a sketchbook spread with a yellow sky, wild foliage and horse silhouettes

i saw horses in the fog while hiking in the pyrenees, and it was kinda mesmerising. i painted this spread the next day, sitting by the fireplace, and i still really like it.

An illustration of a tiger kneeling among large dark green leaves and oranges on a pink background

An illustration of a all black rabbit running through round green leaves and pink flowers on a yellow background

An illustration of a golden leopard kneeling among round green leaves on a dark emerald background

I have an ongoing set of work that I am calling the "long canvas animal series". These are four of my personal favorites from it: Pale Antelope, Leopard, Tiger, and Black Rabbit

What animal should I draw next?

A digital drawing of a page filled with little random items scattered around: a cat in a coat and slippers, a duck wearing a party hat, lots of flowers, a little house, a ladybug, a cup of steaming coffee, a snail, a bird and mushrooms.

Good bird!

haha! art is everywheeeeere

the best kind of stew!

beans i got at the farmers market, with beautiful pink and purple colours. some carrots add orange to the whole palette, making it look like the landscape i painted above

i was apparently extra inspired by these beans

a landscape painting with a yellow sky, pink mountains and a lake.

c’est vrai, mais c’est une idée ! je pense que je vais essayer ça, c’est ce qui me paraît le plus simple et réalisable pour le moment ! merci :)

definitely better yes! going to look into that!! thank you

i'm having so much fun with acrylic gouache but i’m considering going back to plain gouache for environmental friendly reasons. do you have any efficient tip for cleaning and disposing acrylic paint water in an eco friendly way?

a laptop and a phone with a painting of the Matterhorn at sunrise as their wallpaper

i’ve just shared this month’s exclusive wallpaper on patreon :)

it’s a painting of the Matterhorn, a mountain i’m lucky enough to live close to. it’s as majestic in real life as in the many pictures you’ve probably seen!

i slept there two autumns ago, and it’s still such a vivid memory. i’m glad it’s living in my sketchbook now.
