Diving into plein-air season - part 1
Let’s start plein-air season! This blogpost is the first of a series of blogposts about plein-air and on-location painting. I’m sharing my experience, tips, challenges, and more :)

Deep dive into the world of watercolors ;) Follow me while I show all of my limited palettes and swatch my different watercolors.
A very long 100-day project
Last year, after discussing with other artists on a Discord server, I decided to try a 100-day project. I was feeling like I was not succeeding in tackling longer / more complex art projects and that I had trouble focusing on improving specific areas of my art. This 100-day project is taking way more than 100-day…

The whys and hows I study for plein-air from the comfort of my art studio :)
Tackling a 52-week challenge
End of 2024, I decided to engage into a 52-week challenge. My plan is to paint with a base of gouache (and some mixed-media on top) a place close to my heart every week for a year. This trip down the memory lane is even better than what I expected, even if it is full of challenges!
Art retrospective of 2024 & Goals for 2025
In these first week of January, I wanted to take the time to reflect on what has happened in 2024, and what are my artistic goals for 2025. To be honest, I had to go back to work on the 2nd, so I’ve had very little time to actually reflect, and this blogpost will probably look more like a brain dump than a very nice and completed reflection… But that’s also the truth of it, so let’s jump right into it!
Clairefontaine watercolor sketchbook - review
Last Christmas (was it already so long ago?), someone who knew I was painting quite a lot and I really like watercolors offered me a Clairefontaine watercolor sketchbook. I already had many ongoing sketchbooks, so I actually started it only end of March, and finished it beginning of July. That’s probaly the fastest I completed a sketchboook so far! I have already done a sketchbook tour on my channel, so you can go check that out if you are interested :)
In this post, I want to give you so more feedback on the sketchbook, so that you know what you are buying if you plan on gettting one for yourself.
