This is a special week in my art residency: Juliette Aristides is coming to the Village for a 5 days artistic retreat, the Inner and Outer Landscape. Learning from her in person is an incredible opportunity, and my takeaways from this week go beyond art.

My fifth week at New Masters Village is all about preparation. Next week, the Village hosts Juliette Aristides' art retreat, The Inner and Outer Landscape, so the priority is getting everything ready to receive students, run classes and create an unforgettable experience.

On my fourth week at the Village, I am starting to feel the effects of being surrounded by artists, in an environment designed around art. I am getting back to my studies with a new figure drawing class, practicing plein air sketching, portrait, life drawing, and making good progress on my design project.

My third week at New Masters Village marks the real start of my artistic project. It is time to get sketching and composing for my sign designs based on the local fauna and flora, but those first marks are always the most difficult part of my creative process.

This second week of my art residency at New Masters Village brought an unexpected (and very exciting) opportunity... It was filled with botanical watercolor paintings of local plants, and a very American day with lots of donkeys on Saturday at BurroFest!

I just arrived at New Masters Village for a new two months artistic residency, and I am starting a vlog series to share this experience with you: my daily life at the Village, the art I'm making here, and the artistic project that will be my main focus during this residency.

I am very particular with the tools I use, even on the go: they don't only have to be convenient, but also beautiful and enjoyable to use. In this video, I share my curated sketching kit to draw and paint on location with watercolor and gouache.

At the end of May, I helped organize an amazing on location sketching workshop with Glenn Vilppu who came to Lyon. In just 7 days, this workshop I was initially so stressed about made me enjoy sketching again!

This month has been marked by creative shifts, and the return of an old passion. In this video, I share everything I have been working on and creating in April: from failed paintings to starting a botanical watercolor sketchbook, and the unexpected return of fiber crafts.

In this special edition Art Journal, I share everything I did during my artistic residency at New Masters Village. Being invited to stay as the first resident artist was an honour, and the three months I spent in Colorado turned out to be some of the most transformative of my artistic journey.

This video journal covers all the art I have been making since coming back from my art residency at New Masters Village in October: exploring jewelry design, watercolour food illustration, a botanical watercolour workshop, nature journaling, and surface pattern design.

The technique I use for transferring my food illustrations to watercolour paper offers a lot of advantages: preserving your drawing, keeping steps to a minimum, and reusing materials. In this post, I share a step by step tutorial with pictures and explanations.

After almost a year away from YouTube, I want to start sharing videos again. This video is an update, and the reasons why I want to give my channel a slightly different direction from the one it was headed last year.

In February, I finally pursued my interest for botanical art by attending a two days watercolour workshop at Vincent Jeannerot’s atelier. Not only did I learn a lot and get inspired, but I also realised something I needed about my art practice.

Every artist goes through creative ups and downs, and rebuilding your art practice after a break can be a challenge. In this post, I share my experience and some advice on how to approach this process: from understanding and addressing what went wrong to finding what you lost.

I first picked up analog photography in Spring 2024, but it took a year and a half before I finally got my first roll of film developed. In this post I share my experience with analog photography, and what it reminded me about learning any craft.

The media we consume and devices we use daily have a deep impact on our creativity. The type of content algorithms feed us as well as the cognitive patterns our current use of technology encourages are not only affecting the quantity and quality of our creations, but also our very ability to create.

When thinking about my annual goals, I put my art studies aside for the first time in years. In this post, I share why I decided not to focus on art as much for a while. An essay about motivation, creativity, and how to protect and nurture the most important part of your art practice.

This year has been an extremely rich one, and pivotal for me on artistic, professional and personal levels. In this post, I reflect on my initial goals for 2025, all the unexpected developments, the art I created, and share my greatest takeaway from 2025.

After a six months break from YouTube, I find myself wanting to create videos again. But stepping away has been such a deep relief that I can’t come back lightly. In this post, I reflect on the sustainability of content creation, as well as the moral question of sharing on addictive and harmful platforms.
