instrument to express the beauty of nature to a
rare degree"

Nicholas Poullis also known as Le Peintre de Pézenas (the Painter of Pézenas) paints watercolours directly from life with a distinct and personal style.
Originally from England, in 2000, he moved near Pézenas, in Southern France, where he has become established.
He holds regular exhibitions and shows a changing selection of his watercolours and drawings at Domaine Saint Hilaire near Montagnac.
He has illustrated a number of books including the award winning The Voyage of the Arctic Tern, published by Walker Books, and co-authored Contemporary Watercolors, published Walter Foster. In 2014 he published "De Saint Guilhem le Desert a Pezenas" which includes over 125 painting in full colour. Click on the tab for more information.
