Original artwork description:

Mixed media on stretched canvas, 50X50 cm.

This painting applies for the Liquitex/Artfinder : "Muted collection competition"

I've used soft and muted colors, pastels tones, to match with the idea of contemporary french chic : discreet, soft, elegant, and a touch of nobility. I always keep in mind the interior of french noble houses, royal castles from the place where I live : the Loire valley.

The title of this artwork is a wink with the "Rococo style".
"Rococo style" is a european decorative style from XVIIIe century: profusion, delirious with a decorative aim, but with subtle colors like blue grey, antique pink, green olive, grey white, brownish green… not bright or vulgar colors, but assured, muted colors.
I used a very particular blue which we call in French “petroleum blue”: a hardly made green/blue indigo.
I also worked much the transparent colors. The white run-outs appear grey in transparency. They bring a more contemporary aspect to the artwork.

I used water media : markers, acrylic inks, watersoluble pencils, acrylic, gesso, pastels wax.
As you see on additional photos, this painting passed by several very different stages before arriving in its final state.
