This is the official site of the Belgian painter Roger Gobron (1899-1985). For nearly 70 years, Gobron painted almost exclusively with watercolour. At first, he used watercolour in a classical way, but his art, style and technique changed radically when he came in contact with the Flemish expressionists. Gobron is most probably the only painter in the world who experimented in this way, for his entire life, with the medium. He thus altered the aspect of watercolour, giving it the dimension, durability and value of oil painting.
