Recent Discovery, Dr. Sketchy

I was talking life drawing with my friends at Ubisoft, (we`re setting a life drawing session in Annecy) and one of them show me a fantastic web site. It`s not the website that stunned me, but the organisation behind it. In New York, in 2005, Molly Crabapple, started a rather funky kind of life drawing workshop. It's a mix of Cabaret and Life drawing. It's decadent, it's funny, it's sexy. I loved the idea of being Toulouse-Lautrec. The movement spread quickly around the globe. Now Tokyo, London, Paris, Montreal got there own Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School. Will there be an Dr. Sketchy Annecy? who knows... follow this link to learn more about this.

Painting of the day.

I went out today, on my favorite spot around the lake in Annecy. I sat there 45 minutes. And here is the result of my doings. I kinda like it. I regret adding the smalls figures on the shore.
Still I think they add a little something. The sun was warm and golden, the snow on the mountain top, even at that distance, didn't felt cold at all.

Watercolor Workshop

Last week, I decided to organize a watercolor workshop here in Annecy. I choosed the painter Cao Bei An, to be our instructor for a 4 days course. So I sent him an email and in the evening we were discussing on the phone, about organizing the event. I'm really excited about this and I'm really looking forward to see him in action.
