Under the Granville Bridge by Sandrine Pelissier

Under the Granville Bridge by

This is my latest watercolor and mixed media (I added a bit of gouache and watercolor crayons) on yupo paper. From the same series of pictures I took to my last trip downtown Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada):

What inspired me to paint this picture was the contrasting blues of the buildings with the yellow and orange lights. I also like the contrast of the cir-convoluted textures on yupo with the straight lines of the cityscape

About Sandrine Pelissier

I grew up in France but have been living in Canada for the last 12 years, I am currently located in North Vancouver and work from a studio on Pemberton Avenue.

I have two passions:
- Painting the effects of light with watercolor on paper through portraits and cityscapes
( http://www.watercolorpainting.ca/ and http://www.yupopaperpainting.com/ )
- Building complex textures and edges with acrylics and mixed media on canvas (http://www.mixed-media-paintings.com)

    This is superb, Sandrine. Wow, you are such a quick worker – I remember seeing this last week as a sketch.

  • Yes! I seem to be in a productive phase, but it’s not always like this :-)

    Formidable ! j’aime beaucoup le premier plan qui permet ensuite à l’oeil d’aller au-delà…Les tons adoptés sont collent tout à fait à ce paysage urbain

  • Merci, j’hesitais un peu avec cette composition mais finnalement j’aime bien. As tu essaye de peindre sur du papier yupo ? C’est etonnant et vraimment different, ca me force a être moins detaillee.
