Name: Alexandre Moreau
Bio: French
pastellist Alexandre
Moreau was born in 1984. He spent his school years drawing on his desk and on
the blank margins of his school books. Once he finished school, he tried
drawing nature with pencil and watercolour, but felt he did not have the
technique. However, after visiting the pastel exhibition in
Saint-Florent-le-Vieil in 2009 he tunred his attention to pastel, when he saw
the possibilities of the medium for rendering landscape and light. He also
liked the pastels for their ability to draw and paint simultaneously. A course
with Patrice Bourdin in 2010 to learn the basic of the medium was followed by a
session with master pastellist and landscape artist Peter Thomas in 2012. Like
Peter, Alexandre works primarily en plein air, with studio sessions reserved
for finishing. Alexandre wasted no time in exhibiting his work, and has already
won prizes, including Mormaison (above) that won the 1st prize for natural heritage
in Rocheserviere.
