Let's have a try at Urban sketching

So I have been trying this, lately: Take drawing stuff, a foldable chair, and hit the road, find a spot, sit, sketch. It's fun!

CHATNIC 1 : Inspiration!

Image
 On the second Thursday of the month, I host a "Chatnic" at Carmel Art Community, the lovely art community that Martha and Robert McFarren brought to life in Second Life. (Landmark :  Carmel Art Community in Second life  ) So this first Session of the Chatnic (somehow a chat and a picnic in the park) was held on October 8th, 1 PM SLT to 2 PM SLT (that's 22h-23h CET). I tried to pick an inspiring subject for all kinds of artists, and, truly, what could be more inspiring that INSPIRATION ? So my point with this blog post is to offer you glimpses on what happened then, and maybe interest you in joining us for future sessions? Before diving in, I would like to thank Martha and Robert McFarren owners of the McFarren sim, Kisma K. Stepanich-Reidling, visionary artist, Sᴀᴍᴜᴍ (samiraa.adderstein) artist, Bunny (bunnywet) owner of the Pegasus Fine Arts Gallery, Shiloh Emmons, artist, Anouk Lefavre, artist,  and Paul Horner (paulhorner) troublemaker,  for joining me, and ...

A week end at Sophie Martin's "Galerie du Crabe Bleu" In Saint Lunaire, Brittany

I have a wonderful friend who is a sculptor (she specializes in animals), and we have been friends for almost 30 years. Her world is a world of animals, friends and picnics... She came to visit me 2 weeks ago, and we had a fabulous time together, catching up since last time we met, because we hadn't seen each other in quite some time... Then she mentioned that, having her own gallery, she had her more time to actually work, and she told me her art was definitely one step ahead from what I knew. Of course I asked her for pictures, and when she went back home (she lives in Brittany not far from Saint-Malo) she sent me photos, and I just fell in love. Yes, definitely, her art had gone a step further. So I called her and decided to visit her in Brittany last week end. The weather was windy, it rained a bit (but it's never for long in windy Brittany) and I loved every minute of this visit! First she took me to "foire de la Saint Simon" in Saint Briac where her cerami...

Finally turning my art into something...

Image
Hi all! It's been a while since I published here, because, you know, life happens... A while ago, I took the excellent online course from the excellent Sketchbook Skool, that was called "Illustration Nation". I wasn't sure what I would do with that, but I liked the idea, to be able to learn how to complete a project from the idea to the final product. So I did the Kourse, not really sure what project to bring to life. I chose the Sketchbook Project at first, because I had a deadline on it (which I am totally going to ignore, by the way). But then I had a really hard time keeping drawing or painting, because my project was kinda complicated (rebinding a sketchbook, not using the original paper that wasn't suited to my medium) and so I sort of let it down for now. But I still wanted to achieve something, and have a product, something final that anyone could buy. So allow me a remark, here.  I am really really GRATEFUL to Sketchbook Skool for the zillion a...
