Simply Draw & Paint it
Hi !
Here I share my thoughts about living a creative life, about how I found more and more fun and joy in making art and looking for creativity by getting rid of my demons like fear, perfectionism, what-might-other-people-think, ugliness (what’s that anyway?), Art with a big A, dogma’s …. Everybody is an artist and everybody is creative!
Please feel free to share your story in the comments in my posts! I read all the comments and I would love to hear from you!

Starting the 3rd confinement sketchbook
Day of confinement 14 is quite a bad day. I'm very restless and don't feel like sketching... OMG ! I was struggling to force myself to make this video ! If I didn't receive so many cheers from you for my videos I think I'd given up.... I was not at all in the mood!...

As a last sketch in this second confinement concertina sketchbook I painted my cat, taking a nap on the radiator under my drawing table I first made a pencil sketch of the main shapes, and then some fine ballpoint lines for the more detailed stuff on the window sill....

Here are two more sketches, from yesterday and today. I try to alternate inside views with outside views. As I miss big dinners with our friends, I wanted to draw a view towards the dining table... the dining table with empty chairs waiting for the friends to come...

For this second sketchbook I try to very more between inside subjects and outside sujects, ans some techniques. I painted a detail of a door, and then my art supplies... Actually when I paint my art supplies it means that I'm tired and out of inspiration... 😉 ...

Helloo! How are you today? Here's a beautifu fresh spring sunshine! I'm very lucky. It makes this confinement less gloomy! I only have a very small piece of a page left to finish this concertina sketchbook, so I have to make something that fits...

👋👋👋these are the houses of my dear neighbours 🌸🌸🌸 Every evening we try to go and clap and make music at the windows and doors to thank the healthcare workers. It's a joy to live in front of a rock guitarist who takes his...
#CREATE Corona sketchbook 5
Today I wanted to make a sketch of my living room, while Camille, my cat, was peacefully sleeping in a corner of the couch. The couch is very red, with white blankets on it to protect it from cat hair and from friends spilling wine and food on it 😉 I drew on the...

Another challenge of being confined at home is trying not to gain too much weight! Usually I bike to the office and move a lot... now I'm just sitting at home, eating, with a gass of wine and chocolate.... So I started fitnessing at home with online videos, and I make...
#CREATE Corona sketchbook 3
Day 3 confined at home.... I didn't know I was so tired!! Now that I'm staying home I feel it.... When we run to work everyday we just keep going and don't dare to slow down: we feel guilty when we slow down and want to work less... Why? Because I've learned that I...
