I took part in a one-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 to 15 minutes. Three models intervened and I was able to deepen several techniques, in particular combining fountain-pen and watercolour.
