Irresistible Paris on Watercolors
of
Thierry Duval
French watercolorist with an impressive talent for capturing city life Thierry Duval
was born in Paris, France in 1968. He is one of the best watercolor
artists of the moment. His watercolors are characterized by a strong
light and precision in drawing, being almost or hyperrealism in the
results mainly in his Paris watercolors. By using glazing technique he
works in several steps up to get the final, very realistic result.
Thierry enjoys photographing the Seine in the early morning, he likes to
filter light below decks, roofs gleaming in the rain, the silhouettes
of majestic monuments that arose at the turn of an alley, the sounds of
Paris, barges, markets, cafes. He likes to observe these lonely passers
on the Pont des Arts, he likes to soak up the fall in Paris. This
photographic work, nourishes and inspires him in his painting: this
leads to the realism of a Paris dreamlike, poetic, nostalgic and
timeless. If you love Paris you’ll find these Paris watercolors
irresistible!
