Artist of the Parisian life of the Belle Epoque, Houbron is often illustrated with a particular technique: he sticks a paper on a canvas then he puts a layer of preparation (white color) then works sometimes in pencil, sometimes in ink, sometimes in gouache, sometimes with water paint. In the catalogs of the Salons, we often find the denomination "water-based painting" for the technique.
