Blouet Watercolors

                
"The ocean is the perfect subject for watercolor.  The medium renders the transparency of the water in a unique way.  We often think that the ocean is blue---however it offers a very wide palette of colors with complex reflections." "Landscape is a classical subject in watercolor.  Painting a landscape is diving into it.  I notice details, modify them, add elements that relate to me or just to change the design of the painting."  "I paint my friends, children, family members, or people I meet during my travels.  Painting a portrait develops an interesting relationship between the painter and the subject." "Boats are beautiful objects.  They have pure lines.  I've sailed all my life and I'm very sensitive to the beauty of the hull and the shape of the sails in the wind."               
"With a brush, I will make everybody feel what I saw…"  
--- Delacroix, in his diary
