I participated to a painting workshop organized by Nadine-Nacinovic in his beautiful atelier in Drôme, and we painted on the motif. I did some technical painting in order to better master colors: here is a two-pigment painting, ochre and cyan, with an ochre background:

Nadine gave us specific feedback on our work and insisted that we prepare, using a marker, several preparatory sketches, of which here is an example.

I took part in a two-day workshop organized by Stéphane Pau at l'Étoile-de-Voiron, near Grenoble. Intense, very professional and very relaxed at the same time, with live poses ranging from 1 minute to 20 minutes. I was able to deepen several techniques, in particular charcoal, sanguine and pastel.

Several models intervened during these three days at l'Étoile-de-Voiron: Avril, Selma, Clarinha. Charcoal, sanguine or pastel from 30x40cm to 50x65cm. Life figure sketch, from 1mn to 20mn.

I took part in a four-days plain-air painting workshop organized by Stéphane Pau at l'Étoile-de-Voiron, near Grenoble.
