 Isabelle Duret-Dujarric's watercolors have the characteristic to be as intense in colors as her oil paintings
Generally used in pale tones, small quantities, with lots of water, the in fact extremely concentrated pigments of watercolors could also allow optimum vivacity and intensity : what could be more attractive for an artist whose search is particularly to reach as much color as possible ? |

Painted on a very thick paper of Arches, with the same technics of pure color, superpositions and transparences as in oil paintings, Isabelle Duret-Dujarric's watercolors have as much power with - in addition the shades of tones bursting and fading at the mercy of the damping of the support - but fewer troubles and less thickness of the material, not possible with watercolor but built up with a more outlined stroke and touched up with dry pastels. All this contributes to make of one of these smallest watercolors a masterpiece as succesfull and representative of the artist's originality as one of her best oil paintings. |
