Doxa - Sauvage Painting

Sauvage Painting is rooted in its strict limitation on time. Often painted on location within a three hour time limit.

• Light and Atmosphere: Sauvage Painting imbues paintings with a sense of immediacy and authenticity, reflecting the people, changing light and colors of the environment.

• Spontaneity and Freshness: Sauvage Painting encourages spontaneity and rapid decision-making in response to the dynamic elements of time and place. This results in lively brushwork and a freshness in compositions that can be challenging to replicate in a studio setting.

• Challenges and Adaptability: Sauvage Painting presents challenges such as changing weather conditions, shifting light, and environmental noises, which can be adapted to and incorporated into the work. These challenges often foster creativity and innovation in technique.

• Capture of Moment and Atmosphere: Sauvage painting excels in capturing the essence and mood of a specific moment in time. I strive to convey the atmospheric qualities of time and the transient nature of paint, creating artworks that evoke a sense of place and time.

• Community and Interaction: Sauvage painting opens up camaraderie and interaction with spectators and fellow artists. This sense of community adds a social dimension to the creative process, enriching the overall experience.

Sauvage watercolor painting offers a unique opportunity to capture the essence of a watch with immediacy and authenticity.
