Bha Émile Vernon na oileanach aig sgoil Fine Arts ann an Tours far an do choisinn e a’ chiad duais airson tarraing a-steach 1888; an dèidh sin fhuair e taic bho Uilleam Bouguereau agus Auguste Truphème.
An uairsin a-steach 1898 ghabh e pàirt ann an taisbeanadh Tours de Fine Arts agus Decorative Arts agus nas fhaide air adhart air a’ bhliadhna sin, ann an Taisbeanadh Luchd-ealain na Frainge agus a’ taisbeanadh obair hie gu cunbhalach an sin bho 1898 gu 1913; a’ taisbeanadh dhealbhan, cruthan-tìre, seallaidhean às a’ Bhreatainn Bhig, bouquets de bheatha fhathast a pheant e ann an dath-uisge, a bharrachd air figearan boireann, a thàinig gu bhith na speisealachadh nas fhaide air adhart.
Bha Émile air leth math anns na dealbhan aige le solas bog, figearan ionmholta de chlann agus boireannaich òga eireachdail, ris an robh e tric a' ceangal peata mar cat, cù no eun, agus sgeadaich e a dhealbhan le blàth-fhleasg, no bouquets de bhlàthan, fad a bheatha; but he was also a very versatile artist that could paint with rigour and power as in his works the portrait of Madame Vernon and Sous la Lampe (Fon lampa).
