Jean-Paul Mousseau’s paintings feel like they’re still drying. The artist spent years as a window washer in Montreal, and you can see the light in his watercolors, it’s the kind that bounces off glass and makes quick, bright marks. He’d often leave wet brushes on a windowsill and work around them, letting the paint wander where it wanted.

Tap Eventail brisé and watch how a single broken shape spills into colors you didn’t expect; that’s his trick, tiny accidents make the whole picture breathe.
