Solo Exhibition in Bromfield Gallery, April1st-26th, Wed-Sun 12-5pm, Boston MA "Holy Contradiction" is an exhibition with one poem "Mother, what do you see?", one photography "Graal", and ten watercolors (22x30 when unframed, 26x34 framed). ​​ These artworks explore the shifting relationship between thought, emotions, gestural painting and pictural form. In this series, Fleur Thesmar paints from a deliberately neutral, or meditative, inner state. Her gestures echo natural mov

… Asthma, and price After I had a serious asthma which developed during several years, I investigated the art supplies I used with my allergologist: it turns out that many classic art brands overuse preservatives in their art supplies to make them « shelf stable » and resistant to time: it means that they don’t rot or crack why they’re on sale in the shop in their pans/tube. In watercolors, these preservatives, that are also damaging for health, evaporate. I was breathing the

It's an international market with international prices, and little space for a free lunch: american prices for the real wool, cashmere and c

What's going on here? Framing. I am preparing my new show and framing my watercolors. Here is a list of supplies I frequently use, available on Amazon and explanations on the process. It took me years (true!!) to perfect this process, and I am happy to share it. You have three choices when it comes to framing your art: Ask a professional framer. It is costly but if you are only framing one specific piece, it is better to support your local artisan. He will help you choose the

...When I started watercolors: start small. Why is it such a good advice? Read below: List of supplies that I own, have tested and appreciated, available on Amazon: Even if I now make what are considered as large watercolors (22x30 inches up to 35x50), I go back again and again to this wise advice: start small - I know, its frustrating, because you will also hear the exact opposite: make it huge! But for a beginner, it was extremely precious to remain humble: Fear not! Any mi

I was reflecting upon my work, one very large watercolor and a figurative one, with super impressions of magnolias, mathematical Penrose tilings, in a forest landscape.
