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:

Several models intervened during these three days at l'Étoile-de-Voiron: Camille, Clarinha, Manina, Patrick, Selma, Tiyi. Charcoal, fineliner-pen and watercolor from 30x40cm to 50x65cm. Life figure sketch, from 5mn to 30mn.
