Zinaida Serebriakova made this watercolour, "In the studio Braz.France", in France. It's a scene that captures a moment in time. She uses browns, ochres, and greys, with touches of pinks, reds and greens. It's as if she’s searching for the essence of the scene, not just painting what she sees, but how she feels being there. The loose brushstrokes and transparent washes let the light in, creating a sense of atmosphere and immediacy. Notice how she captures the way the light falls on the artists and models, creating subtle shifts in tone. Look at the figure in the foreground, her white dress with the touches of lilac, it's just gestural marks but so powerful. It’s not about perfection, but about capturing the energy of the moment. Serebriakova's work reminds me of Berthe Morisot, who was also interested in the everyday life and domestic scenes. Both artists used loose, impressionistic brushstrokes to capture the fleeting moments of modern life, revealing artmaking as an ongoing conversation and exchange of ideas. What do you think?
