Sylvie Griselle

My training was attending lectures by watercolourist Thionvillois for two years. Thereafter I conducted workshops and internships. I participated in many exhibitions and competitions that have brought me to the days of honorable awards both in France and abroad .

From 1980 to 1985 I exhibited in several galleries (Nancy , Strasbourg , Thionville , Basel) . 

My artistic activity was discontinued in the 90s for professional reasons and it was not until 2011 that I could take the brushes.

From 2012 I have participated in many events on watercolor such qu'Uckange , Namur, the Biennale de Saint Pol de Léon , Montgermont , and also the festival Gaillon I also attend the show this Confluences in Aiguillon fall.

My passion for watercolor inspired me to explore the different techniques in the landscape, animal theme , but it is especially the portrait that inspires me. I try to translate with this amazing medium of watercolor , emotions and feelings of my characters.

La petite tibetaine, watercolor

Laurence Ghislain

Artist in the soul, already every girl I had appropriated this art that is the drawing. 

As time goes by and while growing, my master's degree became refined and my desire to put colors on this blank page hatched by pencil strokes invaded me. Only the watercolor answered my waits.  

Free and magic the creative water subjected me. The watercolorist tightrope walker has from then on respite only to confront there. Ceaselessly amazed by the magic of the watercolor, her effects, her lights, her intensities, I pursue my begun journey 20 years ago. I learn every day of a so rich, so surprising technique. 

Every watercolor is a moment of grace.  My only wish is to make it to you share and to invite you to a festival of colours …

Time, watercolor

Binnur Cavusoglu

According to me watercolor itself which is transparent and has got poetry inside, is the best expression technique compare to all kinds of art. It's full of surprises.

Transparency and liquidity of watercolor requires control therefore it races against time. Boats, harbors, sea, streets , fields, briefly everything that brightens with light constitute my themes.

Binnur Cavusoglu was born in Istanbul. After she completed her interior design education she had worked on hospital, hotel and restoration projects. Also she used watercolor technique in her projects which was the common expression technique in 80's.  she attended Isil Ozisik, Alvaro Castagnet and Joseph Zbukvic's workshops. 

In 2012 she won the outstanding prize with 'Haydarpasa Railway Station' which is sponsored by Bold Brush Faso. She also participated in local and foreign exhibitions.
