En pleine réflexion créative pour mon calendrier 2024 🤔✍🏻. Je vous emmène avec moi dans mes explorations à l’aquarelle, et vous fait part de mes doutes, de mes interrogations à son sujet. Comme toujours je vous montre un max de mon quotidien avec dans ce vlog aussi beaucoup de travail graphique et de préparation de mes maquettes avant l’envoi chez mon imprimeur.
Et en exclusivité ! à la fin de ce vlog, je vous dévoile un projet en cours qui devrait vous faire plaisir en 2024 😊
On bientôt 20 000 ici ! Je trouve ça fou 🤗 merci pour vos gentils mots et votre présence au quotidien. Mille bisous💜 Blanche
Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well
What day is it today? Thursday, October 12th
I'm with Thelma, come here my cutie
What are you doing? Are you coming in or out?
I came to see you with my little ball of hair
You're not comfortable right?
You don't like to be held in the arms like a baby
Dali loves to be held in the arms like a baby
But you don't like that
It's not your thing, right?
Yeah, like that it's good?
Ok, go ahead, go explore a little
I posted my vlog the day before yesterday
So Wednesday the 10th
It's a vlog that goes through the whole month of September
So I'm going to try to do a little less this time
Because letting a whole month go without a vlog
I think it's too long
And these are formats that you like
So I'm going to try to do a little more
Because what happens is that
The more rush I have, the more time it takes me to edit
So in the end, by doing a little more regularly
I can also save time
Well, I don't know
Let's move on to my calendar
Which is going pretty well
It's a little bit where I am
I received two packages, so we're going to open them together
So there's one, it's still a Pulse
And there's another one
It says how many brushes are on it
I don't know if you see it, but you can guess what it could be
Oh, there's an old hair
It's a little disgusting
It's all the charm of vintage
As long as I don't find hair in my Pulse
In any case, it's well packed
Oh no!
Why are there little things?
What is this thing?
Oh well, that's nice
I'm going to stop complaining
Black tea, delicious vanilla
Earl grey, organic
Black tea, vanilla, I like everything about vanilla
I think I'm going to like it
Milk, golden, organic spices, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger
I'm less a fan of these three
I don't know, we'll see
We'll see, I'll put it there
I'm bored with that
I don't like these things
Maybe it's biodegradable
It must be corn
It smells like corn
It smells like popcorn
I'm not going to eat them
It must be biodegradable
But what bothers me is that it's going to get everywhere
And I'm going to run after
At best, it's going to amuse the cats
I feel like it's going to be nice
Push, push, push
So that's not for me
I hope she won't watch my vlog
By then
I'm going to make sure she doesn't leave
By then, or maybe the day after
So she won't know
Because it's not for me, it's for my cousin
It's her birthday soon
And she loves the movie
Pride and Prejudice
She's super excited
I'm happy
So I got her the Pulse
It's a Pulse 1000 pieces
I hope she likes it
She loves flowers
We have a lot in common
Including this movie
I know it's one of her favorite movies
So I think she'll like it
Push, push, push
Let's go
Watercolor and brushes
There are things I ordered
And they told me they added something
To the box
I'm going to try to keep
The box in good condition
Because sometimes I like to reuse them
What is it?
A palette
Aquarellepinceaux.com
It's beautiful
I think I'm going to use it for gouache
That's the surprise
It's in a nice box
It looks like a brush
I don't know
What's special about it?
Synthetic squirrel
It's synthetic hair
1477 Magneto
That's the surprise
I ordered this
Latin Toretto
Synthetico
732
It's a reference
My colleague Jenny told me
I took a size 10
A size 8 and a size 3
I'm going to paint with it
Then I took 2 notebooks
A big Moleskine
Watercolor notebook
200g per square meter
I love to paint in notebooks
So I took a big one
And this one
It's a bit more expensive
Signature series by Etcher
Etcher Lab
The perfect sketchbook
It's a watercolor paper
It looks like it's mixed media
But it's specialized for watercolor
My colleague Jenny told me
It was really good
I'm going to test it
This afternoon
Moumoute with Moumoute
I keep it
And I put it
In my closet
It's Friday the 13th
A day
An easy date
With me
In my next watercolor
I still have a lot to do
For the calendar
I did my check
In my bullet journal
I still have to do
February, March, June, July, November
I can't wait to finish
I'm starting to turn around the pot
I'm going to show you
What I did
I wanted to show you a little story
It will be the illustration
Of the month of December
A winter garden
I continue on the theme of gardens
I did a lot of things
In my notebook
You already saw them
In my last creative post
I think I'm going to stay on gardens
We stay in winter
This is my January
I marked
A little barrier with a field
Very icy
We warm up a little
We are in August
You may have seen me painting
I wonder
What I would like
Is to be able to do both
An illustration
Of the garden
And little things
Of the month
I have time to do it
Here too
It's the month of October
It's very long to do
If I do another page
I left space
To do little things
But I'm going to lose a lot of time
I have to move on
There are things I'm going to recycle
It's too white
This visual
I'm going to reuse
I did this one
For the month of October
Nothing
A lot of flowers
I confess
After this and this
I'm going to have to
Add some flowers
Because in February we start to see
Little things, seeds
Let's go for the month of February
I confess
There are days when I don't feel like painting
Usually on Friday afternoon
It's a moment I like
But here
I don't feel like it
I don't feel motivated
I think when I'm in it
It's going to be fine
It's Sunday
October 15th
It's very quiet at home
But I have to pacify
My husband and the kids
I'm going to do some shopping
I see them coming
I'm in a hurry
We're going to have a picnic
We're all together
Autumn is settled
It's good, it's not raining
It's not too cold yet
Let's go
We're going to have a quick picnic
Either at the devil's castle
Or at the boat cemetery
It scares the girls
It's October 15th
It's quiet at home
We're going to do a boat cemetery
Or the devil's castle
Which is in our community
They're there
What's going to be
I'll make you some videos
Where is it?
We're going to try to find it
But it has to be beautiful
Mom, look at this
It's not bad
I should have worn boots
It's a tree
They're huge
We're going to settle there
Is that the castle?
Yes
A beautiful castle
It's broken
There are ruins
That's it, I told you
It's ruins
Impressive
Those are beautiful
We should go up
Those are beautiful
Give them
We're going to pick them up
I'm going to clean myself
In this vlog
You're going to realize
How complicated the light is
I'm going to be cut in two
I'm in the shadow
And in the light
I hope you're doing well
It's Monday
My glasses are dirty
It's Monday, October 16th
I wanted to show you
The progress of the calendar
I'm almost at the end
I have 3 months to do
In 4 months
I don't do only new things
I recycle 2 visuals
That already exist
That I recycle in my calendar
Because I realize that
It's going to be short in timing
There are things
You could follow
In some videos
Maybe more in this vlog
But I have to finish
So I can do something else
Because
The time is passing
November is coming
So I have to finish this calendar
Before my release date
That I set
It's the end of November
And I have one month left
So the time to produce all this
To do the post-production
It takes time
There are some visuals
In my research notebook
That I'm going to draw
I started with the theme of gardens
It seemed easy to follow
This visual
I don't know if I'm going to recycle this one
This one is nice
But it's too focused on one flower
I don't know if I'm going to be able to integrate it
And I'm going to recycle this one
It's going to be
I don't know yet
June or July
To be honest
I would like to do a version like this
For all my calendar pages
But I think I won't have time
It's going to be too long
So it's going to be this
A seasonal garden
I did the winter version
This one is for December
A seasonal garden
With cold colors
And lots of bare branches
Very little foliage
This is for December
This one is for October
It can change
But I was careful
To integrate flowers
It's quite subtle
But the idea was to make aster
With dahlia
But it can change
It could be a September
I wrote down February
With little thoughts
Muscadine, yellow, things like that
I did it yesterday
I did it last Friday
This is for May
With mugen
I tried to do a little bit of mugen
But it's very complicated
In a big mass
With little flowers
I was too optimistic
And this is for September
With rue de Béthia
Aster, dahlia
The end of Buenos Aires
I had time to do this page
I wrote down all the time
I went to Action last week
I bought a new headset
For Augustine
Because her headset was so bad
I bought a new headset
To listen to her music
I found this pretty candle
It was in pink and black
I would have preferred to find it in matte
But the color was pretty
It's a little bit grey
But it's a water glass
I put it right here
With my little mirror
I think I never told you
This little mirror
It's from Centracore
Some people told me
Your mirror is funny
It looks like a strawberry cake
For those who followed
The vlogs this summer
My washing lamp
I found it on Leboncoin
For 2€
I bought this part
Because it was a union jack
That was on it
To show you
It's not very big
But it has a pretty color
I like it
I bought it at Action
There were all the Christmas stuff
That was coming
There are 80 leds on it
I don't remember how much it was
It was really cheap
I'm going to install the leds
In my plant
It's going away
I will have to add
Tweezers
This little corner
That I like a lot
It's very representative
Of my inspiration
The gardens
With the autumnal theme
With the flower door
I'm going to post it on Instagram
This one I did last spring
But I'm not going to show you
Because you're going to know
Why soon
This is my little desk
That I made last year
I don't know if it's worth
To show you what I'm doing
You can clearly see the light problem
It's right in front of us
I never have this problem
In summer and spring
Days are getting shorter
The sun is very low
So it's coming
Directly on my window
And on my work table
I lower my venetian doors
We have these stripes
That come on the work plan
I will do my watercolors in the morning
Because I don't have this problem
But in the morning I always have
E-mails to deal with
It's not possible
I don't have the inspiration to paint
It always comes
When my head is empty
And I have bright ideas
I can start painting
If I remove the camera
I would have a number less
I don't think I'm going to film
It's not worth it
It's tuesday
October 17th
I'm tired
Guess why
Someone had an insomnia
It's painful
It's always at this time of the year
More than usual
As soon as I wake up
It doesn't stop
I have a train in my head
I'm on the computer this morning
I'm happy because I'm starting to make
The model of my calendar
It's a clean side
There may not be as many details
It depends on the visuals
There may not be as many details
As in the flowers
I don't know
I'm trying to add a little bit
Little elements
Little illustrations
Like on some double pages
I'm trying to add that
I'm going to do some tests
I'm going to see what it looks like
I have a light that is not too bad
It's really good
It's my last illustration
But I have an appointment
I have to leave in an hour
I almost did everything
Give me a point
I have advanced
I have almost finished
I just have to do the month of July
It's going to be a colorful month
The hardest was the winter
It's always the winter months
As my theme is very often
Around the botanical and floral universe
It becomes a little complicated
But it's the months that I prefer
That I preferred to do
I managed to make a cool atmosphere
Winter atmosphere
Which I think looks like my Brittany
And I hope you too
Your vision of the season
I would like to move on
On my model of the calendar
I'm going to show you
How I do that
I'm going to show you quickly
I have a lot of visuals
I'm cleaning this visual
I'm cleaning this one
On photoshop
I'm going to try to keep a maximum
Of all the little things in transparency
But it's true that's the hardest
On photoshop
It's trying to keep as much as possible
I put the original version here
With my graphic tablet
I'm going to try to find a maximum
To clear the background
I started to do it
With the magic wand
And the magic eraser
It works pretty well
Everyone has his own way
To do that
We all have a very different way
I think
I admit that to find a maximum
Of details
I'm very graphic tablet
It helps me a lot
You see how I can be precise
I enlarge more or less
The size of my eraser
I'm going to have fun
I'm going to remove this big piece
Because I don't need it
Here I'm going to do a blur
To find the vapor effect
Of the watercolor
But all this is white paper
And I don't need it
Without the background
And once it's done
I have my model file
It's the calendar of last year
I'm going to be able to change
All of this
The background, the visual
And the back of the bookshelf
Am I going to do the same thing?
I don't know
I think I'm going to stay on the same format
I think we're going to stop
Because for me it's a big budget
In the calendar edition
It's a big budget
I think I'm going to remove it
I don't know if you do it a lot
By the way, I would like you to give me
The info in the comments
If you have the calendar
And if it was useful
To have the pages detachable
Did you detach them?
Here I have my version
With a visual I already had
Of the garden
With the little hole
To attach it to the wall
And it's not the month of October
It's the month of June
I'm going to change my typography
I'm going to try to find something else
That I liked a lot last year
We're going to try to see
Maybe something more romantic
Like this
We're on an inspiration of an English garden
So I'm thinking
Why not a little pot
I'm going to zoom out
Would I add some here?
All around
With these little decor
Like I have here
I have a lot to do
And I have all this to clean
I think it would be cute
To have the little pot of jam
We're going to do it
We're going to take it out
I already told you
In other vlogs
I don't touch my images
I just removed the background
I'm going to put my little pot of jam
I'm going to work a little
The color and the levels
I opened the level window
And I'm going to try
To find the original color
That I have on my calendar
I'm going to try to find
These colors
That disappeared with the scan
No
Ok
And since we're
On paper printing
I have to remember
To switch to CMJN
Because we're on screen color
And it's not going to work
If I give this to my printer
Oh, I finished
My concentration time
I'm going to put 4
It's much closer
To my original
I know it's not going to be exactly this
But I'm going to try to integrate it
I did that
In my first calendar
I'm going to try to mix both
We're going to try to mix
Maybe one or two illustrations
Next to it
I think it's going to be good
One or two will be enough
Because if I put too much
It's going to be too complicated
Thank you for your...
Anyway, don't hesitate
Sorry, I need to talk to you
I'm moving too much
So don't hesitate to tell me
I'm going to zoom out
Don't hesitate to tell me
In the comments
If the detachable version
Was useful
If it brought you something
If not, I don't care
I think the decision is made
At 70%
It was really nice
I keep the same format
And I keep the same paper
Maybe the paper is going to change
It's going to be the same
But the colors are going to be more beautiful
Because I changed the paper for my postcards
And I think we're going to move on
The result is much more beautiful
I had another question to ask you
Which is important
Wouldn't we do a pre-sale system?
I know that my colleague Caro
Did that this year
We did it together this summer
When she came to Brittany
We talked about it
It allows me to be in the quantity
Of ordered calendars
Because from one year to the next
I don't know
Because the first year was good
The second year, last year
I didn't do enough
And I was afraid to relaunch
A lot of prints
And to have calendars on my arms
I'm still a bit hesitant
But I would be interested
Knowing that it would be done soon
For an arrival of the calendar
At the end of November
When I would launch the Christmas part
With the return of the cards
I'm waiting for your feedback
Let's go
I finished my appointments
I sent the e-mails
I answered to e-mails
What was left for me to do?
I ate
I like to do this
It's to take a break
Between lunch and dinner
Otherwise I don't have time to eat
I go back to the studio
I take a break
I put my packages
Because I have some orders that arrived yesterday
It was Wednesday and I didn't work
Let's go for the orders
Spiders
It's a fake
It's not a real one
Let's go for the orders
This weekend
It's quite calm
I think it's the calm before the storm
Because it's always like that
As soon as Christmas arrives
It's quite calm
And as I'm starting to communicate
About the things that will be released
Not the calendar
It will be the main
And only novelty
For the Christmas sale
For the end of the year novelties
It's a bit more calm
There are still some sales
In the weekend
I will quickly take care of it
So I can also
Go to the post office
And I have to go to a parcel relay
To put vintage packages
Because I did vintage this weekend
I brought some boxes
I'm out of breath
As I'm going to the post office
To put the packages
I'm going to prepare some vintage packages
I launched some vintage ads this weekend
Because I'm starting to sort
In my closets
We're going to start some work in the house
This winter
It will start in February
I need to sort in the closets
In the storage
Because it will concern our room
I found some things
That are here for years
And I don't use them
This handbag
It's a 24h Gerard Darel
That I liked a lot
It's my first handbag
That I bought when I was a student
In an art school
And especially in a textile design school
More oriented fashion
So I was a bit more
Handbag
And I bought some beautiful handbags
But I don't use them anymore
So I thought that this one
The 24h one
It's for sure
Today I don't want to wear this kind of handbags
Maybe in a few years
I don't want big handbags
It will make someone else happy
So I put it on Vinted
It's really nice
And mine
I bought it in 2008
It's perfect
It's in a great condition
It's a bit stained
But I sanded it
So goodbye
24h Gerard Darel
And I also sold
A steamer
That I bought a few weeks ago
But I don't use it
It doesn't suit me
I don't like the way it covers my hair
And I sold it
At half price
Because I don't want to have
Things like this at home
It's a bit ridiculous
This vlog here
It's friday
October 27th
It's time to end this vlog
Because it's already 3 weeks
Of content and I'm already 45 minutes
I think it's a lot
I told myself at the beginning of the vlog
That I would try to make vlogs
A bit shorter
But I can't
Maybe I will do better in 2024
I have something in my eye
Because I have projects
That will end
I will have more time
My goal would be to keep
As much time as possible
For the production of new collections
And the online content here on Youtube
Because it's something that I like a lot
To make Youtube videos
I noticed something not long ago
We are almost 20.000 subscribers
You are 20.000 subscribers on this Youtube channel
And I think it's incredible
To imagine that so many people
Follow this channel
Thank you so much
To follow my daily life
As a watercolor artist here in Brittany
I try to go out of the studio from time to time
But it's true that I spend a lot of time here
To work
Thank you for all of this
I will keep you updated for the calendar 2024
For the pre-sale
It won't come out right now
Because I don't have the money yet
But it's sent to my printer since yesterday
And I think that
At the beginning of next week
I will have the calendar in real
Under my eyes
I will be able to take a picture
And validate it
And launch the pre-sale
I'm happy because it was a marathon
It took me a lot of time
There are a lot of new illustrations
So I'm happy
I hope you will like it
I'm happy with the result
I managed to do a mix of both
A lot of little decorations
Around the calendar
With the numbers and the days of the year
I hope you will like it
I really like it
And I can't wait to hang it on the wall
And I can't wait to share it
And send it to you
What else did I have to tell you?
I wrote it down because otherwise I forget everything
Yes
You came to try to
Pull my nose
Since the last vlog
What is the next project you will work on?
Right after
I'm going to write a third book
Because the second one is in progress
That you will soon be able to have
By the way
But it won't be before Christmas
It will be after Christmas
And I'm starting a third book
Because I didn't have enough
I thought it was missing a little
It's not true at all
I admit that it's a hell of a marathon
But I'm very happy to write this third book
It's a subject that you will like a lot
And I don't tell you right away
I keep you a little bit of suspense
But know that there will be a third book
Including two books in 2024
It's crazy, it's crazy, it's crazy
What else did I have to tell you?
It's already really boring
Anyway, thank you for being here
You are incredible
You send me a lot of nice little messages
And it makes me so happy
I told you a next video
It would be watercolor
In my daily life
I also have my mom's life
Who asks me a lot of time
And right now it's school holidays
So I'm trying to enjoy my days
So thank you for being there
Thank you to all those who participated
In the watercolor and brushes contest
I send you big kisses
Take care of yourself
And I'll see you very soon
