Wet on wet
Kids love to paint, it is well known! There is a technique both beautiful and fun: watercolor on wet paper practiced in Waldorf Steiner schools. Created by my 4 years old boy. That’s it? I gave you envy? So here’s the tutorial to get started and succeed this technique. Enjoy! Here is the list of equipment you will need. – Tray with water (or bath, washbasin) – Special foil watercolor (I do not think the other sheet can withstand being soaked at this point without tearing …) – Special brush watercolor (or very very soft brush, which makes no marks.) – Painting at Stockmar (no escape!) – Buckets or…

Curious to see what happened with the film sent early challenge? Among moults photos of children, here are some pictures taken last year (oh yes, I had long ignored this film!) It was my first test with the “beast.” And my little toy has to delight me: I love the colors and moods he creates. It’s not clear. This is not bright. For cons, I feel the wave of mystery undergrowth: I feel the adventure of printing with this wooden bridge between trees: I feel summer : And my little favorite. This time I caught the bee … but now, I did not have the proper settings (note to myself…

Bonus day – 30 days challenge
That’s the bonus text. The one I wrote for the end of the challenge and to which I have given (a call from my intuition, without any other reasoning …) Follow his own advice … Talking is good, still have to apply its own moments of wisdom (I have not often, huh … what had until then this is the harvest of a lifetime lol). So all this time, yes, I pushed the door of my little studio. Yes I applied a color, or so little brushstroke as that day I did not feel anything coming. Yes, I sought inspiration. Yes I meditated to give space to ideas. And the…

END? – 30 days challenge D#30
Yesterday I wrote a small text to close this challenge. Then, when the issue … I do not know … I did not want. I wanted another text to finish this challenge. The text of yesterday, it will be … a bonus! Finally, I had finally want to re-talk about our power. I have already mentioned that the conscious choice of EACH thing (whether this brand of yogurt, or choose to go to work today because I like getting paid, still choose to live with this person precisely because our relationship gives us a lot …) was a form of power. But there are other … as awareness of…

Middle is the hardest – 30 days challenge D#29
Small family day yesterday, I could not go on the internet the day. For cons, I had in mind to share with you these few words. Here they are : I know I’m on the tipping point between the amateur and pro. The balance between the two is palpable and I admit I look forward to being on the other side. Because start is not the most difficult. No. It’s the middle. The Tipping Point. Take the brush and sweep the canvas in a first layer is never the hardest time. This is the middle layer. Between the start and finish. The one where everything is decided, that really counts.…

Reclaiming the power – 30 days challenge D#28
Last days of the challenge … I feel like talking much psychology that painting! Looking to become a full-time artist, I discovered little by little that only creativity does not allow advance. We must also enable progress, to start up the engine. And it’s not easy at all. Our comfort is nice. It is also limiting. Add to it a little strong voice, and you get a wonderful mix causing a freeze frame 🙂 When we reach beyond these resistances (by binding very small goal, like writing one line, put a color, see a single brush stroke, …) we understand better and better the person we are. A person full of color…

Dreams – 30 days challenge D#27
Since the beginning of this challenge, I surrender to vivid dreams … and especially in the note. The data appears in particular: the naked update. Often I find myself in a situation where I reveal myself to an audience while I thought I was in an intimate place. For example, I go to the bathroom and I realize they are all wood and they let in too much visibility since I see fully the street. Besides, at that moment pass along this street, people I know. I’ll be seen, oops! Or I’m in a store and there is no changing room … I have to undress and test horrible clothes…

Wild – 30 days challenge D#26
When the wild appears in our life, it appears everywhere … Even in the kitchen! Last Saturday, I was following a one-day course to Jardin Gourmand, Lalaye (my husband thank you for this gift). I learned to prepare tasty little dishes of essential oils and wild herbs. Ground ivy, helichrysum, nasturtium leaves, roses, watercress, evening primrose. What thrill my soul, giving me many ideas and feed the wild woman each! tofu cream and nasturtium leaves … Cake with seeds and mandarin essential oil … lentil puree with essential oil Helichrysum

Resist – 30 days challenge D#25
Let’s talk about resistance today Not this one! The resistance is this enemy in our head. She always gives us a lot of reasons: we are not yet ready, still not good enough, we do not have THE good idea … If we can not ignore that voice, we will never start anything. The difference between an amateur artist and a professional artist is the lover believes he will, first, eliminate fears it before starting. The pro, he actually advance, knowing that his fears never disappear. It starts before they feel ready. He knows he will always have stage fright before going on stage (even after decades in representation.)…
