Isabelle Morin studied Fine Arts at the École des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, her hometown. After exploring conceptual approaches, she returned to the painted sketch — a practice she now pursues during her stays in Switzerland, the Baie de Somme, or the Charente-Maritime.

Watercolour sketching outdoors as an art of presence:
Sketching is too often seen as a preparatory step, an exercise in style, or a simple study. Yet for certain artists like Isabelle, it becomes a complete form of expression — authentic and immediate.
Through pages and loose sheets, Isabelle captures fragments of the world: landscapes, scenes, atmospheres.

Working outdoors means embracing the unpredictable — shifting light, a gust of wind, a passerby’s glance. It means composing with the world as it moves.
Watercolour, fluid and elusive, has its own logic: no correction, no second chance. Each gesture matters. Within this demanding technique, Isabelle finds expressive freedom. She balances water, lets colour flow, captures the transparency of a sky, the depth of a shadow, the vibration of foliage.

Through her work, Isabelle Morin invites us to dwell poetically in the world as it unfolds — with gentleness, mobility, and attention. A language of simplicity, yet never emptiness. Humble, yet noble.
