2nd price at regional painting contest!
Posted on September 23rd, 2008 by admin
I won the 2nd price of 2nd category of the pleinair speed painting contest “Fleurs en Seine” (”Flowers around the Seine river”) at Les Mureaux (on the Seine riverbanks near Paris). This year’s theme was the Seine river and the trees, and I can say that I’m quite proud of me because I made this huge acrylique painting (26″ x 18″) in less than 6 hours, and believe me, it was a real challenge for me as I’m used to small formats… I had to paint “loose” because I would never had finished it if I had tried to paint all the little details I usually add with my 4/0 brushes!
I won a big wallet full of Sennelier finest arists’ oils and accessories! I will have no excuses now if I don’t start on oils!
