I took part in a three-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 30 seconds to 30 minutes. I was able to deepen several techniques, in particular combining fineliner-pen and watercolour.

I also developed charcoal drawings:
