I loved that class , Lynne's definitely a marvelous host, the studio is great and this town is profoundly inspiring . Our students were great , they worked intensely and it was a pleasure to teach to them. We had time to cover all the main technical elements but an extra day would have been welcome for the simple pleasure of getting closer to completion ...We used Williamsburg oil paints , gently provided by Golden Paints, thank you Golden !!!</span><br />

Carélie and Ruisseau d'Ivan are from Ivan Chichkin ( 1832.1898). This is probably the influence of the week we spent , for the International Salon of decorative painting, in St Petersburg!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.4667px;">Maison et Objet January 2016 was over on Tuesday night...here are pictures of my last booth.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.4667px;">My sources of inspiration were, at usual ,definitely classical . I am and will certainly forever be fascinated by beautiful paintings.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.4667px;">The gorgious hand with the flowers is from a croatian painter of the late XIXth, Mr Bukhova , the grisaille from a photo I took of a plaster relief in a nice castle where I worked a couple of years ago, the romantic moonlit landscape from Wright of Derby, the melancholic portrait from Lord Leighton ( I love english painters very much) , the delicate hand and bubbles from a student of Rembrandt named Karel Dujardin and the lovely roses from a still life by Peter Faes ( flemish , late XVIIIth)...I hope you will enjoy those pictures.</span><br />

The door itself is a nice subject for studying moldings , lights, shadows and various reflections. Linear perspective is also part of this class, for the tracing of the foreground tiles in particular. I hope you will like this.</span></div>

<br />
Here are a few pictures of my latest booth at Maison et Objet.<br />
<div>
My exhibitions space was smaller than usual ( you do not always get what you want on such huge shows) so, instead of showing a variety of medium sized paintings as I usually do I decided to cover my three walls ( height 3,5 m / 10,5 ft) with three large murals. </div>
<div>
I wanted to show potential customers how a space is positively altered by such large artworks ...and I think it worked pretty well.<br />

<a href="http://www.paris-hotel-stjacques.com/">Hotel St Jacques</a>, located between Pantheon and Notre-Dame is one of my oldest clients.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did the first mural for them in 1994, in the reception.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year, 20 years after (!) , we removed that canvas and I painted another one...dedicated to <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_de_Toulouse-Lautrec">Toulouse-Lautrec</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created a view that mixes different paitnings and models of the painter as well as a portrait of him, seated as if he were drinking an "absinthe" at the bar...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Toulouse-Lautrec really was a fantastic painter and it was a great pleasure to try and walk in his footprints.</div>

Here are a few more paintings I did quite recently for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AuSoli">Au Soli</a>, in Megeve.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just love this "vintage" mountain feel and paintings those subjects truly is a pleasure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We were in Megeve this afternoon and noticed that clothing fashion is quite in the same mood.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Old mountain boots are imitated and even the famous "fuseau" by <a href="http://www.aallard.com/">Allard</a> is available again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seems that these decades ( between 30s and 60s) really captured the essence of what being in the mountains means.</div>

This is one more astonishing example of the richness of the history of this small community.<br />
Around 1432 , after Joan of Arc'c trial and execution , two "chevaliers" of Andelot where commissioned to take part to the Joan's rehabilitation trial.<br />
In these times Andelot was in fact the official legal center of a vast territory which included Domrémy, Joan's home town ...where she grew up, as a shepherdess, and heard her "voices" ( God telling her to go help Charles IV become king and kick our british neighbours out of french kingdom !)<br />
The two men rode to Domrémy and gathered information about Joan's life and personality from different local witnesses.<br />
Their report said that Joan was certainly not a witch and on the contrary a good christian. This of course was not what Joan's opponents ( led by the bishop Cauchon) wanted to hear and the local authority, the Bailly of Chaumont ( larger city ruling over Andelot ), was not happy at all with the chevalier's report.<br />
<br />
I have represented this confrontation , on one side the chevaliers and their men, on the other the Bailly and some priests or bishops and their guards.<br />
In the background, Joan in the middle of a furious battle , in the foreground the chevaliers riding to Domrémy...<br />
My source of inspiration for the composition was a marvelous painting by <a href="http://www.kevinalfredstrom.com/art/v/paintings/Albert+Herter+-+_magnacarta.jpg.html">Albert Hert</a>er.<br />

...and the story goes on like this.<br />
As the <b>Treaty of Andelot</b> really is the most important event that took place in this village we decided to have several murals about it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Since we had the treaty itself illustrated on Place Cantarel ( main square in the village) , its "essence"or symbolical content represented in the town hall , we decided to create two murals in the next biggest square of the village, called "Place de l'Auditoire Royal".<br />
I proposed to represent the situation <u>"before"</u> and <u>"after"</u> the treaty.<br />
<br />
Here is the <u>"before"</u> mural:<br />
<br />
The period that preceeded the date of the signature of the treaty is characterized by a series of conflicts, murders, treasons and unstable alliances which finally laid the ground for wishes of peace and reforms.<br />
The most important rivals of this tormented age were<br />
- the queen of Austrasie ( kingdom of the East) called <b>Brunhilde</b> or Brunehaut ( Wagner's walkyrie Brunehilde was named after this queen!)<br />
- the queen of Neustrie ( kingdom of the north-west) named <b>Fredegonde</b>.<br />
My compostion is thus based on the representation of these famous women , of scenes of battles , the background being a map that shows how the territories were divided and broken down into separate units.<br />
In the foreground , the names of all the royal families individuals who died and were killed.<br />
<br />
Here are pictures of the upper and lower part of this mural on the walls on my studio:<br />

but the historians I am in contact with told me that even though pretty good looking and sexy she was really too "dungeon and dragons" and that it was really hisotirically uncorrect to have her was represented actually fighting , that is holding a weapon....so I took a couple of pictures of my "lady' and started to modify her on Photoshop. I started with the head wear , removed the bow...etc...</div>

and ended up with this new version of Queen Brunehilde.<br />
She is still a little "Hollywood" but more historically accurate.<br />
My whole business as an artist on this project really is to try and keep both ends , not too far from scientific accuracy, not too far from legend and imagination.</div>

This wall in the town hall's entryway was the one that the mayor wanted to decorate initially.<br />
At some point I had planned to paint a different version of the signature of the treatee but finally I decided to use the models I had worked from for the large outdoor mural and to put the focus on the essential elements of this historical event :<br />
_ the territories : the map<br />
_ the people<br />
_ the names of the kings and queen : Gunthram, Childabar,Brunehild<br />
_ the treaty : as the original document has not bee entirely saved I have copied a XVth century document whose illustration shows the meeting between the two kings. It has been painted for french king Charles VII by Jean Fouquet, one of the first french painters who used the laws of perspective according to the italians painters of early Renaissance.<br />
<br />
All the outdoor murals are painted in acrylics ; this one is a "mixed media" painting , the figures are in oils, the rest of the painting in acrylics.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Four years ago, as I was exhibiting at MAISON ET OBJET a man stopped on my booth and introduced himself.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He was the mayor of a small community in the east of the country and was looking for a mural artist to paint a new decor in his town hall entryway. He had a surface of 2X2 m and and intended to illustrate a local historical event :</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the oldest peace treaty we have kept track of in the history of our country had been signed in his village in <b>587</b>. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The place is named <b><a href="http://www.andelot.eu/">Andelot</a></b> and the treaty known as the "<b>Traité d'Andelot</b>".</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We talked a little bit about the project and I said I would call him back after having made researches and a sketch.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I had just spent a couple of weeks painting with famous public artist William Cochran I was still full of the numerous and rich conversations I had had with William . My views on public art had been very vague so far . </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With William I learnt that public art could be a real asset for a community. It could bring people together , it could give people a sense of belonging to a special place and consequently foster local energies and creativity. It could make a very ordinary place attractive for other people, for tourists, and eventually lead to economical growth and business development.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All this lead me to tell this mayor that he had a great story to tell ( the treaty, even though it does not belong the major events of our history has been tought in schools for decades) and that it deserved more than 2x2m , that if he had an exterior wall where I could paint, this would be worth it.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He got back to me very quickly, I drove to his place and we examined different possibilities.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We decided that the best place for the mural was this one ,</span></div>

I am presently exhibiting 10 mn from home, at <a href="http://www.siiam.fr/">SIIAM Megeve</a>...and this made me think of writing a short post about my previous exhibition : Maison et Objet, last January.</div>

Each show gives me the opportunity to create a new collection . I usually have a couple of pieces that did not sell during the previous show but I seldom show them again. My big pleasure is to research and explore new themes. Each time I am in "collection creation" mode I dream I had a huge booth and enough time to fill it up with all the ideas I have ...but maybe it is better I have a rather small one , all ideas are not good and viewers could be totally confused by my eclectic tastes !</div>

I knew I had been busy these last few months but I did not notice so much time flew by.<br />
Anyway, I am happy to be back online , I have a few things to show, here is the first one:<br />
<br />
I have a mural class scheduled this summer at <a href="http://www.palmfinearts.nu/mural1/sommar13/som13.html#english">Palm Fine Arts</a>.<br />
When I teach this type of course I usually do a full size study of the subject chosen before teaching it.<br />
In order to make sure the content is not too "heavy" I make sure it will not take me more than a day to paint.<br />
My friends Lotta and Mats, owners and teacher at PFA, asked me to propose a landscape with a little bit of a swedish "taste". I made a mix based on a <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Chichkine">Chichkine</a> ( marvelous russian painter!) landscape and a little background of "my own" and stopped after almost 12 hours , here is the result ( painted with <a href="http://www.proceedsystem.com/proceedstory/index.php">Golden Proceed</a>) :<br />
<br />

6. Finished panel. I guess that we will add some "living" element in the foreground. There is a bird on Chichkine's model ...I would like to paint a fox in the flowers, at mid-distance.</div>

The whole process is of course much more complex than these short explanations but these are really the steps we will go through when painting this landscape. The focus will be put on the values , on the correct use of paint consistency ( opaque vs. transparent) and on the brushwork. Colors are also key to such subject but the technique ( sepia underground) and the palette we will use will prevent us from getting too green.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Landscape are very interesting to study, quite difficult ( many painters paint good figures but weaker landscape ...one could think that the contrary was true) but with the help of a few technical keys one can really improve.</div>

<br />
They had bought a folding screen a couple of years ago and in April they had ordered one on the "Singerie" theme.<br />
I did a few sketches , sent them and after a couple of changes we agreed on the composition.<br />
I suppose that some people from Condé Nast visited their gorgeous shop and liked the screen.<br />
They decided to have it as a background to the nice Xmas card they did for their clients.<br />
Here it is .<br />
Scarf by <b>Hermes</b>, fabric by <b>Chanel</b> ...and my little screen ...and the donkey!<br />

After having tried a couple of sketches based on GiambattistaTiepolo we finally decided to find our inspiration in french painters.<br />
The most talented baroque ceiling painters was, to my mind, <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Lemoyne">François Lemoyne.</a><br />
His ceiling in the <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salon_d'Hercule">Salon d'Hercule</a> in Versailles , quite recently restored, is an absolute masterpiece.Last time I visited the castle I took a series of pretty good pictures and found a good book on the restoration of this huge work of art.<br />
I picked up different elements in this large assembly of figures and made my own compositions, trying to produce nice arrangements.<br />
<br />
I have not yet seen the place where the canvases have been installed as it is somewhere in Russia but, for the preparation of this work, I had a very good rendering of the moldings of the actual ceiling.<br />
The room is very long and includes two parts like this:<br />

I did two canvases for each "half" , that is four canvases in all ( each canvas is approximately 4 meters wide).</div>

I painted everything in oils of course . All of the pictures I used for refence were not very accurate and I hard a time with some faces and draperies . The hardest part though was certainly to give these paintings a kind of softness or more exactly "patina" that is characteristic of aged oil paintings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With time, oil paintings seem to acquire a very particular smoothness that is part of their charm.</div>

It is actually very interesting to know that Lemoyne himself, when he patented his ceiling complained about the fact that, in the same room, on the walls, were two large paintings by Veronese himself and that these had a softness ( a patina) that he could never compete with !!!!</div>

Most of these paintings were squares of 41x41cm...<br />

The down-side is that you never really meet them, or rarely. You can only guess what advice they would give you and have to observe their work intensely in order to hear their voice whispering into your ear.<br />
I think I started copying drawings on comics at the age of seven or eight . I was a fan of Asterix, drawings by Uderzo , texts by Goscinny. I still am . I have learnt a lot with Uderzo.<br />
Many years after I keep learning the same way. If you follow this blog you have noticed that I copy a lot. I love it. I love putting my own small feet in masters huge footprints.<br />
Sometimes, when I have time, I copy just for fun and not for work.<br />
Here are a series of drawing I did a couple of years ago when I discovered the marvelous work of <a href="http://www.jbmonge.com/">Jean-Baptiste Monge</a>. His drawing are so beautiful and funny that I could not resist the pleasure of letting my hand be guided by his.<br />
The last drawing of the series is not by Monge but a representation of myself, playing the guitar ( I was learning how to play Classical Gas the same week as I did these drawings).<br />

For those who want to learn how to paint and who do not know what to start with, my advice ( not original I am afraid) is that if you cannot draw you will have trouble painting and will get stuck at some point. A good drawing is the key to success and progression.</div>
For those of you who wonder how to learn without a teacher I would suggest to do what I am showing in this post , copy, when you feel you have understood the style of the artist you have picked up invent your own drawings "in the style of", then pick up another master and do it again and again ...it worked for me...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884060296380232965.post-11280382866663736312012-09-22T13:08:00.003-07:002012-09-22T13:11:39.895-07:00The Mix .I do not know how I came up with this idea . But does anyone really know how ideas suddenly appear in our minds. I remember that I was searching something "new" for a show in Bergamo , an exhibition that took place in Palazzo Moroni ( at the same time as <a href="http://www.salonforever.se/Salon2009/Salon2009panels.htm">Salon in 2009</a>). I was working with <a href="http://www.williamcochran.com/Artist.asp?ArtistID=3731&Akey=YX679BSX">William Cochran</a> in the US and one evening in my hotel room this "idea" of mixing up ornaments, preferably sketchy ones, quite loosely painted with waterbased technique and "central images" painted realistically in oils came to me. I did a few quick sketches , I thought it was a cool idea.<br />
Did I really find someting or did I help memories to come back to the surface of my consciousness? This idea is certainly not new , others have done it before me ( I have seen this afterwards) but when this happened I really thought this mix was original...here are the results. These are paintings I did a few years ago but I still love them.<br />
I love the art of painting per se. I feel grateful towards all the artists of the past who where strong enough to deal with the Beauty of the world and so talented that they added to it... I am impressed by all the artists of our time who dare do the same . I have been given the gift of painting too and I try my best.<br />

Here is my booth and collection of previous <b>Maison et Objet</b> (this year in January).</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
I am so busy this Fall that I had to cancel my participation to the show. I am glad to be working on a fabulous project right now and I will certainly not complain but I am also a little sad since I will not have the pleasure of seeing my clients and of sharing a new collection with them and with new people from all over the world .</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
I particularly enjoy the creative process of imagining a new collection and finding ways to present it.</div>

I will be back on the show at Scéne sd'Intérieur in January …I already have ideas for the first 2013 collection.</div>

These countries had indeed already established, at that time, strong and steady business relationships with the East.<br />
It came to France a little later and really became a trend in the beginning of the XVIIIth century. This fashion gave birth to the most charming things, whether it be painted furnitures, fabric designs, paintings, tapestries and the like.<br />
Chinoiserie designs were showing the everlasting seduction of exoticism but also expressed a real admiration for chinese arts as well as for some aspects of chinese philosophy and society.<br />
<br />
I created a "chinoiseries" collection for a Maison et Objet show a few years ago and ever since then I have orders for such designs. It is fun painting, full of charm and humor ; it is a nice playground for fantasy, nice color harmonies and strange vegetal forms...<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is a version of a panel by A.Peyrotte. Casein on canvas ( approx. 210x100cm)<br />

Mats and Lotta have been running one of the leading schools in the industry , <a href="http://www.palmfinearts.nu/Galleri/galleri.html">Palm Fine Arts</a> , for quite a few years now, ( have a look at their website ) , they organized <a href="http://salonforever.se/Salon1999/Salon1999.htm">Salon</a> in Norrkoping in 1999 and propose a three week summer class ( see <a href="http://demeurespeintes.blogspot.fr/2011/09/summerclass-at-palm-fine-arts.html">this post</a> about 2011 mural week) each year . </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884060296380232965.post-18457169892559914282012-03-19T13:04:00.002-07:002012-05-20T22:27:29.623-07:00Lotta OlssonI have been in this business for 25 years . I am lucky enough to know many of my peers and fellow painters, in different countries. Many of them have become friends , very dear friends.<br />
Two of them are special for two reasons:<br />
- they were the first ones to invite me to come teach in their country and consequently upgrade me to the status of "international" teacher ( woww!).<br />
-they live in Sweden and apart from the mountains where I now live , the other place my wife and I cherish in Europe is their homeland.<br />
<br />
They are the "talented swedes", Mats Carlsson and Lotta Olsson.<br />
I have seen them grow as painters and artists ( we have met each year for 13 years ) , I have always loved their style . They are extremely nice people , their work is full of sensitiveness , their skills remarkable and they are sincerely humble. I never get tired of hanging around with them .<br />
Here are examples of Lotta's work ...<br />
