Painting: an estuary under storm clouds in greys and blacks, crossed by a streak of vermilion sun

Come with an idea, leave with your work

Camille Darras, painter and sculptor in Honfleur: landscapes of the estuary, commissioned works and classes in the studio.

The studio

Three ways to come in

  • Black chalk: an old beech with a trunk twisted like a rope, gripping a rock

    The works

    Charcoals, ink washes, prints and canvases: coastal landscapes twisted by the wind.

    The gallery
  • Hands black with charcoal drawing bold lines on a sheet

    A commission

    A landscape that matters to you, a size for your wall: we design it together.

The artist

Drawing the wind

I draw the most tormented side of the Normandy coast: bent trees, crumbling cliffs, the estuary changing with every tide. Almost all in black and grey, and sometimes a single colour, when the landscape demands it.

In the studio, I help everyone carry out their own project, whatever the technique.

What they say

I arrived with a photo of my mother's house. Six Tuesdays later, it was on the wall, in oil.

Martine L. · Thursday student

We commissioned a large charcoal of the bay for our meeting room. Camille came to see the wall before drawing.

My son could never sit still. On Wednesdays, he won't put his clay down.
