WORK IN PROGRESS

JULIE BRETON ART | WORK IN PROGRESS

I am currently working on a series inspired by the French novel Madame Bovary from Gustave Flaubert. Using charcoal, conté, pastel and acrylic paint I built layers upon layers of colours, marks and drawings. Here are detail close up of my work in progress.

You can see regular studio updates on my instagram.

I framed this artwork for myself. I am glad I did. Everytime I see it I am reminded how I love working with colour, transparency and texture. It inspires me to get into the studio and create some more.
