:14.211+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wacom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='livre'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='couverture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='illustration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='book cover'/><title type='text'>échec - failure</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S5oj-JUpc5I/AAAAAAAAA2E/rMPpK5jPsYk/s1600-h/couv_0611aFc-e-altA2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 227px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S5oj-JUpc5I/AAAAAAAAA2E/rMPpK5jPsYk/s320/couv_0611aFc-e-altA2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447706249819419538" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Inch'Allah&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;photoshop&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; . 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Voici un dessin de couverture pour un roman jeunesse publié en France. Je présente cette image dans son état "définitif", ainsi que quelques étapes de sa réalisation, car j'estime la couverture imprimée très différente du travail que j'ai effectué. Le cadrage, les proportions, les passages autour du visage des personnages, leur forme-même, tout a plus ou moins changé, et j'estime quant à moi que ce n'est pas pour le mieux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je reconnais ne pas être le plus qualifié pour juger de l'attrait commercial d'une image et il paraît que la couverture posait des problèmes (en tout cas, c'est ce que je suppose en constatant les changements). Le style qu'on me demandait était peut-être un peu trop différent de ma façon habituelle de travailler. En même temps, il est amusant que le cadrage final de la couverture soit beaucoup plus proche de mon croquis initial (non présenté ici) que du cadrage élargi qu'ils avaient souhaité - j'avais proposé un cadrage assez serré sur les deux personnages. J'avais apporté les modifications souhaitées à chaque étape, notamment une précision plus poussée à la place des zones de flou autour des personnages et du décor d'arrière-plan, des éléments historiques, des couleurs modifiées ça et là, une luminosité plus grande, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le plus ennuyeux dans cette histoire est que l'éditeur n'a retravaillé l'image qu'à partir d'un jpeg envoyé par e-mail, et dont les dimensions ne pouvaient supporter un tel agrandissement (l'image jpeg était à l'échelle 1), si bien que tout a pris un vilain aspect basse-def. Bref, c'est une image dont je suis particulièrement déçu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S5oiP6Thn7I/AAAAAAAAA1k/4DbWPfKsWX0/s1600-h/couv_0611Acopie.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 162px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S5oiP6Thn7I/AAAAAAAAA1k/4DbWPfKsWX0/s320/couv_0611Acopie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447704356002570162" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Inch'Allah&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;pencil on paper &amp;amp; photoshop&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; . 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;This is a cover I did for a French young adults book. Let me show here the picture I did and the printed result. You can see also some w-i-p steps, such as sketches and color tests. I think the composition, brushwork, edges and drawing are completely lost on the final picture, which was essentially re-done by the publishing crew. They did put my name next to it, but I doubt I ever painted such a picture. I might be totally wrong here, but I believe my work was a bit better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know I'm not qualified to judge of the commercial appeal of a cover, and I'm sure the publisher and art director had their reasons, but I find the result especially unappealing. First, they asked me to paint in a way that is not really mine, with much more details than I thought in the first place. What makes me feel bitter is that I did every modification they asked for : I reworked the lights and shadows, the edges (they were really unhappy with the blur edges around the figures), the background, the detail level, I added many historical elements, etc. And, in the end, the result shows nothing but a clumsy design and sharply cut-out figures, standing like cardboard pieces in front of a very un-epic scene. The way they cut the figures out even changed the design of their faces. They look so bad!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I guess the worst part of this mess is that they re-worked the picture with the rather small jpeg file I had sent them by e-mail, and which was cropped to the very dimensions of the book, so that nothing could be enlarged without looking ugly. Try to enlarge a google thumbnail to book dimensions and you'll get the idea. And yet, it's my name people will read next to the picture. All this for a not-so great paycheck (that's the very least I can say).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S5oiQGnV56I/AAAAAAAAA1s/hDnXWJC87Ac/s1600-h/SIDIEU.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Il faisait beau ce jour-là, l'eau coulait (la fontaine s'arrête dès qu'il fait froid), et le soleil de la fin de journée illuminait le voile de l'eau projetée tout autour des chevaux marins. L'eau se prêtait particulièrement à certains jeux d'empâtements. J'avais déjà posté une &lt;a href="http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/03/jean-baptiste-carpeaux.html"&gt;image&lt;/a&gt; de la fontaine, il y a près de deux ans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:'trebuchet ms';" &gt;After a few days in Paris, with the snow and a very cold weather, here is a painting I did last year, in a garden near the Luxembourg. The fountain was lit with the late afternoon sun, which veiled the water with delicate warm and cool colors. The flowing water was a good excuse to put much impasto on the canvas. This is the same &lt;a href="http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/03/jean-baptiste-carpeaux.html"&gt;fountain&lt;/a&gt; I had sketched two yeards ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-11494978507749205?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/11494978507749205/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=11494978507749205' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/11494978507749205'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/11494978507749205'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2010/02/fontaine-de-carpeaux-paris.html' title='Fontaine de Carpeaux, Paris'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S3AGADxeVrI/AAAAAAAAA0o/0rAK3s-2VvY/s72-c/fontaine_sm.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-5104130335092701526</id><published>2010-01-26T14:04:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-26T14:27:01.141+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='plume'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='walnut stain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pen and ink'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sketch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='landscape'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dessin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='enseignement'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='brou de noix'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='art instruction'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='croquis'/><title type='text'>paysage - landscape</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;div style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px; width: auto; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S17okzUjcKI/AAAAAAAAA0A/uAYdgQuaHFQ/s1600-h/paysage_blog.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 227px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S17okzUjcKI/AAAAAAAAA0A/uAYdgQuaHFQ/s320/paysage_blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431033919604748450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Un paysage / Landscape. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;encre sur papier / ink on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - A5. 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Ce paysage imaginaire est au départ une simple illustration de certains principes de composition que j'avais expliqués dans le cadre d'un cours en école de design. Puisque cette image me plaisait, la version de droite en particulier, j'ai décidé d'en faire un agrandissement au propre. C'était également une manière de continuer mon entraînement à la plume. Le dessin a donc été exécuté à la plume (type sergent major), par dessus un lavis léger. Si les deux esquisses de composition ont été réalisées au brou de noix, l'image définitive a été traitée à l'encre Sennelier. J'ai fait en sorte, autant que possible, que la direction des traits serve la composition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S17p7d7amxI/AAAAAAAAA0I/eU9Z3jV1W1o/s1600-h/compo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 126px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/S17p7d7amxI/AAAAAAAAA0I/eU9Z3jV1W1o/s320/compo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431035408510786322" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Croquis / Sketches. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;bru de noix sur papier / walnut stain on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 5 x 8 cm. 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:'trebuchet ms';" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;This imaginary landscape was just supposed to be a sketch I could use suring a class at the design school where I teach. I had done two distincts versions of the same composition, which relied on different composition principles, but I I liked the doodle on the right so much that I decided to turn it into a larger, more finished piece, so that I could train a little bit more my pen and ink technique. I just used a pen over a light wash, with Sennelier ink (for the two sketches, I used walnut stain).

Je regrette un peu les contrastes trop francs de la couverture définitive, ainsi que le cadrage différent. Je mets ici les deux images, celle soumise à l'éditeur et celle imprimée.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dessinant habituellement des images très peu contrastées, aux tons pris dans une brume épaisse, je me suis fait aux exigences éditoriales conduisant mes images à être systématiquement retravaillées par d'autres que moi. La seule chose, c'est qu'essayer à tout prix d'éclairer et de vivifier une image aux tons doux et sourds conduit souvent à des bizarreries visuelles, où toute cohérence de contraste et de couleur tombe un peu à l'eau.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SsoIhXjkdVI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/3RaHoukcI8w/s1600-h/Grimpowlechemininvisible.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 147px; height: 218px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SsoIhXjkdVI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/3RaHoukcI8w/s320/Grimpowlechemininvisible.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389129273454130514" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Grimpow : Le Chemin Invisible. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;actual book cover&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;A cover illustration I did for the French translation of a young adults Spanish novel (published by Albin Michel - Wiz). I'm not a fan of the vivid color and tone contrasts used by the art department on the final picture ; and I don't like the framing either. Here are the two versions, the one I submitted to the publisher and the one printed on the actual book (the title is actually printed with silver ink).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I always do dark and little contrasted pictures, I've been used now to get my work modified by art departments. I just wish one would print one of my illustrations without pushing all colors and tones to the limit, because doing so always give them a weird look, quite awkward actually, with things visually jumping out of the pictures. The coherent look of the picture, its own system of light and shade and colors is kind of destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-7315727735758117093?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/7315727735758117093/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=7315727735758117093' title='5 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/7315727735758117093'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/7315727735758117093'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2009/10/une-couverture-book-cover.html' title='une couverture - a book cover'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SsoH_Es9gbI/AAAAAAAAAoI/iTIx1AFs7zQ/s72-c/grimpow2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-4187643137624916480</id><published>2009-08-02T10:37:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2009-08-02T11:09:28.488+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wacom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='landscape'/><title type='text'>paysages numériques - digital landscapes</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;div style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px; width: auto; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SnVSXuWSr6I/AAAAAAAAAnA/-JBEGZq6Ap8/s1600-h/lava-monster.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 146px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SnVSXuWSr6I/AAAAAAAAAnA/-JBEGZq6Ap8/s320/lava-monster.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365285098613813154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Lava Monster&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. digital &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;- 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Voici trois décors numériques peints à l'aide de Photoshop et de Painter X. En réalisant de telles images, j'essaye de privilégier les atmosphères et la lumière. Qu'il soient numériques ou traditionnels, mes dessins sont toujours plus tonalistes que coloristes. Selon une description assez simple du tonalisme tel qu'on l'entendait à la fin du XIXème sicècle, les couleurs devaient toutes êtres liées les unes aux autres par une teinte dominante, et les valeurs, être les plus proches les unes des autres, comme si l'on observait la scène au travers d'un voile de gaze. Ainsi, contrairement à une image purement monochrome, une image tonaliste rouge pouvait contenir des verts, mais ces verts étaient eux-mêmes "rougis" afin de les intégrer au reste de la peinture. Lorsque l'"enveloppe" était assez unie, l'on pouvait alors ajouter quelques touches plus accentuées, quelques rehauts pour rompre la monotonie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SnVSXVX8SBI/AAAAAAAAAm4/faxw-IhYVRY/s1600-h/crash.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 148px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SnVSXVX8SBI/AAAAAAAAAm4/faxw-IhYVRY/s320/crash.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365285091909847058" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Crash&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. digital &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;- 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;These are three pictures I did using Photoshop and Painter X. No matter how I do it, in a digital or traditional way, my work seems always bending more towards tonalism than colorism. Tonalism, as late XIXth century artists meant it, was a manner that tried to create harmony through the use of unifying hues and little contrast in value. Instead of using the whole range of the tonal scale and the whole color spectrum, they chose to restrict the number of values and hues&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt; they needed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;. Sometimes, one strong color or value accent could be used to creat more interest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SnVSX63rxpI/AAAAAAAAAnI/GYj9cIbFvNY/s1600-h/kafir.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Sans avoir vu aucune image de ce projet, j'avais entendu dire à la radio que les deux zozos projetaient de créer un écho à la coupole des Invalides et au sommet de l'obélisque de la Concorde, pyramidion doré ajoutée à l'édifice il y a un peu plus de dix ans. Pourquoi pas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;Mais la réalité est d'une tout autre nature. Le projet-farce des Abbott et Costello de l'architecture contemporaine tient plus d'un dégazage sauvage rejeté par un tripode de la Guerre des Mondes ou d'un agrégat de cheveux, de poils pubiens sales collés au savon dans le fond d'une bonde de douche mal entretenue. Mais puisque ces poils sont dorés, ce sont sûrement ceux de Zeus ou d'un quelconque dieu moderne, de la laideur ou du non-sens. Il est rassurant de savoir que des gens continuent d'œuvrer pour que se perpétue l'histoire des catastrophes architecturales de la place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div face="Georgia,serif" size="3" style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px; width: auto; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16;"  &gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SiD-rb3mr6I/AAAAAAAAAlI/2mnXs6L_YdE/s1600-h/montparnasse.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 158px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SiD-rb3mr6I/AAAAAAAAAlI/2mnXs6L_YdE/s320/montparnasse.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341549180230217634" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Times;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Gare Montparnasse &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. 1895&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;Among other urban projects designed by architecture agencies to develop Paris into a giant metropolis, the famous Frank Gehry and Jean Nouvel got a brilliant idea. Since the Montparnasse Tower is universally known as being a major ugly building, why not making it even more disgusting, by covering its rooftop with one huge golden pubic hairs cap? They pretend it would remind of the golden rooftops of the Invalides and the pyramid at the top of the Concorde obelisk. Somehow, it seems a giant vacuum cleaner/tripod from The War of the Worlds outgassed a load of trash over the tower. Since these hairs are golden, I guess they might be Zeus' (unless they belong to another - lesser known - entity, the modern god of Ugliness &amp;amp; Nonsense.

Il y a quelques études de portraits à l'huile que j'aimerais publier ici, mais elles ne sont pas tout à fait sèches encore. Comme il reste aussi des dessins des États-Unis, voici des croquis effectués dans différents musées, à savoir le Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Museum à Auburn, Indiana ; quelques statuettes du Field Museum (Chicago), du LACMA et du Gene Autry Museum (tous deux à Los Angeles) ; enfin, des animaux du zoo de Los Angeles. C'était le premier jour de sortie pour les surricates, et ils étaient particulièrement curieux de ce qu'il se passait autour d'eux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/ScdS9rEGj1I/AAAAAAAAAjA/29VAGjhmEP0/s1600-h/american-art.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/ScdS9rEGj1I/AAAAAAAAAjA/29VAGjhmEP0/s320/american-art.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316309104619589458" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Artefacts / Artifacts&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;encre&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; sur papier / pen and ink on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - A5. 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;I've not updated the blog for the past days, since I was quite busy working on other stuff. I'd like to publish some quick portrait studies done in oil, but they're not dry yet. These sketches were done on location in some U.S. museums. The first one is an old car from the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Museum in Auburn, Indiana ; the second page is a collection of Mexican &amp;amp; South-American statuettes from the Field Museum in Chicago and the LACMA &amp;amp; Gene Autry Museum, both in Los Angeles. The last is a series of sketches I did at the L.A. zoo ; it happened to be the first day out for the meerkat family and they were quite excited by their new "playground".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/ScdS-EZ79uI/AAAAAAAAAjI/C8rnibnrg3w/s1600-h/zoo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

L'endroit était charmant et il était difficile de faire plus proche du centre et du Lac Michigan. L'endroit s'appelle &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Flemish House of Chicago&lt;/span&gt;. J'aurais aimé dessiner en extérieur, mais il faisait trop froid. Après Chicago et un arrêt dans l'Indiana, à Auburn, nous avons ensuite filé à Los Angeles, où il faisait chaud et ensoleillé.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SbayUYPALeI/AAAAAAAAAiw/BNQiOM9NJ5o/s1600-h/chicago1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 285px; height: 207px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SbayUYPALeI/AAAAAAAAAiw/BNQiOM9NJ5o/s320/chicago1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311628873702583778" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;La chambre / The Bedroom&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. aquarelle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; / watercolor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 21 x 14,8 cm. 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;Cécile and I are back from a two-weeks break in the U.S. and here are watercolors of the B &amp;amp; B we stayed at in Chicago. The place, called &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Flemish House of Chicago&lt;/span&gt;, was charming and quiet, just past the lake Michigan and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Magnificent Mile&lt;/span&gt;. I wish I could have done some outdoor sketches, but it was way too cold. A few days later, we left Chicago for Auburn, Indiana, where we had a great time, and then got straight to Los Angeles, where the sun was bright and the climate much, much warmer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SbazItznKyI/AAAAAAAAAi4/Jn5DJFWkJmA/s1600-h/venice.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 271px; height: 196px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SbazItznKyI/AAAAAAAAAi4/Jn5DJFWkJmA/s320/venice.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311629772846476066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/STw8DYPRN6I/AAAAAAAAAWo/BjvmR6o0o88/s1600-h/lechene-a.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Venice, Los Angeles&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. aquarelle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; / watercolor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 21 x 14,8 cm. 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-5920457726854935300?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/5920457726854935300/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=5920457726854935300' title='7 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/5920457726854935300'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/5920457726854935300'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2009/03/usa.html' title='U.S.A.'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SbayUIO9D9I/AAAAAAAAAio/fFIGyJZJnbM/s72-c/chicago2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-9060545562854539266</id><published>2009-02-13T17:40:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-02-13T17:58:55.058+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drawing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dessin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crayon'/><title type='text'>pause - a break</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SZWj50WNO_I/AAAAAAAAAiQ/BiBSq2sZjP4/s1600-h/dushehra-asleep.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 192px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SZWj50WNO_I/AAAAAAAAAiQ/BiBSq2sZjP4/s320/dushehra-asleep.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302324349998283762" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Dushehra endormie / Dushehra Asleep. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;crayon sur papier / graphite on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 20 x 10. 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Dushehra endormie. Cécile et moi l'avions recueillie quand elle était petite et il semblerait qu'elle a connu une enfance digne d'un Dickens. Elle dort les yeux ouverts, ne les fermant pour ainsi dire jamais, prête à bondir au cas où le moindre bruit devait se faire entendre. De son pelage noir comme du pétrole ne ressortent que les reflets sur ses yeux, et le ruban rouge autour de son cou.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je ne pourrai sans doute pas mettre le blog à jour pendant un certain temps.

Cécile and I found and gave her shelter when she was still fairly young, but we don't know what happened to her before. We just assume she had quite a harsh life, because when she sleeps, she doesn't close her eyes, always suspicious about every noise she hears. On her black oil fur, it's hard to see anything but the reflections on her eyes, and the red ribbon around her neck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I won't be able to update the blog for a couple of weeks.

Il s'agit d'un portrait de Cécile, l'un des tous premiers dessins que j'ai traité à la pointe d'argent. J'ai toujours trouvé ce dessin triste, si bien que je ne l'aime pas beaucoup, mais finalement, il correspond assez bien au sujet de la semaine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le deuxième dessin est également une des premières tentatives de dessin avec un nouveau médium, en l'occurrence mon premier essai de monotype. C'est toujours un portrait de Cécile, et c'est toujours assez pâle. Je le préfère à l'autre dessin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SXilO7e0WlI/AAAAAAAAAhc/MUWo2UADnGk/s1600-h/1st-monotype.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 170px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SXilO7e0WlI/AAAAAAAAAhc/MUWo2UADnGk/s320/1st-monotype.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294163037877721682" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Cécile.  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;monotype sur papier / monotype on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 10 x 20 cm. 2007&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;This is a drawing I submit to tomorrow's &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Illustration Friday&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;. The theme was pale. If I remember correctly, this is one of the first drawings I ever did with a silver point. The model is my wife, Cécile. I've always found this drawing too sad to be a good portrait of her, but I guess its particular mood fits the theme of the week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second drawing is also a first attempt at a new tool, in this case monotype. It still is Cécile's portrait, and pale too. I prefer this one to the other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-8729843756460307753?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/8729843756460307753/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=8729843756460307753' title='9 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/8729843756460307753'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/8729843756460307753'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2009/01/illustration-friday.html' title='illustration friday'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SXii54BdEOI/AAAAAAAAAhU/YTNR8Z0cecs/s72-c/cecile-friday.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-2607688661944108208</id><published>2009-01-18T18:28:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2009-01-19T01:12:34.557+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='etching'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gravure'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='portrait'/><title type='text'>gravure - intaglio</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SXNnBaJJ06I/AAAAAAAAAg0/P4qWFCKRil8/s1600-h/gravure-tete.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SXNnBaJJ06I/AAAAAAAAAg0/P4qWFCKRil8/s320/gravure-tete.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292687260985709474" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Figure&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;gravure / intaglio&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 12 x 20. 2007&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Ceci est l'une des rares gravures dont je ne sois mécontent. Je l'aime en fait beaucoup, et je me sens d'autant moins gêné de le dire que j'ai ensuite anéanti tout le travail effectué en bricolant bêtement la plaque d'origine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le procédé de gravure est intéressant, et les plus grands artistes l'ont employé avec un tel génie que bien souvent, l'on ne peut dire que leur peinture est supérieure à leur œuvre gravée. Pour ne citer qu'eux, Rembrandt, Zorn, Whistler étaient-il meilleurs graveurs ou peintres? L'on ne peut d'autant le dire que les recherches qu'ils entreprenaient avec un médium et avec l'autre étaient fort dissemblables. Et pourtant, même si je sais que l'on peut faire de belles choses à la gravure, et si je suis admiratif de celles que ces trois artistes ont créées, je suis tout simplement incapable d'arriver au moindre résultat satisfaisant avec un clou de gravure. Le procédé m'est trop indirect, et je n'arrive pas non plus à me faire aux reflets en mouvement permanent qui se promènent à la surface d'une plaque polie. C'est ainsi que je préfère le monotype.&lt;br /&gt;Cette eau-forte est un mélange d'aquatinte, de clou, de feuilles de papier bouchonnées puis trempées dans le vernis et de gravure directe au pinceau dans de l'acide. Il fallut cinq ou six états pour la réaliser, et un septième pour tout détruire.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;This is one of my very few etching I won't complain about. To tell the truth, I'm rather proud of it now, and I don't feel ashamed to be so, because I eventually ruined the original plate with a mixture of acid, dry point and too much aquatint. I'm used to this kind of things and I sure need someone to urge me to stop when working, because too much effort often leads to miserable failure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think intaglio is a very fine technique, and I know great masters did great pictures out of it. Nevertheless, I feel it's not a technique for me, for it's too complicated, not direct enough to get me interested in what I do. I like finding a way through lines and masses, a way I don't find anymore when using an etching point instead of a brush or pencil. And what about those nasty reflections that always move on your plate when you're working? They never make your lines look the same, both in depth and thickness. That's why I prefer monotype. It's more of a fresh method to me.&lt;br /&gt;This picture was made using an etching point, aquatint, varnish rubbed with old newspapers and acid with a brush. It took five or six steps and the seventh one eventually destroyed them all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-2607688661944108208?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/2607688661944108208/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=2607688661944108208' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/2607688661944108208'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/2607688661944108208'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2009/01/gravure-intaglio.html' title='gravure - intaglio'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SXNnBaJJ06I/AAAAAAAAAg0/P4qWFCKRil8/s72-c/gravure-tete.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-5601553002047808083</id><published>2009-01-03T16:35:00.007+01:00</published><updated>2009-01-03T17:00:19.910+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='livre'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kipling'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='illustration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='book'/><title type='text'>cuvée 2009 - 2009 vintage</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SV-GC-yhtJI/AAAAAAAAAgk/qPH9rk0RxX0/s1600-h/couv.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 256px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SV-GC-yhtJI/AAAAAAAAAgk/qPH9rk0RxX0/s320/couv.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287091873329034386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Couvertu&lt;span&gt;re / Cover&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 25 x 20 cm. 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Voici maintenant plus d'un an que je travaille sur un portfolio regroupant des images inspirées de la nouvelle de Kipling, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;L'homme qui voulut être roi&lt;/span&gt;. Après de nombreux changement, de pages ajoutées et d'autres modifiées, j'ai enfin décidé de le mettre en vente à la boutique de &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Blurb&lt;/span&gt; (drôle de nom), l'éditeur en ligne qui permet de publier ses propres livres. C'est en réalité un imprimeur-éditeur, un peu comme autrefois. Ce n'est pas avec &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Blurb&lt;/span&gt; que je vais devenir assez riche pour me faire escroquer par Bernie Madoff, mais au moins ai-je fait le livre que je souhaitais faire, des croquis à la mise en page. L'essentiel propose une version réaliste de l'histoire et une seconde partie, plus courte, une version SF de la nouvelle. Mêmes personnages, mêmes endroits, mais d'un ton légèrement différent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/518180"&gt;Le livre, au Blurb Bookstore.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;•&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SV-GDMZ-aVI/AAAAAAAAAgs/vMUB2jrqNw8/s1600-h/exemples.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 257px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SV-GDMZ-aVI/AAAAAAAAAgs/vMUB2jrqNw8/s320/exemples.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287091876984154450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Quelques pages&lt;span&gt; / A few pages&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 25 x 20 cm. 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;After more than a year working on this project, I've finally decided to get my Kipling project published on &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Blurb&lt;/span&gt;. I've been drawing and paintings pictures inspired by the short story &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Man Who Would Be King&lt;/span&gt; and the result is now available at the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Blurb&lt;/span&gt; bookstore. I guess I won't make enough money with it to be scammed by Bernie Madoff and his friends, but at least I feel I've done a book I'm relatively proud of, from the earliest doodles to the final layout. The first part (and most important) is a classic version, while a shorter second one is devoted to a sci-fi new vision of the same story. Same characters, same places, different tones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/518180"&gt;The book, at the Blurb bookstore.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/STw8DYPRN6I/AAAAAAAAAWo/BjvmR6o0o88/s1600-h/lechene-a.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-5601553002047808083?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/5601553002047808083/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=5601553002047808083' title='5 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/5601553002047808083'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/5601553002047808083'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2009/01/cuve-2009-2009-vintage.html' title='cuvée 2009 - 2009 vintage'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SV-GC-yhtJI/AAAAAAAAAgk/qPH9rk0RxX0/s72-c/couv.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-215068721257844912</id><published>2008-12-25T22:53:00.008+01:00</published><updated>2008-12-25T23:48:03.710+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='illustration friday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='watercolor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='aquarelle'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='illustration'/><title type='text'>illustration friday : voices</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SVQG63J-irI/AAAAAAAAAgU/8ZAJLcZhaLg/s1600-h/chant_des_sirenes.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 234px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SVQG63J-irI/AAAAAAAAAgU/8ZAJLcZhaLg/s320/chant_des_sirenes.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283855871120411314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Le chant des sirènes. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;aquarelle sur papier / watercolor on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - A4. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Je me mets à mon tour au jeu du &lt;a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Illustration Friday&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, dont le sujet de la semaine était "Voices"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;. J'ai donc choisi de dessiner une sirène, puisque leur chant était&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;, dit-on&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;, plutôt irrésistible. Je sais que les sirènes d'Ulysse ne sont pas des femmes-poissons mais des femmes-oiseaux, mais je voulais juste essayer de peindre des effets d'eau à l'aquarelle et y mélanger les contours imprécis d'une forme humaine. J'aurais aimé pousser l'image davantage, mais nous sommes le 25 décembre, et il y a bien d'autres choses à faire ce jour-là...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;And so I start doing my own &lt;a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Illustration Friday&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; contributions. The theme, here, was "Voices" and I thought I could make a mermaid out of it, since the voice of this creature is supposed to be quite irresistible. I know Ulysses actually meets bird-women and not fish-women, but I just wanted to paint water effects around a human shape. I wish I could have done it better, less quickly ; on the other hand, it's Christmas and there are lots of other things to do on such a day...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://shellywan.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-215068721257844912?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/215068721257844912/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=215068721257844912' title='5 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/215068721257844912'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/215068721257844912'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/12/illustration-friday.html' title='illustration friday : voices'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SVQG63J-irI/AAAAAAAAAgU/8ZAJLcZhaLg/s72-c/chant_des_sirenes.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-4134968998291246036</id><published>2008-12-23T19:17:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2008-12-23T19:32:02.728+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='plume'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pen and ink'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sketch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='croquis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crayon'/><title type='text'>carnets / sketchbooks</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SVEroxXF8xI/AAAAAAAAAf8/c0ZtEAxHggk/s1600-h/page-carnet5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 238px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SVEroxXF8xI/AAAAAAAAAf8/c0ZtEAxHggk/s320/page-carnet5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283051817327260434" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Carnet&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; / &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sketchbook&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. encre sur papier&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; / pen &amp;amp; ink on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 2xA4. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Quelques pages assez chargées d'un carnet de croquis récent.

When I first open a new one, I start making clear drawings, one per page only, taking care not to load pages with too many ideas and doodles. Eventually, I always end doing sketches all over the paper surface, wherever I find the place to do so. I also have fun drawing while watching a movie, so that I can do little studies of props and sets, plate compositions I see on the screen. It is also a cool way to work from memory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SVEroiWx96I/AAAAAAAAAfs/xanHfBuH4xM/s1600-h/page-carnet-a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Oil stains start showing underneath the painting, around the neck.

J'ai toujours aimé ces horizons de champs, leur silence. Lorsqu'on ne possède pas de permis de conduire, il est assez compliqué de partir en expédition, le chevalet-boîte sur le dos, les palettes et les réservoirs de brou de noix et de white spirit accrochés au sac, et la roue arrière chargée de fontes remplies de peintures, de toiles, de sandwiches, de bouteilles d'eau, et les toiles qui sèchent sur le guidon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce jour-là, la pluie allait et venait, si bien que la peinture s'épaississait comme une sorte de mayonnaise autour de la virole du pinceau. Cela ralentit considérablement le travail et le rendit également plus difficile. Sur la peinture de la route, j'ai essayé de peindre le plus fidèlement possible la lumière du bois sous la pluie, sans rien éxagérer, et en gardant le minimum de valeurs, telles que je les voyais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/STw8DVZlHqI/AAAAAAAAAWw/73lQQytuHaE/s1600-h/route-pluie.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 272px; height: 203px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/STw8DVZlHqI/AAAAAAAAAWw/73lQQytuHaE/s320/route-pluie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277158891353087650" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Route sous la pluie&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; / &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;A Wet Road&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. huile&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; sur bois / oil on wood&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 30 x 22 cm. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;I did these three paintings during an afternoon in the countryside, where I used to go with my grandparents when I was a child. Since I don't have a driving license, I find this kind of trip very tough to do. The only way to leave urban areas and get to much quieter spots is to ride a bike, with the easel box on the back, palette, mineral spirits and walnut stain bottles hooked on the side of a bag, holsters full of oil tubes, canvases, sandwiches, water bottles, and wet paintings drying on the handlebars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It rained that day, and around the ferrule of my brushes, paint made big piles of sauce, thick like mayonnaise, which made the color work quite difficult and slower than I expected. While painting the road, I tried to do the light as accurate as I could, with very few values, just as I saw it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/STw8DYPRN6I/AAAAAAAAAWo/BjvmR6o0o88/s1600-h/lechene-a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Il était difficile de peindre, du fait de flots permanents de touristes russes qui allaient et venaient, et du fait que je ne portais qu'un T-Shirt plutôt léger, un des T-Shirts que j'utilise à la maison pour peindre, mais tellement usés qu'ils sont presque transparents ; bref, une mauvaise idée pour peindre en extérieur au mois de novembre. J'ai pu, en revanche, passer plus de temps à dessiner les croquis à l'encre. Les murs décrépis de la ville, les briques à moitié usées et brisées, les taches laissées par l'eau et les algues sur le marbre se prêtent bien à une étude de textures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SSqeSmdj4dI/AAAAAAAAAWQ/LGUkuAX2RpI/s1600-h/porte-venise-a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SSqeSmdj4dI/AAAAAAAAAWQ/LGUkuAX2RpI/s320/porte-venise-a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272200356189954514" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Une porte sur le canal - A Door by The Canal&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;encre sur papier&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; / pen and ink on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - A5. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;A very quick oil study and two pen and ink sketches done while wandering in Venice. It was almost impossible to get the painting done, because of many Russian tourist that kept coming. I also wore only a T-Shirt, the kind I use to paint at home, covered in paint, but so worn out I feel almost as if I wore nothing at all. Not a good idea for out-of-door painting in November. In comparison, the pen drawing were easy to do, and I could spend a lot more time working on them. The rendering of walls, the used  and broken bricks showing through, water stains and seaweeds offer good subjects for a little texture work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SSqeSotOLJI/AAAAAAAAAWI/CWHRKJCadH4/s1600-h/piscina-a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

- éléments que voici :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 - Je suis marié à la merveilleuse Cécile depuis un peu moins d'un mois.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 - J'aime dessiner et peindre, essentiellement des compositions dépouillées et tonales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 - Mes artistes préférés sont les peintres de la fin du XIXème siècle, à savoir des réalistes français (Corot, Bastien-Lepage, Friant, Carrière...), Américains (Whislter, Dewing, Sargent, Beaux...), Britanniques (Waterhouse, Leighton...). Également Zorn, Thaulow, Brokman... Parmi les peintres contemporains dont je suis admiratif et jaloux, Jeremy Lipking, Lucian Freud, Andrew Wyeth, David Levine, Rupert Alexander, Brad Aldridge...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4 - J'ai découvert l'illustration avec John Howe, que j'ai eu le privilège de rencontrer à quelques reprises. Les autres illustrateurs vivants que j'admire sont Alan Lee, Jeffrey Jones, George Pratt, Kent Williams. Parmi les maîtres du passé, Franklin Booth, John Bauer et Edmund Dulac.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 - Plus que des romans, j'aime lire des manuels classiques d'instruction artistique. Mes préférés sont les livres de Harold Speed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6 - J'enseigne la typographie et le croquis en école d'arts graphiques à Paris.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7 - Mon tableau préféré est peut-être &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Mystic Wood&lt;/span&gt;, un inachevé de Waterhouse. Sinon, tous les &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Nocturne&lt;/span&gt; de Whistler et &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Young Girl With a Lute&lt;/span&gt;, de Thomas Wilmer Dewing. J'aime particulièrement les peintures inachevées ou qui donnent l'air de l'être.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;À mon tour de marquer/tagger plusieurs blogs, que voici :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://lovetoillustrate.blogspot.com/"&gt;Alicia Padron&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ericorchard.blogspot.com/"&gt;Eric Orchard&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://danielpotvin.blogspot.com/"&gt;Daniel Potvin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://shellywan.blogspot.com/"&gt;Shelly Wan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;A couple hours before we went to our Venice honeymoon, Cécile tagged me - and if I'm right, that means I have to tell seven things about me and then tag seven other bloggers myself. So, here we go, and these are seven true facts about me :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 - I married the wonderful Cécile last month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 - I love painting and drawing, especially low-key and tonal compositions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 - My favorite artists are late XIXth century painters, including French realists (Corot, Bastien-Lepage, Friant, Carrière...), Americans (Whistler, Dewing, Sargent, Beaux...), British (Waterhouse, Leighton...). Also, Zorn, Thaulow, Brokman... Among contemporary painters I admire and envy : Jeremy Lipking, Lucian Freud, Andrew Wyeth, David Levine, Rupert Alexander, Brad Aldridge...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4 - I discovered illustration with John Howe, a man I had the privilege to meet a couple of times. Other living illustration masters I'm fond of : Alan Lee, Jeffrey Jones, George Pratt, Kent Williams. And among ancient masters : Franklin Booth, John Bauer, Edmund Dulac.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 - More than fictions, I like reading classical art instruction handbooks, and I especially liked those by Harold Speed, a truly incredible teacher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6 - I teach typography and out-of-doors sketching in a graphic design school, in Paris.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7 - My favorite picture might be &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Mystic Wood&lt;/span&gt;, by Waterhouse. If not, maybe any &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Nocturne&lt;/span&gt; by Whistler or &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Young Girl With a Lute&lt;/span&gt;, by Thomas Wilmer Dewing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;I love unfinished pictures, and those which seem to be left so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now, here are four blogs I love, and you should have a look at :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://lovetoillustrate.blogspot.com/"&gt;Alicia Padron&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ericorchard.blogspot.com/"&gt;Eric Orchard&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://danielpotvin.blogspot.com/"&gt;Daniel Potvin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://shellywan.blogspot.com/"&gt;Shelly Wan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-5687897300321775110?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/5687897300321775110/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=5687897300321775110' title='6 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/5687897300321775110'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/5687897300321775110'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/11/tagg-tagged.html' title='taggé - tagged'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SRhmDF8ASbI/AAAAAAAAAVw/qEGS7NTH8cc/s72-c/manteau1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-2717526966870365160</id><published>2008-11-10T13:06:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2008-11-10T13:14:11.118+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='perso'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='personal stuff'/><title type='text'>venise - venice</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Juste quelques photos de notre lune de miel à Venise. / &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Just personal stuff : a few pictures from our honeymoon in Venice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="left: 0px !

Le livre était complexe, à la fois documentaire et fictif, et j'ai proposé de différencier les dessins narratifs du Louvre et les images documentaires. Les premiers furent fait à l'huile, et les seconds, à l'aquarelle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le format du livre était à l'italienne et il fallu combiner des images de diverses natures, un texte courant, des légendes, des notes... L'idée fut donc de produire des images panoramiques du Louvre, destinées à être couvrir la partie supérieure de quelques double-pages, ce qui explique pourquoi ces images sont composées en deux moitiés racontant chacune quelque chose de différent. Les images ont été travaillées avec beaucoup de pâte, avec du gel de structure en sous-couche, afin de se distinguer au maximum des aquarelles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SOxs0VESm_I/AAAAAAAAAVA/qxgbtVT79Is/s1600-h/compo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SOxs0VESm_I/AAAAAAAAAVA/qxgbtVT79Is/s320/compo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254694511498664946" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Le Louvre.&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; huile sur carton&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; / oil on board&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 49x12 cm. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;Last January, I did a book about Alexander the Great and Darius II, King of Persia. It was a children book set in the Louvre museum, which allowed to combine a fictional story and more historically accurate elements, artifacts from the past. The story was so complicated I had to find two distinct ways to illustrate it, and I came up with the idea of large oil paintings telling the story of a kid meeting the sculpted portrait of Alexander and chatting with him (true!), and watercolor vignettes which focused on documents taken from the Louvre collections, and scenes from Ancient Persia. I worked with gel and much more impasto than I usually do, to accentuate the distinction between watercolors and oil paintings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The large oil paintings shown here were intended to run over the double-page spread, which explains why I had to cut their composition in two halves, each part telling a different thing. The Louvre from these pictures doesn't really exist ; it is a mix of several rooms, especially the large red corridors of the French paintings galleries from the XIXth century (where one can see paintings by David, Géricault, Gros...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-4165995633557911000?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/4165995633557911000/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=4165995633557911000' title='3 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/4165995633557911000'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/4165995633557911000'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/10/panoramas.html' title='panoramas'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SOxuzRpy4uI/AAAAAAAAAVI/GTvAd5mf-Ls/s72-c/louvre3a.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-4960681969727183488</id><published>2008-10-08T09:31:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2008-10-09T18:41:12.036+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='exposition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='huile'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='exhibition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peinture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><title type='text'>cadres - frames</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SO4zYgcg60I/AAAAAAAAAVY/rN-vz9kVsUI/s1600-h/cadres2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Je viens de commencer un nouvel emploi, professeur de croquis et de typographie, et je m'occupe aussi des préparatifs de mon mariage, qui est bientôt tout proche. Je m'excuse donc de ne pas avoir plus de temps pour répondre comme je le souhaiterais, ni laisser de commentaires sur les autres blogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mes dessins récents sont tous des études à la tablette graphique, à l'exception de plusieurs peintures à l'huile inachevées, mais voici deux croquis récents, le premier au crayon et le deuxième à l'huile. Tous deux ont été fait à Orléans, et tous deux sont également inachevés. La perspective de la cathédrale était rendue difficile par des échafaudages qui étaient accrochés vers le sommet de la tour. La peinture des berges de la Loire est restée à la première étape en raison d'un orage d'une grande violence qui arrivait par derrière. Le temps de plier bagages, de rentrer en courant et tout était trempé.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SNyj3rXkpuI/AAAAAAAAAUw/29pX5SGE8us/s1600-h/IMG_5647.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SNyj3rXkpuI/AAAAAAAAAUw/29pX5SGE8us/s320/IMG_5647.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250251442536883938" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;La Loire.&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; huile sur toile&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; / oil on canvas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 24x18 cm. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;For several weeks, I haven't been able to update this blog as much as I wished. The truth is, I've just started a new job, teaching outdoor sketch to young art students and typography to others. I also have to get things together for my wedding, which is planned in three weeks, now. So, it's been quite difficult to do everything right, and I hope to get a bit of free time in the weeks to come, to come and post comments on the other blogs, and thank everyone for their nice words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My latest work is digital. I am working on a visual development portfolio, full of studies and sketches made with painter and photoshop. I still have a couple of oil painting on progress, but they are far from being finished, and I just can't show them here. I did these two sketches in the city of Orleans, the first using a graphite pencil and the second, oil paint tubes. They're both unfinished. The first one was more difficult than I expected because of scaffoldings near the top of the cathedral tower, which made the perspective look strange around the edges. I had to stop working on the Loire banks painting just after the block-in, because of a huge storm that came from behind. It was time to go, not to get struck by lightning, but Cécile and I still came back indoor all soaking wet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-4632982476454997317?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/4632982476454997317/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=4632982476454997317' title='5 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/4632982476454997317'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/4632982476454997317'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/09/orlans.html' title='orléans'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SNyj3inyLPI/AAAAAAAAAUo/CTjuoEKlZzc/s72-c/orleans.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-8540045840626512410</id><published>2008-09-15T19:26:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-15T19:46:27.503+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='exposition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='still life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nature morte'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='huile'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='exhibition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peinture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><title type='text'>jaune et rouge - yellow and red</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SM6bIJehm3I/AAAAAAAAAUY/ykwYoqP3_sk/s1600-h/IMG_5376.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SM6bIJehm3I/AAAAAAAAAUY/ykwYoqP3_sk/s320/IMG_5376.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246301180218415986" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Des roses / A Bunch of Roses.&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;huile sur toile / oil on canvas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 4P - 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Quelques roses jaunes et rouges de l'exposition de juin du Lions Club&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;. Si j'avais su, j'aurais poussé davantage la sensation d'étouffement par les fleurs et les feuilles, pour ne laisser apparaître qu'un infime espace révélant l'arrière-plan. Cela me rappelle cette histoire selon laquelle Héliogabale aurait un jour étouffé ses convives sous des pétales de roses qu'il fit jeter du plafond et dont Lawrence Alma-Tadema tira l'une de ses plus célèbres peintures. Il est vraisemblable néanmoins qu'il n'y ait là rien d'autre qu'une légende.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;A bunch of roses, yellow and red, I did for the annual exhibition of the Lions Club Orléans-Midi, in June. I now think I should have painted flowers and leaves all over the canvas, to get the sensation of suffocation I wished to convey, leaving just a small amount of background to breathe. It reminds me of a story from Ancient Rome, telling how emperor Heliogabalus once smothered his guests with loads of rose petals dropped from false a ceiling. Although it might be a legend, Lawrence Alma-Tadema made one of his most famous paintings out of this usual roman cruelty episode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-8540045840626512410?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/8540045840626512410/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=8540045840626512410' title='6 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/8540045840626512410'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/8540045840626512410'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/09/jaune-et-rouge-yellow-and-red.html' title='jaune et rouge - yellow and red'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SM6bIJehm3I/AAAAAAAAAUY/ykwYoqP3_sk/s72-c/IMG_5376.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-4317346746155185033</id><published>2008-09-10T17:21:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-10T17:49:40.908+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fusain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='still life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nature morte'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='charcoal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drawing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dessin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crayon'/><title type='text'>gobelet - paper cup</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SMfnofO_MzI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/SeeZnGA6nwk/s1600-h/gobelet.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SMfnofO_MzI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/SeeZnGA6nwk/s320/gobelet.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244414973861376818" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Portrait d'un gobelet / Portrait Of A Paper Cup. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;fusain et crayon sur papier / charcoal and pencil on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 20x16 cm. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Il y a quelques semaines, en déjeunant dans une cantine, je fus stupéfait par la beauté d'un gobelet de carton posé devant moi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; La table était blanche et lisse, un peu translucide, le gobelet était tout propre et la lumière venant d'une fenêtre latérale adoucissait tous les contours à cet endroit précis de mon champ de vision. J'ai emporté le gobelet pour le dessiner. Il me reste maintenant à le peindre, en espérant retrouver une surface aussi intéressante que cette table de cantine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;A few weeks ago, I went to an office cafeteria, and suddenly, I saw this beautiful white paper cup in front of me. It was standing near my hands, on a white plastic table, and the light coming from a lateral window made the whole seem soft and smooth. I took the cup home and drew it. I still have to paint it, if I manage to find a good white, translucent table to put it on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-4317346746155185033?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/4317346746155185033/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=4317346746155185033' title='4 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/4317346746155185033'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/4317346746155185033'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/09/gobelet-paper-cup.html' title='gobelet - paper cup'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SMfnofO_MzI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/SeeZnGA6nwk/s72-c/gobelet.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-6781994747720849463</id><published>2008-09-02T12:08:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-02T12:40:59.852+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='huile'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='plein air'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='couleur'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pen and ink'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sketch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peinture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='température'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='croquis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='color temperature'/><title type='text'>la source - the spring</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SL0Qw0vVgAI/AAAAAAAAAUI/JFfV__5qyIA/s1600-h/loiret2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SL0Qw0vVgAI/AAAAAAAAAUI/JFfV__5qyIA/s320/loiret2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241363972306075650" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Cécile, dessinant, à la source / Cécile, Drawing At The Spring.&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;huile sur toile / oil on canvas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 24x18. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Voici un croquis à l'huile de Cécile en train de peindre des &lt;a href="http://cecileadam.blogspot.com/2008/08/flamand-2-flamingo-2.html"&gt;flamands roses&lt;/a&gt; à la source du Loiret, dans le Parc Floral d'Orléans&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;. Il a fallu environ une heure et demie pour tout faire, de la préparation aux dernières touches. Je trouve les tons verts toujours très difficiles à déterminer, à graduer, et chaque fois que l'occasion se présente, je m'attache donc à trouver des façons de les représenter. Il arrive, pour peindre le gazon, que l'on place les tons clairs du côté du jaune, les foncés du côté du bleu, ce qui est parfois le cas , mais sous certaines conditions (météorologie, heure de la journée...), mais il me semble que dans le cas d'une herbe rase et clairsemée, les balances de chaud et de froid sont plus intéressants, puisque la couleur de l'herbe peut se mélanger à la couleur de la terre laissée vaguement apparente. Lorsque certaines parties aplaties forment un plan quasi-horizontal, les reflets du ciel interviennent également. Bref, tout ceci est bien compliqué, surtout &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;alla prima&lt;/span&gt; -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; et le résultat, pas toujours convaincant... Quoiqu'il en soit, sur cette petite image, j'aimais particulièrement le rouge des sandales, qui apportait, par son intensité, un contrepoint agréable à l'étendue moins saturée des verts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;This is a 1:1/2 hour sketch I did this summer, in a beautiful botanical garden near Orléans, in France. Cécile was painting beautiful pink flamingos (see an example &lt;a href="http://cecileadam.blogspot.com/2008/08/flamand-2-flamingo-2.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;), and I decided to paint her rather than the birds. I find green tones so challenging to determine and hard to gradate, that everytime I can, I go straight to greenish pictures, or with at least a couple of green elements. When painting grass, we often do the light tones on the yellow side of the adjacent hues, and the dark ones on the blue one, and this specific balance occurs under certain weather and time conditions. Under a warm light, it is especially obvious, but when the temperature isn't that clear enough to be sure what balance use, we find ourselves disturbed by the colors of the lights and the colors of the darks. I like when the grass has been removed from the earth by past footsteps, because the green tones mingle with the brownish colors of the ground. It can be very warm or cold, depending on the quality of the earth. And when spots of grass seem flattened almost to a horizontal plane, you can see reflections of the sky over the local tones of the grass. Working &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;alla prima&lt;/span&gt; is uneasy when you want to get these effects right. And the final painting is not always as convincing as you expected. Here, I was glad to get a very intense and warm spot with the shoes, so that it balanced the whole greenish hues of the scene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-6781994747720849463?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/6781994747720849463/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=6781994747720849463' title='5 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/6781994747720849463'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/6781994747720849463'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/09/la-source-spring.html' title='la source - the spring'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SL0Qw0vVgAI/AAAAAAAAAUI/JFfV__5qyIA/s72-c/loiret2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-5420378174663319226</id><published>2008-08-29T19:24:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-29T19:45:46.712+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='livre'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drawing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dessin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='enseignement'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='art instruction'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crayon'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='book'/><title type='text'>dessin académique - academic training</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SLgxOv-3lVI/AAAAAAAAATM/hr3rr_iPQsM/s1600-h/helleu2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SLgxOv-3lVI/AAAAAAAAATM/hr3rr_iPQsM/s320/helleu2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239992295913657682" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;D'après Sargent / After Sargent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;crayon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; sur papier / pencil on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 18x10 cm. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Deux dessins effectués hier, dans l'ordre.

Pour avoir lu un bon nombre d'ouvrages de 1880-1910, l'un des aspects de l'enseignement académique "éclairé" qui me plaît est que jamais il n'impose une méthode plus qu'une autre. Les seules qualités techniques de ces livres sont l'importance qu'ils accordent au travail d'observation et à l'honnêteté du regard. Ce ne sont jamais des livres d'esbrouffe, de mots qui ne veulent rien dire, d'incitations à copier une manière plus qu'une autre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SLgxO2LnxvI/AAAAAAAAATU/X7-Bt97_uuc/s1600-h/cecile_graphite2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SLgxO2LnxvI/AAAAAAAAATU/X7-Bt97_uuc/s320/cecile_graphite2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239992297577760498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Cécile.&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; crayon &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;sur papier&lt;br /&gt;pencil on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 28x20 cm. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;I did these two drawings yesterday after reading a bit of the book &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Classical Drawing Atelier&lt;/span&gt; by Juliette Aristides. I've been given this beautiful book and - as usual with serious art instruction books - I'm fond of it's clear, honest, fascinating content. Since I've read a bunch of art books from the 1880s to the 1910s, I like intelligent academic process for its clever method, the way it never commands a strict technical manner, but rather emphasize on observation, honesty and character. A single book such as those by Harold Speed or Birge Harrison is worth a thousand mediocre teachers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-5420378174663319226?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/5420378174663319226/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=5420378174663319226' title='5 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/5420378174663319226'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/5420378174663319226'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/08/dessin-acadmique-academic-training.html' title='dessin académique - academic training'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SLgxOv-3lVI/AAAAAAAAATM/hr3rr_iPQsM/s72-c/helleu2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-2026070740071085813</id><published>2008-08-26T10:46:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-27T13:23:04.519+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='walnut stain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pastel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sketch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='brou de noix'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='croquis'/><title type='text'>écrevisse - crayfish</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SLPDYp6dqtI/AAAAAAAAATE/2Pftq_1saao/s1600-h/ecrevisse.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SLPDYp6dqtI/AAAAAAAAATE/2Pftq_1saao/s320/ecrevisse.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238745619897363154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Écrevisse / Crayfish. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;pastel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; et brou de noix sur papier&lt;br /&gt;pastel and walnut stain on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 20x11 cm. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;L'autre matin, j'ai trouvé au marché de très belles écrevisses sur l'étal de glace pilée du poissonnier. J'ai acheté la plus bleue et l'ai remportée à la maison pour la dessiner. J'ai essayé de la représenter au pastel, technique que je n'emploie pour ainsi dire jamais, et donc assez neuve pour moi. Il fallait faire vite pour ne pas la tuer, et la remettre fréquemment dans un tupperware rempli d'eau. Quand j'eus fini, je me rendis sur les quais de la Seine pour lui rendre la liberté. Je n'aurais pas été capable de manger une écrevisse qui avait si bien posé pour un simple dessin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;The other day, I found at the fishmonger some beautiful crayfishes, all round and blue. I decided to buy the bluest and take it back home to make a drawing out of it. I tried to draw with pastel, a technique I never use, and which is quite new for me. I had to hurry not to kill it, and while I was sketching, to immerse it in a tupperware filled with water. When I finished my drawing, ie. when I felt it was time to let the crayfish alone, I got to the banks of the river Seine, with my little tupperware, and released it. I wouldn't have been able to eat such a kind crayfish who had been patient enough to pose for a drawing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-2026070740071085813?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/2026070740071085813/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=2026070740071085813' title='6 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/2026070740071085813'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/2026070740071085813'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/08/crevisse-crayfish.html' title='écrevisse - crayfish'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SLPDYp6dqtI/AAAAAAAAATE/2Pftq_1saao/s72-c/ecrevisse.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-7314293305263258986</id><published>2008-08-19T10:06:00.007+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-15T20:32:33.049+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='study'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wacom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='huile'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inédit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='plein air'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peinture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='landscape'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='étude'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='illustration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='unpublished'/><title type='text'>atelier &amp; plein-air - indoors/outdoors</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SM6qLyzSulI/AAAAAAAAAUg/NO7XEK-EVeo/s1600-h/decor_foret2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SM6qLyzSulI/AAAAAAAAAUg/NO7XEK-EVeo/s320/decor_foret2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246317735525399122" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Un ancien temple  / An Old Temple.&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;photoshop&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Depuis le mois de juin, je ne présente que des peintures à l'huile personnelles. Sans doute le fais-je car je n'ai aucune illustration en cours ; et les quelques rares images que j'ai réalisées dernièrement ne sont pas en ma possession (il faudrait que je pense à les récupérer, mais c'est une habitude que j'ai, de laisser traîner mes dessins et de les oublier). Je fais donc surtout de la peinture personnelle, et il en reste d'ailleurs un certain nombre que j'aimerais publier ici.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ces temps derniers, l'illustration me laisse un peu perplexe. Les livres que je vois ici en France me semblent souvent réchauffés, et ceux qui s'adressent aux enfants ne pas s'adresser du tout à des enfants, mais à des graphistes et illustrateurs qui se font plaisir entre eux, jouant de références, de stylisations et de postures qu'ils chérissent tant. J'ai l'impression, peut-être erronée, que la posture se porte bien, et les afféteries aussi, caractères typiques d'ateliers dont me paraît dépourvue la peinture extérieure et les croquis, où il faut aller vite et faire du mieux qu'on peut pour être compris. Dans l'atelier, l'esprit de synthèse se perd parfois. Nous avons en outre tendance à pousser la propreté des illustrations au point de tuer leurs vibrations, leur mouvement insaisissable au profit de la raideur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais, afin de changer des peintures à l'huile, voici un décor de forêt pour mon portfolio en cours. Si je parlais de la différence entre peinture en atelier et peinture en extérieur, c'est parce que dans ce croquis numérique (photoshop), je souhaitais garder intacte une fraîcheur propre au plein air, de l'effet direct, et ne pas couvrir l'ensemble d'une propreté et de fioritures d'atelier. Il est supposé illustrer un passage de &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;L'homme qui voulut être roi&lt;/span&gt;, de Kipling. Ce livre se prête bien à de l'exotisme et des effets d'échelle assez marqués.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;Since June, I've only published personal oil paintings here, and one of the reasons I've done so is that I don't have any editorial picture on the drawing board these times. The few cover paintings and illustrations I did recently aren't at my place, and I have to get them back before I forget (which is quite common for me). So, I do peronal work, and I've got several pieces I'd like to put here on the blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, the least I can say is that I feel quite perplex about illustration. I know the "web 2.0" is not the place to be harsh (or it is, but in unbelievably mean and disrespectful manners), but I have to say that I'm not convinced with what I see here in French bookstores. There's often nothing new about illustration, especially children illustrations, which ain't aimed at kids at all, but at illustrators and graphic designers, who take pleasure in copying, over-stylizing (to the caricature) and adopting creative stances. Maybe I'm wrong (I surely am), but I think stances and preciosity are doing O.K., and are typical of working indoors. When you work outdoor, everything changes so quickly that you have to focus on the effects you wanna paint with the fastest manner and a very direct and thoughtful approach. You can't fool around with your usual gimmicks. Indoors, when painting at your drawing board, I feel we lose sometimes the ability to see the big picture and use a bit to much of our clever formulas. I also think we so desperately aim at clean, professional pictures that we kill vibrancy of color and movement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, for now, as I'd like to change a bit from the usual plein-air oil paintings, this is a wood digital concept I did recently for my in progress portfolio. I talked about outdoors painting, because in this piece, I tried to capture the scene in a very direct, sketchy approach. I wanted the picture to stay fresh and not to make it over-detailed. The inspiration is Kipling's short story &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Man Who Would Be King&lt;/span&gt;, which is a very good source of exotic, large-scaled sceneries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-7314293305263258986?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/7314293305263258986/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=7314293305263258986' title='6 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/7314293305263258986'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/7314293305263258986'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/08/atelier-plein-air-indoorsoutdoors.html' title='atelier &amp; plein-air - indoors/outdoors'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SM6qLyzSulI/AAAAAAAAAUg/NO7XEK-EVeo/s72-c/decor_foret2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-6585787736832176576</id><published>2008-08-04T23:46:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-05T00:03:37.174+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='exposition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='study'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='huile'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='exhibition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='plein air'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='couleur'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peinture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='landscape'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='étude'/><title type='text'>un ruisseau - a brook</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SJd49xEAIxI/AAAAAAAAAS0/BnOHDTDecYc/s1600-h/IMG_5363.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SJd49xEAIxI/AAAAAAAAAS0/BnOHDTDecYc/s320/IMG_5363.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230782494751597330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Un ruisseau / A brook.&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;huile sur toile / oil on canvas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 24x18. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Un ruisseau de la vallée de Chevreuse. J'aurais dû arrêter la peinture plus tôt, car les ombres et les lumières avaient tant changé depuis le début que chacune de mes tentatives de coller au sujet consista ensuite à peindre de plus en plus épais sur les premières couches. J'aurais aimé que la qualité de touche soit plus expressive, mais, en fin de compte, je ne déteste pas l'atmosphère générale. J'ignore si c'est un problème auquel font face beaucoup d'artistes de plein air, si certains ont des "trucs" pour éviter de devoir repeindre et repeindre en fonction des mouvements du soleil. Je sais que Monet, par exemple, travaillait à peine au delà de 40 minutes sur une toile par session de peinture et il est vrai que parfois, il suffit d'une demi-heure pour que tout change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;A brook in the valley of Chevreuse, near Paris. I should have stopped painting earlier, because the light and shadow were changing fast, and each time I tried to capture the present mood of the whole scenery, it implied that I put more and more heavy, buttery paint over the first strokes. It diminishes the expressiveness of the brushwork, but I still quite like the overall atmosphere. I don't know if it's a common issue, maybe some of you have hints on how to avoid over-painting to match the position of the sun. I know Monet barley worked on a single canvas for more than 40 minutes on each session. And it's true that sometimes, you just work for half-an-hour and everything changes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-6585787736832176576?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/6585787736832176576/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=6585787736832176576' title='4 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/6585787736832176576'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/6585787736832176576'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/08/un-ruisseau-brook.html' title='un ruisseau - a brook'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SJd49xEAIxI/AAAAAAAAAS0/BnOHDTDecYc/s72-c/IMG_5363.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-4374233316079754641</id><published>2008-07-27T20:17:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2008-07-27T20:41:17.693+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='huile'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sketch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peinture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='croquis'/><title type='text'>l'oreiller - the pillow</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SIy70n_gVZI/AAAAAAAAASg/zWuqjYYdtrA/s1600-h/cecile-lit3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 205px;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SIy70n_gVZI/AAAAAAAAASg/zWuqjYYdtrA/s320/cecile-lit3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227759780233237906" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;L'oreiller / The Pillow (Rome).&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;huile sur papier / oil on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 24x19. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Cette peinture est un croquis rapide de Cécile, endormie dans la chambre que nous occupâmes à Rome. Le temps de sortir les pinceaux, de monter le chevalet téléscopique, de préparer les couleurs sur la palette et de tout faire en silence, je n'eus que vingt minutes pour peindre, si bien que j'ai préféré la laisser inachevée, et tant pis pour les inexactitudes. Voyant que Cécile commençait à se réveiller, je m'étais tout de suite concentré sur l'impression du visage enfoncé dans le gros oreiller, abandonnant toute tentative de peindre le reste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai depuis songé à une peinture de grand format sur ce sujet, mais dans des tons très différents. Ayant acheté une toile hier et de grands pinceaux, j'essayerai de la peindre avant septembre et de la publier ici dès que possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;This is a quick sketch I did of Cécile, sleeping in the room we rented in Rome. When I finished choosing the brushes, preparing the palette and mounting the telescopic easel, taking care not to make noise with the whole, I only got twenty/thirty minutes to paint. Since Cécile was starting to move as she was about to wake up, I urge to paint the impression of the face deep in the thick pillow, leaving the rest barely indicated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've since thought of a large canvas picture based on that subject, but far different in tones and mood. I bought the canvas and huge brushes yesterday and I'll try to get it done by the end of the summer (and post a good quality picture of it as soon as it's finished).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-4374233316079754641?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/4374233316079754641/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=4374233316079754641' title='4 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/4374233316079754641'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/4374233316079754641'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/07/loreiller-pillow.html' title='l&apos;oreiller - the pillow'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SIy70n_gVZI/AAAAAAAAASg/zWuqjYYdtrA/s72-c/cecile-lit3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-4126553997511890627</id><published>2008-07-26T11:52:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2008-07-27T20:05:26.509+02:00</updated><title type='text'>rome &amp;

Cécile et moi sommes d'abord allé à Rome, voir les ruines, le Vatican, les fontaines et les Bernin ; puis nous sommes remontés à Florence, voir les palais, la &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Loggia dei Lanzi&lt;/span&gt;, les sculptures et les Jardins Boboli. Les musées de ces villes sont affreusement coûteux, nous rappelant d'un sens la modération du prix d'une entrée au Louvre, mais la relative absence de voitures de nombreuses artères dans les centres historiques permet de jouir du plaisir gratuit d'une belle place, d'une rue tranquille. Et lorsqu'on s'asseoit au milieu de l'une ou l'autre, de dessiner sans crainte de se faire écraser par un automobiliste fou.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai peint ce croquis nocturne à Florence, sur le mince trottoir d'une rue en courbe. J'avais placé mon chevalet à la lueur d'une boutique de luminaires dont la clarté blanche me permettait de voir ma feuille comme si j'étais en plein jour, et de voir la nuit tout autour. Il fallait faire vite néanmoins pour être de retour à l'auberge de jeunesse avant la fermeture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;I'm back from a nice trip to Italy, where Cécile and I visited Rome and Florence. We spent hours walking, on the look-out for sculptures by Bernini, Cennini and Michelangelo, Renaissance and Baroque churches and fountains everywhere. The fare of entrance tickets in museums is quite "paranormal", always around 12-15 euros (even 22 euros for the Palazzo Pitti and its Boboli gardens), but you can still enjoy a free sitting in the shades of a beautiful piazza, and draw without cars all around, trying to kill you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is quick sketch of a street by night I did in Florence. I had found a lamp shop, by which I set my easel, and the light coming from its window allowed me to paint as I would have on a sunny day. I still had to hurry though, to get back to the youth hostel before closing time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-3708055838294900921?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/3708055838294900921/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=3708055838294900921' title='4 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/3708055838294900921'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/3708055838294900921'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/07/nuit-florence-florence-night.html' title='nuit, florence - florence, night'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SIWdKgn8ebI/AAAAAAAAASQ/bQTxPKc6Mzo/s72-c/nuit_florence2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-8424768015773892880</id><published>2008-07-03T00:39:00.009+02:00</published><updated>2008-07-03T13:14:46.425+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='exposition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='huile'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='exhibition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peinture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='étude'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='température'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='study'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='couleur'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='plein air'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='landscape'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='color temperature'/><title type='text'>champs - fields</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SGyvzljrvuI/AAAAAAAAASI/q55XScCneLE/s1600-h/IMG_5381a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SGyvzljrvuI/AAAAAAAAASI/q55XScCneLE/s320/IMG_5381a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218739369005530850" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Le colza / A Flowering Rape Plants Field.&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;huile sur toile / oil on canvas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 3P. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Une des peintures exposées la semaine dernière au Salon Lions Club/Orléans Midi. J'ai peint ce champ le long du Chemin Racine (du nom du tragédien) dans la vallée de Chevreuse, aux alentours de Paris. Il y avait comme un trait droit de couleur jaune vive prise entre le champ vert et les arbres lointain, le filet à peine visible d'un champ de colza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'une des difficultés de l'image était le dépouillement de l'espace (caractère que j'apprécie particulièrement), tenant seulement à quelques graduations de couleur et de ton. Les températures de couleurs étaient celle d'un après-midi (17 heures) très ensoleillé, mais le risque de pousser l'impression de chaud/froid était de nuire à l'effet contrastant de la ligne de colza. J'ai peint cette ligne avec des variations de jaune à moitié mélangées, avec un peu d'empâtement afin qu'elle accroche davantage la lumière que le reste, très lisse. Je regrette que cet effet passât inaperçu lors de la prise de cette photographie.&lt;br /&gt;J'avais peint ce même jour la vue d'un joli ruisseau, une autre petit format exposé également dont j'essaierai de publier une image, dans son cadre doré.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;This is one of the painting I showed at the Lions Club exhibition. I painted this view from under the trees that border a footpath called Chemin Racine (from the tragedy poet), in the valley of Chevreuse, near Paris. There was a field of flowering rape plants (the French name is easier, I think), tracing a thin line of pure yellow between the mass of trees far away and the green field ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My main issue was the relative emptiness of the whole impression (the kind of mood I love, though), just a few subtle color and tone gradations to tell the mood.The color temperatures were those of a sunny afternoon, from around 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. and I felt that emphasizing the balance of these temperatures, i.e. increasing the yellow in the bright green (and blue in the shadow parts) would reduce the effect of the very thin yellow line, which I treated with unevenly mixed yellow gradations, with a little impasto, so that it catches the light a bit more than the flat brushwork of the whole. Too bad it really doesn't show on this picture.&lt;br /&gt;I did another painting, that day, a study of a little brook I also showed at the exhibition, and I'll try to publish it here, with its gilded frame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-8424768015773892880?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/8424768015773892880/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=8424768015773892880' title='6 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/8424768015773892880'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/8424768015773892880'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/07/champs-fields.html' title='champs - fields'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SGyvzljrvuI/AAAAAAAAASI/q55XScCneLE/s72-c/IMG_5381a.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-1644914186312412411</id><published>2008-06-17T10:05:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2008-06-17T10:11:00.780+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='exposition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='art'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='huile'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='exhibition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='monotype'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peinture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><title type='text'>exposition - exhibition</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SFdwXwEZj6I/AAAAAAAAARg/YJwlPMmA2Ts/s1600-h/carton.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Je dois aussi préparer une exposition de peinture qui se tiendra à Orléans dans exactement dix jours, trouver des cadres, vérifier que leur commande n'avait pas été perdue (en l'occurrence, se rendre compte qu'elle avait effectivement été perdue), et l'impossibilité réelle de trouver une gamme de prix pour chaque peinture. Comment quantifier à la fois aux dimensions, médium, support et tenir compte à la fois du facteur sentimental, qui n'a souvent rien à voir avec tout ce qui précède?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quoi qu'il en soit, voici une toile de l'exposition, l'une des plus grandes par ses dimensions (12 Marine : 38 x 61 cm), avec &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Deuil&lt;/span&gt; (présentée &lt;a href="http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/05/pour-urs-for-urs.html"&gt;ici&lt;/a&gt;) et quelques autres images sur papier.

I'm also trying to get things together for a painting exhibition due in ten days in Orleans : the paintings of course, but also frames, a name for each picture, dimensions and, last but not least, a selling price for every item. I find it very hard finding a price that considers dimensions, medium, ground and the more abstract emotional price, which often doesn't match any of the previous objective reasons at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, this one is an oil on canvas from this exhibition, and one of the largest (12 Marine : 38 x 61 cm), and one of my favorite I did this year. Cécile had just bought a beautiful dress, and I wanted to paint her in her new outfit. I tried to be careful working on the edges and color temperatures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-1420664462911250469?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/1420664462911250469/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=1420664462911250469' title='6 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/1420664462911250469'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/1420664462911250469'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/06/au-crpuscule-at-dusk.html' title='Au crépuscule - At Dusk'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SE7DXh50H9I/AAAAAAAAARQ/fYt82v9ovd0/s72-c/IMG_5339a.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-130202819937907253</id><published>2008-05-23T13:09:00.008+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-27T19:12:31.500+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='study'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='huile'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='watercolor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='aquarelle'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peinture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='étude'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='portrait'/><title type='text'>autoportrait(s) - self-portrait(s)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SDamUMqYuII/AAAAAAAAARA/LeG6TtpDZQk/s1600-h/moi_huile.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SDamUMqYuII/AAAAAAAAARA/LeG6TtpDZQk/s320/moi_huile.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203529285399787650" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Moi / Me.&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;huile sur toile / oil on canvas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 24x18 cm. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;De nombreux artistes ont peint leur famille ou leurs amis proches, et le plus souvent par nécessité. Le peintre Eugène Carrière a passé toute sa vie à peindre son épouse, ses enfants ou lui-même, habitude qu'il avait prise dès ses premières peintures quand il était encore fauché.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Travaillant seul chez moi, et passant l'essentiel de mes journées en ma propre compagnie, jamais très éloigné de la planche à dessin, des e-mails et du téléphone, je dois souvent me prendre pour modèle lorsque l'on fait appel à moi pour des illustrations. Que le dessin finisse en vieil homme barbu, en gamin farceur ou en reine de &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Blanche-Neige&lt;/span&gt; importe peu, puisque c'est souvent l'attitude que je recherche. Parfois aussi, lorsqu'une illustration est en train de sécher et que je ne sais pas quoi faire de particulier, je monte un chevalet pliable face au miroir et j'entreprends un autoportrait. L'autoportrait flatte peut-être l'ego, mais il me semble que c'est avant tout pratique, dans la mesure où l'on peut peindre tout de suite ce qu'on a sous les yeux, qu'on connaît assez bien les couleurs de sa propre peau, la structure de son propre visage. Les risques sont également assez minces de bouger en prenant la pose, puisqu'on dispose de la peinture et du miroir pour comparer sans cesse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SDxADsqYuJI/AAAAAAAAARI/tbLXdMFQBAU/s1600-h/selfs.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SDxADsqYuJI/AAAAAAAAARI/tbLXdMFQBAU/s320/selfs.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205105701606176914" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Quelques "autoportraits" / A few "self-portraits"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;aquarelle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; sur papier / watercolor on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 2007&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;Many artists painted their family or relatives when they needed and some usually did because of the money. Eugène Carrière, for example, spent almost all his life painting his wife and children and did self-portraits too, a habit he took when he was still young and broke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Working alone at my place, a quite small studio (large when you consider the insane real estate situation in Paris though), never far from the drawing board, the phone and the computer, I often need to get a model fast to get an attitude done for the illustrations I work on and the easy way is to take the pose and use myself as a model. Eventually, the drawing will be an old bearded man, a kid, a man with a donkey face or even the evil queen in &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Snow White&lt;/span&gt;. Sometimes also, when the illustration is drying and I don't know what to do, I put my easel in front of the mirror and do a little self-portrait. One can think self-portrait is a pretentious matter, but in my humble opinion, I find it mostly practical and easy, since you can get a result quickly, without spending time looking for a model. Since I know quite a bit about my own features, my skin colors and my head structure, I also spend less time trying to figure them out. If you move, you can get the pose right by comparing with the painting, and you can paint as long as you want. And, of course, it is free and you don't bore anyone asking them to be the sitter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-130202819937907253?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/130202819937907253/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=130202819937907253' title='7 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/130202819937907253'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/130202819937907253'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/05/autoportraits-self-portraits.html' title='autoportrait(s) - self-portrait(s)'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SDamUMqYuII/AAAAAAAAARA/LeG6TtpDZQk/s72-c/moi_huile.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-2340164503528625714</id><published>2008-05-19T22:02:00.009+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-19T22:42:28.697+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='walnut stain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sketch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='brou de noix'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='croquis'/><title type='text'>temple indien - indian temple</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SDHetJVRPzI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/VeUDhgM8AFc/s1600-h/temple.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SDHetJVRPzI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/VeUDhgM8AFc/s320/temple.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202183911770242866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Aux confins de l'Inde / At India's Ends. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;brou de noix sur papier / walnut stain on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 28x20 cm. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Travaillant en ce moment à des huiles sur toiles pour une exposition devant se tenir le mois prochain, des images de concept numériques et une couverture de livre, je n'ai hélas pas le temps de dessiner au brou de noix.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; Voici donc un dessin exécuté de cette manière, qui date du début de cette année, soit un temple indien inspiré par la lecture de &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;L'Homme qui voulut être roi&lt;/span&gt;, de Kipling (et d'autres de ses nouvelles). Le récit de Kipling présente une remarquable économie descriptive laissant imaginer les paysages et les atmosphères les plus variés.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;Having many things on the drawing board and easels these days (an oil paintings exhibition due next month, personal digital concept art and a book cover for a young adults novel), I have few occasions, alas, to draw with the delightful walnut stain. I did this picture earlier this year, after re-reading some pages of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Man Who Would Be King&lt;/span&gt;, and other short stories by Kipling. I love how Kipling scarcely used very loose descriptions, but let the reader create broad, exotic landscapes and atmospheres in his mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-2340164503528625714?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/2340164503528625714/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=2340164503528625714' title='8 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/2340164503528625714'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/2340164503528625714'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/05/temple-indien-indian-temple.html' title='temple indien - indian temple'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SDHetJVRPzI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/VeUDhgM8AFc/s72-c/temple.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-1927936164802665193</id><published>2008-05-16T18:35:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-16T18:55:16.715+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='huile'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peinture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='unpublished'/><title type='text'>pour urs - for urs</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SC24RZVRPxI/AAAAAAAAAQo/eZt5sAPvExM/s1600-h/IMG_5281b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SC24RZVRPxI/AAAAAAAAAQo/eZt5sAPvExM/s320/IMG_5281b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5201015753680174866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Deuil / Mourning.&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;huile sur toile / oil on canvas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 65x50 cm. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Cette peinture a connu plus de changements qu'aucune autre. Lorsque je fais une illustration, je préfère m'assurer dès le départ de l'allure définitive que je souhaite donner à l'image, mais lorsque je fais de la peinture, je prépare certes le dessin et la composition, mais je préfère aussi ignorer certaines choses et laisser le hasard, les mauvaises et bonnes idées se produire d'eux-mêmes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il y a un peu plus d'un an, je perdais un ami formidable et les croquis initiaux de cette peinture datent de cette époque. Je souhaitais faire une peinture qui parlât de cette disparition, mais elle passa ensuite par des formes plus colorées, plus gaies pour finir par retrouver la mélancolie des premiers dessins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;A year ago, I lost a fantastic friend of mine and I started some sketches to tell about it. I had in mind a painting of loss and mourning but it eventually became more colorful, brighter, before I recently tried to make it more like it used to be in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This painting has been modified more times than I can count, I guess. I did numerous sketches, drawings, head and hands studies, flowers sketches... but it ended with very few details and almost no color at all. When I do an illustration for a book, I like setting the things right before I start to do it in color, I like knowing a bit how the final piece will be. But when I do painting for myself, I like being surprised by my brushes and colors. This is exactly what happened here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-1927936164802665193?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/1927936164802665193/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=1927936164802665193' title='8 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/1927936164802665193'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/1927936164802665193'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/05/pour-urs-for-urs.html' title='pour urs - for urs'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SC24RZVRPxI/AAAAAAAAAQo/eZt5sAPvExM/s72-c/IMG_5281b.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-2172046628225228559</id><published>2008-05-12T12:53:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-12T13:50:08.387+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inédit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='plume'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pen and ink'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drawing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dessin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='unpublished'/><title type='text'>Shoah</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SCgispVRPuI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/1Lyqxj4yvHw/s1600-h/shoah.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 223px; height: 230px;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SCgispVRPuI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/1Lyqxj4yvHw/s320/shoah.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199443920203890402" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Shoah 1. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;encre et crayon sur papier&lt;br /&gt;ink and pencil on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 8x8 cm. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Trois Étoiles de David dessinées pour un projet plutôt inhabituel sur l'Holocauste, et auquel sont attachés de nombreux illustrateurs, dont Eric Orchard (qui a fait de fabuleuses étoiles). Ce qui ne m'empêche pas - pour être totalement honnête - de m'interroger beaucoup sur le projet en tant que tel, sur ses motivations, le bien fondé de transformer la mémoire de l'Holocauste en activité familiale&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; (puisque c'est un peu de ça qu'il s'agit)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;, d'imposer à des enfants une commémoration à l'égard de laquelle ils me semblent trop jeunes (qu'on leur fiche un peu la paix, non? ils n'ont que dix et onze ans!). Je me pose bien d'autres questions relatives aux intentions de ce projet, sur l'éventuelle autopromotion sous-jacente, mais si vous voulez en savoir davantage, vous pouvez toujours visiter ce &lt;a href="http://blog-me-til-midnight.blogspot.com/"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bref, il me semble que le principe devait s'adresser plus ou moins à des enfants mais les seules dessins qui me venaient à l'esprit étaient plutôt adultes. Les trois reprenaient une composition à rayures, motif caractéristique des camps de concentration, dans la première les rayures tissées d'un pyjama&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;, dans la deuxième des cheminées de four crématoire vomissant de la fumée et dans la troisième, un mélange de barbelés et de chemins de fer vus du ciel, avec les wagons sous la neige. Quoi qu'il en soit, je souhaitais ces images en noir et blanc, peu narratives et presque abstraites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SCguWJVRPwI/AAAAAAAAAQg/jDvAc-30SlM/s1600-h/shoah2et3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SCguWJVRPwI/AAAAAAAAAQg/jDvAc-30SlM/s320/shoah2et3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199456727796367106" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Shoah 2 &amp;amp; 3. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;encre et crayon sur papier&lt;br /&gt;ink and pencil on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 8x8 cm. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;Three Stars of David I did for an unusual project about Holocaust (see it &lt;a href="http://blog-me-til-midnight.blogspot.com/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;), involving many illustrator such as Eric Orchard (who did spectacular stars). I hope I'm not hurting anyone by saying this, but I might be a little unsure about certain things in this project (I could explain why if you'd like me to). Nevertheless, I've always been terrified by the dramatic reality of the Holocaust and I see no reasons not to make pictures about it. I think I was supposed to do pictures for kids, but I couldn't find a way not to do adult, dark stars. Having read a lot about Jews, homosexuals, Roma people, etc. deportations and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Nacht und Nebel&lt;/span&gt; operation, including a very interesting essay by William L. Shirer, I find the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt; WWII annihilation project a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt; too horrific and modern terror for me to create pictures of hope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I built these stars on a repetitive striped composition, a pattern that reminded of typical elements of the camps : the first one is a collar of striped pajamas, the second one an arrangement of oven chimneys and the last, a mix of barbed wires and railroads, with the train wagons seen from the sky, in a snowy mood. I wanted to convey a sense of darkness with black and white, rough and almost abstract pictures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-2172046628225228559?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/2172046628225228559/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=2172046628225228559' title='5 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/2172046628225228559'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/2172046628225228559'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/05/shoah.html' title='Shoah'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SCgispVRPuI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/1Lyqxj4yvHw/s72-c/shoah.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-2827701265470889282</id><published>2008-05-09T16:32:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-09T18:37:40.881+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inédit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peintre'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drawing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dessin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='unpublished'/><title type='text'>ballon - air ballon</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SCRhmG76G4I/AAAAAAAAAQI/8xm7c38Y8Ps/s1600-h/ballon.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SCRhmG76G4I/AAAAAAAAAQI/8xm7c38Y8Ps/s320/ballon.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5198387177217203074" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255); font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Étoiles / Stars&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;crayon et gouache sur papier&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;pencil and gouache on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 23x17 cm. 200&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;7&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Petite dédicace dessinée pour Cécile (dont vous pouvez voir les œuvres &lt;a href="http://cecileadam.blogspot.com"&gt;ici&lt;/a&gt;), en première page d'un livre du merveilleux Jon J.

Il m'arrive parfois qu'un dessin dise mieux que les mots que je pourrais employer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jon J. Muth fait partie de ces illustrateurs extraordinaires dont le travail est tantôt d'une évidente technique à couper le souffle (son roman graphique &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;M, le Maudit&lt;/span&gt;) et tantôt encore d'une sensibilité aux effets sans doute plus économes, mais tout aussi technique, et surtout très belle (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Les Trois Questions&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Old Turtle&lt;/span&gt;...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;•&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;A drawing I did for Cécile (go see her blog &lt;a href="http://cecileadam.blogspot.com"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;), on the first page of a book by the incredible Jon J. Muth, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I Will Hold You 'Til You Sleep&lt;/span&gt;. I think this sketch tells better what I mean than the few words of the dedication I wrote along with this air-balloon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hold Jon J. Muth as one amazing watercolorist and draughtsman, whose work is sometimes of breathtaking technical ability (his graphic novel &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;M&lt;/span&gt;) and sometimes of less demonstrative skill (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Three Questions&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Old Turtle&lt;/span&gt;...), but very technical, talented and beautiful indeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/621327003609551346-2827701265470889282?l=armelgaulme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/feeds/2827701265470889282/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=621327003609551346&amp;postID=2827701265470889282' title='3 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/2827701265470889282'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/621327003609551346/posts/default/2827701265470889282'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armelgaulme.blogspot.com/2008/05/ballon-air-ballon.html' title='ballon - air ballon'/><author><name>armel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04404724159548474196</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SzCx4ONgGrI/AAAAAAAAAyw/h67mHHBA30E/S220/moi.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SCRhmG76G4I/AAAAAAAAAQI/8xm7c38Y8Ps/s72-c/ballon.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621327003609551346.post-2991176414065225937</id><published>2008-05-04T21:44:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-04T21:56:58.755+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='watercolor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='plein air'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='aquarelle'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sketch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='croquis'/><title type='text'>après-midi au soleil - sunny afternoon</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SB4TK_LWETI/AAAAAAAAAQA/n04LRRF9wJw/s1600-h/jardin_plantes_lo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_lK3eQ2r6DTY/SB4TK_LWETI/AAAAAAAAAQA/n04LRRF9wJw/s320/jardin_plantes_lo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196612099510767922" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Arbre et gazon / Tree &amp;amp; Grass. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;crayon et aquarelle sur papier&lt;br /&gt;pencil and watercolor on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; - 14x10 cm. 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Aquarelle du Jardin des Plantes, à Paris réalisée cet après-midi.
