I've been juggling with ideas for a whileI have two new offers in the store for you. You can now get gift cards redeemable on anything in the store. Classes and original art.
Something to add to your wish list for your next birthday, maybe? Many of my recent creations will be added soon as well. My second new offering came from a need to connect deeper with my followers. Sharing what I know and inspiring people is one of the most rewarding things. I am now offering one-on-one sessions in 1, 2 or 3 hours format. Either via webcam, but if you are local, in-person is also possible. A session can either be in English or French. There is a drop-down pre-selection, but I will be happy to discuss it before an appointment if you want to learn something else. Whether you need help with a specific thing, wish to talk about mediums, paint under my guidance, I invite you to connect with me and see the possibilities. Small groups are also possible. Simply contact me for availability and planning your creative event. clic on picture to learn more.

Many years ago, I bought a set of watercolours on a friend's recommendation. I love it; the pigmentation was rich and deep. I used the set a lot before discovering Daniel Smith watercolour, and it became my new favourite child. Still, I would come back to it and remember how good the sets are from time to time. My only problem was the limited number of colours and that I didn't remember the brand name. You see, I ordered it from overseas, it was not a local brand, and the packaging had no indication whatsoever! Poor marketing strategy for sure. Earlier this year, I stumbled upon a set called White nights that stated that they were previously called St-Petersburg, and I was like: That's it! Finally, find it. Let's see if they have more colours than the basic 36 set I already had. I was happy to find out that yes! If you ask me, it's still poorly branded, but I got the set of 6 newest colours (pastel) and the set of 9 colours of 2019. They did not disappoint! I own a few pastel watercolours, of none have the vibrancy these have! The bright colours are as yummy. The caput mortuum is super rich. I can highly recommend them. The complete set will last you forever. If you are looking for a professional quality foundation set of watercolours, I saw the original St-Petersbourg 36 colours set on amazon for less than CAD 40 a still. I paid around $75. to see them in action, here is a timelapse of a painting I did with the new colours + 2 PWC light flesh colours and gouache for the background. Enjoy! See how rich those pigments are.In no particular order. Why 54? I was aiming for 100, but my memory is failing me.
Every significant change in life comes with its share of self-doubt. The best way I know how to evacuate them is to create art pieces and let them go. The human brain is wired to see changes as danger; our natural instinct is to fight or flight. Persisting in action that will ultimately alleviate our life quality is not an easy thing. Lately, I feel like I have to deal with a lot of thunder inside my head. I'm fighting with myself not to sabotage all of my efforts.
This painting was created with that feeling in mind. While I'm fighting the thunder, I choose to wrap myself with warmth and stay focused on the goal. Like her? You can purchase her here |
