La Sentimentale

From the series, ‘Les Femmes de ce Temps’, (Women of the times).

The pochoir technique was originally employed
for  colouring  woodblock prints in the C15th.  Pochoir,
used layers of colour to build up the design. As many as thirty stages
using  gouache  paints could be employed in one design.
Styles were influenced by art movements such as Cubism, Fauvism and the Russian
Ballet.
