One of the most striking mysteries there is the megaliths rows in Carnac (although significations are now admitted from scientific investigations). Rows of standing stones extend over 1 km and were built from the fifth to the second millennium before Christ... http://excorbac.gfxartist.com/artworks/169376 Excorbac Painting / Figure I've had the idea of this watercolour painting for a long time, but never dared to do it... until now! I knew I would have to deal with it without reference. I don't feel very good without any. I am not happy with her left hand, the sky is "out of order" and I think... http://excorbac.gfxartist.com/artworks/168974 Excorbac Painting / Figure This is a commissioned work : my best (male) friend asked to do a watercolours portrait of his 2 years-old daughter Clara. So here it is, using a photo I shot as reference. I really like her expression here and I decided to give a title to this work from what I am feeling of it. This work... http://excorbac.gfxartist.com/artworks/168555 Excorbac Painting / Figure This is my more personal piece to be published to date. I am the guy painted here both in positive and negative ways. I got this idea reflecting on myself a few weeks ago. We all have to be like that from time to time I suppose : positive and negative, right and wrong, good and evil, happy and... http://excorbac.gfxartist.com/artworks/167638 Excorbac Painting / Nature This painting is inspired by a place of legends. This fountain named Fontaine de Barenton can be found in the legendary Broceliande forest, which is situated east of Ille-et-Vilaine (french departement), in Brittany. The fountain is told to host faeries. When water is spilt on the stone (where... http://excorbac.gfxartist.com/artworks/166579 Excorbac Drawing / Figure This is me and myself, with a b/w picture as reference. Drawn with a quill and Indian ink, partly with a dot technique. This was done within 2h30. http://excorbac.gfxartist.com/artworks/166005 Excorbac Painting / Architecture Another view from Felletin, Creuse, France, where I live. Actually this roof is that of my neighbour's house. I don't really like the man and his family, because they are spying everyone around, but never mind. It's painted from a picture I shot the 13th of March, 2005. As you... http://excorbac.gfxartist.com/artworks/165905 Excorbac Painting / Nature These granite rocks are natural, slowly shaped by time and weather. Many of them can be seen in Lozère, the wildest département of France (and also with the lowest population). It is said that granite rocks grow up easier than anything else there. The reference photograph that I shot the day... http://excorbac.gfxartist.com/artworks/161724 Excorbac Painting / Architecture Back to GFX after a long time, here's another contribution of mine. This old beautiful building can be found in Aubusson, Creuse, France. It's actually a cheese store owned by a customer of my bar. He asked for his store to be painted so it's a rather a command than a self-wanted... http://excorbac.gfxartist.com/artworks/161054 Excorbac Painting / Architecture This scene can be viewed at the south end of the little town Felletin, Creuse, France, where I live. This bridge is known as Le Pont Roby. It seems I am obsessed with bridges so I will try to paint others things in the future For once, I didn't forget to count the hours of effective work... http://excorbac.gfxartist.com/artworks/152210 Excorbac Painting / Still life These beer taps can actually be found in the bar I own, as well as the coffee I used to paint this piece This is a little ad I will show in the bar as soon as it is framed. The bar is named "Le Troubadour" (The Troubadour) and I am also a tobacco dealer here in the little... http://excorbac.gfxartist.com/artworks/150744 Excorbac Painting / Nature For the ones who have viewed Le Pont de Senoueix in the photography gallery, you might remember that I 'post-scripted' the description with : "PS: I have planned to make a watercolour artwork using another picture of this bridge. It shall take me ages to do it as usual, so... http://excorbac.gfxartist.com/artworks/150065 Excorbac Photography / Nature This is an old picture shot in late december 1998. I was invited to spend a few days in Brittany along with a few friends by this girl you can see on this pic. She's named Françoise, nicknamed Soize, but we didn't stay quite in touch. During the holiday, we went to this part of the... http://excorbac.gfxartist.com/artworks/149627 Excorbac Photography / Nature This very old bridge that crosses the Taurion river was built during the Gallo-Roman period. It has been consolidated quite recently with modern materials, for it attracts many tourists. There's even a feast in its honor in mid-august every year. It can be found roughly 14 miles from my home... http://excorbac.gfxartist.com/artworks/149063 Excorbac Painting / Figure "Once upon a time, in Wales, a sheep farmer surprised two imps stealing wool from his stock. While they were running out to escape, the farmer said "Why not asking me? I would have give you more!". Imps stopped running at the door, looked at each other, then... http://excorbac.gfxartist.com/artworks/148646
