Tiphaine Lamolinerie

I'm Tiphaine, a French watercolor artist and teacher based in Berkeley. I discovered watercolor during my childhood, and after exploring other techniques, I've been fully focused on watercolor. I'm inspired by nature, wildlife, and cityscapes. How inspiring are the rooftops of Paris ! Before arriving in Berkeley, I used to live on the last floor near Montmartre, it was dreamlike.
I love the blend of playing between water and colors, embracing this meditative and spontaneous process of creation. My paintings experiment with the vibration of light thanks to the contrast between white paper and colors. My signature palette is colorful, bright, and contrasted as an invitation for joy and energy. I also give classes & workshops in Berkeley. I love the joy, the relaxation, and the satisfaction people feel during my creative workshops. I'm passionate about this medium and I enjoy transmitting my watercolor enthusiasm during learning classes.
