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.
