Isabelle Dupuy

A  Zooming  Technique

Isabelle has always admired the way photographers
can isolate and enhance a subject by making the rest of
the photo soften and blurred.


Isabelle developed a new painting technique where she
isolates the most important part of the painting with
texture and sharpness while the rest is soften to
produce a zooming effect as a photographer would do
with his camera.


This unique technique, which Isabelle called "Le
Fondu" creates a very definite tactile quality to her
work.  She deliberately enhance the focus point of her
painting using her palette knife and her brush sculpting
the form of her subject.  In this technique, she goes
beyond a photographer making it a three dimensional
effect.

A  Blending  Technique

Isabelle has been developing a new blending technique
using a spoon.  She has created new series of Water
Reflection and Water Lilies from the scenes of Texas
and Louisiana.  


Isabelle blends the colors of the canvas mixing them as it
goes using acrylic paint.  This technique gives a more
abstract look to her paintings.


This unique technique, which Isabelle called "La
cuillere" creates a very definite tactile quality to her
work.  She deliberately leaves every trace of the spoon
on the canvas sculpting the form of her subject.
