​Jocelyn Breton…
I studied fine arts in London taught art classes in schools and ran art workshops in the past.  I'm now living in Normandy I have an art studio. In my paintings or drawings I develop my ideas from 2 aspects  : an adaptation from nature or places. I try to transmit a message, or an idea often about concerns which are important to me like social, ecological or historical or I simply use landscapes and my surrounding to convey an emotion skills, techniques and of course colours to obtain a result I feel happy with.

​Jean François Peslot works on three axes: lights, colours and materials.  He likes to differentiate materials in order to obtain the chosen colour.  By using different materials this gives various effects, the paint is illusion..  He says " Put colour in your head to make life dancing!"
