Last weekend, I attended a woodblock printing work

Last weekend, I attended a woodblock printing workshop at the Artview Gallery with Yvonne Hering.

We followed the Japanese methods that Yvonne has learned during her various experiences in Japan.

It was a first for me... Let's have a look at the creative process!

First, drawing your subject on paper.

Then transfer the designs to the board. One side of the wood board equals one different color. So here, I will have two colors.

Now it's time for carving the board. It's a meticulous process, as I want to obtain very fine lines in the end.

Some tests now to check if the designs work well.

Let's start with the first colors. I want to create a gradient for my background.

The moment of truth! Not too bad.

I flip the board to work on my second color, black.

First, a little test... not too bad.

Let's do it on my background!

I need more colors in the background. Let's try again...

And that’s my final result! Thanks, Yvonne.

Last month, I visited Sydney and took the opportunity to go to the botanical garden @botanicsydney to see the "Florilegium: Rainforest Species at Risk" exhibition.

We start with beautiful scientific ink illustrations. It makes me want to give it a try.

Then, here are some works from the Florilegium launched by @botanicalartsocietyofaustralia.

By the way, it's still possible to participate if you're interested.

And we end with the best part!
Works by british artist Margaret Flockton, who worked for the herbarium at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney in 1901.

Welcome in the Royal Botanic Gardens of Melbourne!

Welcome in the Royal Botanic Gardens of Melbourne!

This walk was really inspiring. Whenever I arrive in a new country, I always try to visit the botanical gardens.

It's fascinating to discover new flowers and plants, and sometimes seeing them in real life for the first time.

I leave with lots of ideas for new illustrations. Choosing will be tough!

🇦🇺🦘Starting a new adventure in Australia

🇦🇺🦘Starting a new adventure in Australia for the upcoming months!
I'm super excited to begin living here—it's been one of my dreams.

The adventure kicks off in Melbourne for a few days, then off to Tasmania! Can't wait to explore the wildlife and plants on this island and share my future study subjects with you.

It's been several years since I embraced a nomadic life, a lifestyle that followed a burnout in 2016. I love the freedom and flexibility this wanderlust provides. It completely aligns with my desire for simplicity and minimalism.

I'm always trying to find a balance to keep drawing while regularly changing my living locations. I haven't quite cracked it yet! Maybe in 2024?

How about you? How do you manage your creative moments?

Une nouvelle aventure commence en Australie pour les mois à venir. Je suis super contente d'être ici, c'était l'un de mes rêves.

Je commence mon périple à Melbourne pendant quelques jours, puis je m'en vais vers la Tasmanie !
J'ai hâte de découvrir la faune et la flore de cette île et de partager avec vous mes futurs projets d'études.

Cela fait déjà plusieurs années que j'ai adopté un mode de vie nomade, après un burn-out en 2016. J'aime énormément la liberté et la flexibilité que m'offre ce style de vie. C'est parfaitement aligné mon envie de simplicité et de minimalisme.

Je cherche toujours à trouver un équilibre pour continuer à dessiner tout en changeant régulièrement d'endroits où vivre. Je n'ai pas encore réussi ! Peut-être en 2024 ?

Et vous, comment trouvez-vous votre inspiration et gérez-vous vos moments de création ?
