She had always been moved and intrigued by the medium's organic and lively nature, after her classes with Nita her style settled to a very loose and airy adaptation that allows pigment to move with water, mixing in both controlled and unpredictable ways.
“People enjoy looking at watercolor because it makes them feel both relaxed and uplifted.”
“Moving the water and pigment in different ways, using color and values and the medium’s organic and lively nature through different washes the viewer will each time discover new areas and feel uplifted and relaxed.”
Poussot's watercolors combine a masterful talent of contrasting techniques. Her works glow with light and have a combination of soft movement and striking composition. She will tell you that she seeks to convey the absolute and miraculous beauty found in the simplest of creations.
