Recherche













There is a research phase to colouring comics in the Franco-Belgian school : it is called‘recherche d’ambiance’ i.e. finding the right lighting and colour ingredients for a given scene and time of day. Here I have chosen a scene from the Web that shows the coastline of Holland and lifted the colours using Photoshop. The imagine is quite evocative; if one looks closely there is a city at the horizon and windmills to the left.
