Reviews
A course by Roxane Campoy
Roxane Campoy's heart belongs to illustration and animation in equal measure. Based in Lille, the prolific illustrator and director has already worked on a UNESCO campaign and collaborated with France Télévision and Maison Bonami.
Her work is inspired by Japanese imagery and seeks harmony between shapes, compositions, and colors. Painting with gouache is a meditative experience that allows Roxane to convey a sense of being truly alive and present.
