Thuline

This year Thuline is painting her animal studies in watercolour and pastel which gives them a freshness while retaining their quirky character.

Artist Details:Born 1970 in Bruges, Belgium, Thuline has a degree in interior design and Life Drawing and has a certificate of pedagogic training in art which is necessary to teach in Belgian schools. She moved to England in 1996 and has held many solo and group exhibitions. She combines her passion for painting with raising a young family.

'I observe animals, their shapes, gestures and mannerisms and in developing my ideas I take them quite often out of their context. In my work I explore the possibilities of bringing the subjects in and out of focus. Composition plays an important role in my paintings and I sometimes use perspective to distort images. I like using bold colours
