It is not the first time that we have written about Nicholas Jolly's works on the site Culturology. RF, we have already talked about a series of drawings "Fingerprints" stylized as fingerprints. Looking at his cityscapes, we can say with confidence that the master is fluent in watercolor painting, because he manages to convey not only the refined charm of French streets, but also the expanse of wide squares.
In the paintings of Nicholas Jolly, you can see the main attractions of Paris - the buildings of the Sorbonne and the Louvre, as well as Bordeaux (the artist's birthplace) - the Pont de Pierre pontoon bridge. Despite the fact that watercolors do not strive for photographic accuracy in depicting artistic objects, Nicholas Jolly's paintings look realistic, the colors are very skillfully selected.
In the street landscapes painted by Nicholas Jolly, a calm rainy atmosphere reigns, paint drips, blurred silhouettes of people reflected in puddles - all this creates a nostalgic mood. Perhaps such a walk through Paris will be remembered for a long time, because the paintings of Nicholas Jolly have a rather pleasant "aftertaste".
