How do I find information about a signed limited edition print of one of these watercolors by Lucie Bilodeau?
Ms. Bilodeau did the four watercolors above for the company Cadres Columbia Inc. / Columbia Frame Inc. in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The 4 editions of 2975 were signed and numbered by the artist. The editions were released in 1990. If the artist remembers correctly, they were sold in a big chain of department stores for under $50.00 apiece. The limited editions were sold with the frames. Unfortunately, we have no idea what the current value for these limited editions are. The artist created the original watercolors in the studio she had in Montreal, around 1989.

What is the artist's creative process?
The artist creates her artwork exclusively from her own references: the subject in front of her, like for her still lifes and plein air landscapes or from photographs she took herself. She usually has an idea of what she would like to create or she’s inspired from her references. She often creates a study before she creates her paintings. She applies a very thin coat of paint (usually a yellow ochre) on the canvas. She lets it dry for a couple weeks before she draws her line drawing on the canvas. She paints exclusively with Winsor and Newton fine art oil paint. She usually uses a limited palette with titanium white, cadmium yellow light, cadmium red light or permanent alizarin crimson and French ultramarine. She uses different size and kinds of brushes, most of them are natural hog bristle brushes. She also likes the Monarch Filbert Winsor & Newton brushes. She uses "soft brushes" like Loew-Cornell Detail Mop or Isabey Petit Gris for blending. She uses very small round brushes for details and her signature.
Has the artist created instructional books or videos on how to draw and paint?
The artist has not created any instructional books or videos on how to draw and paint. However, she highly recommends the fine art school Mission: Renaissance. It is the school where Ms. Bilodeau did her art training while she was a teenager. The school also has a Home Instruction Series.
