Hello everyone, welcome to this new Q&A video
2023, a new video because there was already a Q&A video that was done last year
and here we are going to do a version a little more...
we are going to take questions in all directions
a little bit like they came in my box of questions that I sent you on Instagram
or the questions that you also sent me here on YouTube
I tried to collect as many as possible
I couldn't take everything because there were a lot of questions
so I said to myself that this year I was going to do a format
where I was going to try to answer more questions
so it may have gone a little fast sometimes
sometimes I take the time to answer a little more vast questions
but I also selected questions sometimes a little more technical
where I can give answers a little faster
but like that it will allow me to answer as many questions as possible
we will try to do it like that anyway
we will see what it gives, it's a new attempt
we are also here to experiment on YouTube
so I put all your little questions in my little mug
so there are a lot of them
there are some that were also sent on YouTube
so I printed them
I'm going to take them like that, as they come
there are some that were in double
that I already sorted a little bit
but otherwise I put everything back like that
obviously if there are questions that you are not interested in
you skip them
there will be the possibility in this video
at the time of editing I will make sure that
you have the possibility to access each question individually
first question
how is the creation of wedding parties going for 2024?
so that's an activity that I completely stopped
it is indeed something that I was doing at the very beginning of my activity
when I was in 2018, 2019, 2020
I think that from 2020, 2021
I did my last wedding parties
and then I stopped
so I no longer do wedding parties
nor birth by measure
if you want to have my creations in return on your wedding party
you can go to the CottonBurn website
because I have a collaboration with them
for a year and a half, two years now
there are a lot of fairs
there are a lot of fairs with my illustrations
which are available on the CottonBurn website
so do not hesitate to go for a little tour on the site
so hello
did you plan to do workshops on Bordeaux?
so I noted next to all the cities that have been asked
this is a very recurring question
will you come to Toulouse?
will you come to Gironde?
will you come to Nancy?
to Nantes?
to Djerba?
if you ask me
so it would be with great pleasure
obviously
this year I will have to slow down the rhythm of the workshops
because I am on other creative projects
which will take me a lot of time
and I love doing workshops
so there will be some
and I can already give you the next cities
Vannes of course
because you know it's a little bit my fief
this is where I love to give workshops
in the Mecq boutique
at Haute
so we meet there very regularly
so I'm sorry for people who are not in northern Brittany
it's maybe a little less easy to access
but I'm going to Landerneau too very soon
so Landerneau you will tell me it's the same
it's still in Brittany
I have a friend who is very dear to me
my best friend who is called Clementine Manuel
who makes jewelry called Vitamin C
who just opened her boutique in Landerneau
and it's going to be a boutique too
where there will be workshops
and of course I come to do watercolor workshops in her boutique
so very soon there will be a date also in Landerneau
so all the people around Brest
plus northern Brittany
I will be there
so the dates I will give them not right now
not today
but it will come very soon
so don't hesitate to follow
my social networks
my newsletter too
often I give you information a little bit more in advance
in my newsletter
and otherwise for the other cities
there will be Paris
Paris is not bad for me
because it's already easy enough for me to access by train
and for the other cities
I will try to do it
as I did last time
to come to Annecy in one or two other cities
but what is there is that I also have a family life next door
I also have two little girls
I could not do all the cities of France
I could not do a tour of France
it's not possible for me
because I can't actually leave my children like that
for so long
every weekend
so there will be Paris for sure
in the spring
same dates
to come very soon
and certainly
why not Bordeaux
why not Toulouse
I haven't decided yet
maybe it won't be at all
I don't know
I don't like to move forward like that at all
on specific dates
finally here
say I will come for sure
because if it happens it will not be done
so I would like to
as the song says
I will try to do
to please as many people as possible
and I think that already coming to Paris
it will be
try to find some people
on this more central point of France
what would be your advice for a person
who would like to create his or her own creative business
so a tip is
to dig in
that's a term we use
that I like to use
you have to dig in
you have to start
if you made the decision
if in your head it's clear
you go there
you don't ask yourself questions
you go there 100%
after
well
it may be a little more reasonable
to keep a job aside
it's sure at the beginning
especially for business
a little more creative
but you have to go
it's really
it's like for everything
it's the work that pays
and if you have the passion behind
if you have that in addition
that animates you
you won't feel the hours of work
passed
and that's very very very important
so you have to go up the sleeves
here
you have to go
so
how do you proceed
for your research sessions
so I guess
it's my creative research sessions
to find for example
new themes
things like that
so
I
how to say
I'm like right now
I'm in a research session
because I'm on a new theme
I start to share it a little bit
on social networks
because I also like to have your feedback
I move forward little by little
I collect images
I go on
a little bit on Pinterest
I go for a walk
I listen to music
I do a lot of things actually
I go to exhibitions
I read books
it's really
you have to feed your mind
if you want there are things
that come out
if you want there are ideas
that come out of your head
you really have to feed your brain
you have to give it things
because otherwise
it's not going to come out on its own
if you just wait
in front of your white page
for it to come
so before starting
on a new theme
and then on watercolors
I really have a very very big part
of research before
that takes me whole days
whole weeks
and then
it's fluid
and then it happens
I do my paintings
sometimes it goes
sometimes it doesn't
I rework
it's really a part
the research part
to find inspiration
you really have to
not leave it aside
because it's super important
and you have to open your mind
you don't just have to go
on Pinterest
or on social networks
you're not going to do that
you really have to be curious
about everything
can you advise us
on the application
of the mask fluid
with a feather brush
more precision
so the last sentence
I didn't complete
advise on the application
of the mask fluid
yes there is no problem
I will answer that very quickly
already you need a brush
to which you do not hold too much
I use
illivoo by the way
illivoo
I don't have it with me
but I used it yesterday
in any case
I have this little brush
it has to be a little brush
if you want to be more precise
there are some who use
a little brush
with a plastic tip
it's not a brush
but a little tip
in soft plastic
that allows you to apply
with this tip
which has no hair
so there is no hair
that stays stuck
because the problem
of the mask fluid
is that it sticks the hair
so what I do
is that with my little brush
I will show you one
which is about this size
not exactly this one
because this one
I had a lot of problems
with the mask fluid
I soak it in water
with soap
or rather soap
with water
I don't know if you see
it's really my soap
and then I spray water
on my soap
and then I put a lot of water
on my soap
so that it is very moist
and then I spray my brush
on the soap
so that it has
a waterproof aftertaste
and then I dip it
in my mask fluid
and then I spread it
and I start the operation
again like that
several times
and then I clean my brush
well
the brush is still
a little damaged
but all the hairs
do not stay stuck
because I ask you
there is this little
waterproof aftertaste
that's it for the technique
so
according to you
how to improve your drawing
in order to make
watercolor illustrations
it's going to be simple
it's going to be practice
you have to do it
every day
even if you have to
you can't just take
a little notebook
like this one
that I just started
and fill it
without asking questions
you don't ask yourself any questions
you say to yourself
what am I going to paint
a puddle
a little puddle
with perspective
with roundness
with shadows
with a wooden pencil
or a pencil
to give you
a little more risk
I don't know
to throw you
a little more
in something
where you can go back less
and go right away
to the essential
and really
it's going to be hell
hell hell
to work your eye
to look at your subject
because it's important
because sometimes
I see students
they have their nose stuck
or they have their nose stuck
really on the sheet
and you have to look
at your subject
if you don't look
at your subject
if you don't observe it
we have more trouble
to find it on paper
you really have to make
your visual memory work
and then really
do a lot
when I was in art school
we applied
we were made to do
hundreds of sketches
during all the holidays
it was our duty
I'm not telling you
to do 100 sketches
I won't give you homework
but do little challenges
like that
you will see
you will progress very quickly
so
a tip
to fix the price
of these watercolors
when we just start
and that we paint
for the pleasure above all
if it's just
I should have put
my stuff
I should have put
a silent reminder
so if it's just
for the pleasure
it's you
who will define
your price
it's sure that
if you don't do that
professionally
you don't have to
tell yourself
I'm going to do
a schedule
and then
I'm going to calculate
the number of hours
I spend on it
and then
I'm going to sell it
if people
want to do that
who want to professionalize
as an artist
it's the answer
I often have
it's calculating
the work we do
how much it costs per hour
his work schedule
and then
how many hours
we spend on it
then add
of course the charges
that go with it
and all that
after
but here
for a watercolor
just for
passion
pleasure
I couldn't give
a price
it's really
it's going to be the same
how much time
you spent on it
how much time
you spent on it
so really
it's you
who will define
your price
because it will be
your watercolor
you will know
how much time
you spend on it
if you have a
relative or a friend
maybe you can
make a price
a little bit nicer
a little bit softer
I don't know
what was your
decision to leave
your old job
and to start
with your
current job
so the decision
it was
clearly
the transition
of the thirties
I had to go back
because now
it's been 5 years
the calculation
like that
it's good
it was clearly
the transition
of the thirties
I think it's
the transition

I think it's
the transition
of the thirties
I had a lot of projects
like that
in the evening
after work
and I was very tired
because I had a little
a little bit of cabbage
a full-time job
that stressed me out a lot
plus this little
this little escape
which was the watercolour
which made me crazy
so there was that
there was a
a little depression
of the thirties
there was
the fact that
the watercolour
animated me a lot
reanimated me
really gave me
a lot of pleasure
the birth of my daughter
we were also looking
to buy a new house
in Nantes
because we lived in Nantes
it was a little bit complicated
we already had an apartment
that we had bought
but we wanted a bigger one
because we wanted to have
a second child
and the question was
well now that
my watercolour
my little business
aside
it was not yet
a business
but what I do with watercolour
it becomes
a little business
couldn't I
live from it
and in this case
work from home
it leaves me more time
for my family
I have my planning
which is much more
complicated
I have my planning
which is much more
flexible
that's what I thought
at the time
that's what I had in mind
and two
it leaves us
the possibility
to come back to live
in our region
which is Brittany
so close to our family
close to my parents
close to my husband's parents
because he is from the area too
and he
he got easily
mutated in his work
and that's it
after
I was all wrong
about the fact that
my planning
will be more flexible
that I will save
time for me
for my children
because finally
I work
much more
than before
it has nothing to do
no
it's that
I really
there are periods
where I work
all the time
I don't stop
especially now
my daughters are a little older
but
at this time
yes I was frustrated
because I had
I couldn't
face everything
and it was quite complicated
I stop
because otherwise
I won't have time
to answer other questions
but basically
the decline
it was
the rediscovery
of watercolor
that
do it for my daughter
do it for other people
for friends
there was this
creative waterfall
too
that comforted me
because I already had
a creative job
I told myself
I know how to create
I know how to do things
I already have small contracts
under the elbow
waiting for me
so I can go
and then I followed
my intuition
I listen to myself a lot
I wanted to do that
come on Hugo
let's go
come on let's go
I won't do this job
all my life
I don't say that
it will happen like this
for everyone
but to tell my story
here it is
there is still a lot of paper
tell us your story
since your years
post bac
well
is that
it's still a lot of blabla
I said it a little bit
I started watercolor
when I was
a little younger
around 11 years old
I had my first watercolor palette
I did internships
where I was very
bitten by all
the creative hobbies
especially everything
about painting
everything about drawing
I was doing
pastel classes
I was doing
art classes
I was doing
fusion classes
sketch classes
and then very quickly
I turned to
applied baccalaureate
because it was quite obvious
that I was bitten by that
and so applied baccalaureate
if you want
it shapes you
to all the design jobs
so object designer
space designer
interior architect
architect
stylist
pattern creator
furniture creator
there are graphic designers
there is a need
of creative
a little bit everywhere
so it really shapes
a job
and then
I did
a BTS
textile designer
and so
the job
the BTS
which shapes
the job
of stylist
then a license
here
still in the textile industry
and well
on the side of Nantes
in fact
there is a creative pool
in the textile
which is quite dynamic
still
and a lot
in children's clothing
after
I found myself
here
in this brand
for children
which kept me
for a little while
next question
how much time
do you let dry
your godets
once filled
with tubes?
well
it varies a little bit
a full night
here
it goes faster
put your color
in your godet
I saw that
some people
used a little pick
or a toothpick
to spread
inside the godet
to spread the paint
in the godet
and you let it
for a full night
after
there are some
which are more viscous
which will keep
this viscosity
but otherwise
I think
how did you get famous?
can you make a living
from your work?
this question
came up a lot
can you make a living
from your work?
we will start
with the first one
how did you get famous
by social media
by instagram
a lot by instagram
as I said
my account
is from 2017
so
it dates
a little bit
now
because we are in 2023
and it grew
as time went by
now
it's not
the same algorithms
it's not the same
ways of sharing
now
I think sharing
your work
to have an internet site
to make a newsletter
to try to have
a community
that follows your work
it's really good
I think
for all creative jobs
whether it's photographer
whether it's
even the cooks
they share a lot
I think
a little bit
all the jobs like that
where there is creation
social networks are great
for that
because we really have
a beautiful showcase
and finally
exhibitions for example
I do very little
it's really
social networks
that made it work
and I love it
digital tools
I always loved it
so
it was quite obvious
to get started
in there
to share
my work
we continue
can you manage
to live
and get a job
at least
in creative entrepreneurship
so that's good
I think that's why
I put them
one after the other
it's can you manage
to live from your work
can you get
at least a job
so
the answer is yes
I manage to get
a salary
even more than
a job
now
I'm pretty happy
about that
because it wasn't
the case
right away
I tell you
it's been
five years now
that I started
the blue water
at the beginning
no
at the beginning
not at all
at the beginning
it wasn't the case
so no
at the beginning
it wasn't that
it's really
two years
three years
of work
that made
that now
I manage
to get my salary
so it works
you have to say
like I said
you have to dig in
you really have to
dig in
you have to want
if we wait
for people to work
instead of us
or if we let ourselves
go
we give up
too fast
so at the beginning
yes it's true
it's not easy
but you have to have confidence
you have to keep confidence
and then at some point
work force
it works
I answered the question
so
next question
do you manage
to get out
Winsor & Newton colors
to want
to explore
other palettes
to do other things
to have other colors
than Winsor & Newton
the answer is no
you will find me a little bit
stuck
a little bit
not very flex
you will maybe say
that I'm not very flex
on the subject
so it's not because
I work with them
because in all transparency
you know
I work with Winsor & Newton
it's that
I love Winsor & Newton pigments
it's what I tell them too
when we started
to work together
for me
it's very easy
actually
to work with them
and I don't force myself
at all
to put their pigments
and their colors
in front
and really
their material
because it's good material
there are colors
that I can't find
in other brands
quite simply
and then
I have that
soft side
that is
when I like
a brush
or colors
I have a hard time
to go to
I have a hard time
to choose other colors
so I try
there are other
there are brands
however
that have colors
that I can't find
in Winsor & Newton
for example
some colors
in VF colors
there are colors
that I can't find
elsewhere
and there
I love
to have the possibility
to pick
a little bit elsewhere
to complete my palette
with pigments
a little bit more creamy
a little bit more pastel
that there are less
in Winsor & Newton brands
but otherwise
I have a hard time
to find the overseas blue
I like it
in extra fine
at the exit of the tube
Winsor & Newton
I can't paint
with something else
maybe also
by force of painting
by force of doing
we have these little habits
I already have
little habits
of the watercolorist
who doesn't
get out of his palette
no I'm sorry
but I have a hard time
to go see elsewhere
yeah it's
that's how it is
what material
do I need to start
so a lot of questions
for the material
there I will send back
and I will put it
in link
to the video
watercolor material
that I made
not so long ago
or precisely
I propose
a selection of materials
for people
who are beginners
for people
who are intermediate
for people
a little more confirmed
so it hasn't changed much
no it hasn't changed
since
it's always the same
it's always what I recommend
there are all the links
that are provided with
so don't hesitate
to refer to this video
there is everything you need
next question
so out of curiosity
no watercolor
your cat's eyes
are always perfect
permanent makeup?
no
I asked
if you want
pro questions
personal
there is no problem
and it changes a little
so no
the makeup
it's a
eyeliner line
every morning
certainly I work at home
certainly
I am H24
in my workshop
I go out
I reassure you
I have friends
I have family
very close
but I still do
a lot of video content
I have appointments too
and to not change
my daily life
it's something
that I put in place
right away
when I started
on my own
I act like
I go to work
every morning
I get up at the same time
as when I was an employee
I prepare myself
in the same way
I dress up
in the same way
I put on makeup
in my office
in my workshop
always around 9am
9.30am
when I'm really late
I don't know
I'm going to start a machine
or what
because it's the advantage
of working at home
but really
I don't change anything
I like to be
still a little bit
after work
but no
it's not permanent
it's eyeliner
eyeliner
I will put the reference
I would like to find you

Is your husband a painter, artist or other art side?
So not at all, my husband is not an artist at all.
Often when I ask him, do you like what I did, he says yes, whatever it is.
No, no, I don't have a husband, artist, painter, not at all.
My husband works, he has a passion for his job too, but in his field, he loves his job.
He is more in the management, but absolutely not a painter.
But he supports me a lot on a daily basis, you can see it a little bit in the last vlog, he is a lot behind me.
He's on that side, a little bit of a coach on a daily basis.
And then he helps me to do little things too, to do inventory, to do little assessments.
Finally, he still gives me a lot of help.
So I was wondering, in DM, how did you manage the double job when you were employed with L'eau Bleue?
So I answered him earlier, I worked in the evening, a lot in the evening and the weekend.
My passions, we don't count the hours, I really had fun putting myself to work.
Hello, is it difficult to find your style? If not, how to find it?
Finding your style takes time.
You have to practice, practice, you have to get inspired, especially avoid copying.
But you have to get inspired, you have to not hesitate, you have to not forbid yourself to redo watercolors,
illustrations or subjects or photos of artists that we admire, because it will feed us.
As I said earlier, you don't just have to sell them, you don't have to copy them to sell them afterwards, it's not good to do that.
But feed yourself with others, feed yourself with what surrounds you, fill out notebooks, go ahead, fill out, fill out.
Find the colors you like, find the palette.
Make yourself a little palette like that, just with the colors that speak to you, that you like.
Make yourself little mixes that you like and build it like that little by little.
But it's the same if you wait in front of your blank sheet, it won't come.
Don't hesitate to appropriate things, to transform them, to combine them with something else.
It's like a little kitchen, I like to compare my job to chefs.
Chefs, I don't know.
There is an apple pie recipe, there is a lemon meringue pie recipe, it is there, there is a base.
But you have to create your own, you have to do something about it, you have to change it.
Sometimes it's just little things that change, that make you recognize it's you, it's because it's your style.
So it's a little bit the same with artistic jobs, you appropriate something.
But it comes with time, it's time.
It won't come in a snap of a finger, that's for sure.
If you had to choose only one color, don't cheat.
It's easy, I think you know it.
I think it would be the deep blue.
No surprise.
Well, maybe there are some who don't know, but I love deep blue.
I put it everywhere.
What scanner and printer to digitize and make fair-play cards?
So I have an Epson V550 scanner.
It is very, very good.
And printer, I have a Canon Pixma Pro XS.
But I don't always recommend it.
Because it is extremely capricious.
It's a very capricious machine.
The cartridges are not given.
And I also go through a printer.
I also have a printer that makes fine art prints for me.
Which is not far from my house.
My printer there, it inflates me.
It pisses me off.
It makes me shivers sometimes.
The day before a collection is released, it doesn't work anymore, for example.
Things like that.
So, can you tell us the exact name of the deep blue you use?
Thank you.
So, this is the French deep blue.
This is not the dark deep blue.
Because there are two or three versions of deep blue.
I think there are two.
At Winsor & Newton, this is the French deep blue.
It has a slightly warmer side.
This one.
It's good, it empties a little bit.
Will we have time to do everything?
I hope so.
Does it bother you that we reproduce your paintings to give them away as a gift?
Not at all.
If it's to give them away, there's no problem.
If it's to sell them.
If it's to do a business with them.
I may not be delighted.
But like a lot of artists.
Have you ever tried to make watercolor hydrangeas?
So, that made me laugh.
Because this question.
So, you may have followed the boxes in question.
I started sending them to you since November.
Late November, early December, I think.
So, I put them like that, just to collect as many of your questions.
Over a fairly long period of time, of course.
And there was this question from the same person who came back every time.
Have you ever tried to make hydrangeas?
So, I think I'll have to do a hydrangea tutorial.
I'll do it.
Because I also take a lot of notes of what you tell me.
And of your desires.
So, we're going to do the hydrangea tutorial.
Because yes, I've already done it.
But it's not the simplest watercolor.
But we're going to do it.
So, maybe we won't do it right away.
We may wait for it to be a little more the season.
Rather June.
So, sorry.
It won't be right away.
But we're going to do it in 2023.
We're going to do a little hydrangea tutorial.
Okay.
Hop.
Where can you get your inspiration for a new collection?
A little everywhere.
I already answered a little earlier.
I feed myself with a lot of things.
Not just images.
Sometimes it's music.
Sometimes it's movies.
Sometimes it's a photo.
Sometimes it's a walk.
Sometimes there are clicks that don't come with much.
How do you expand your professional network after your watercolor studies?
These are questions, I remember.
Things that you advised us, precisely.
By leaving the applied baccalaureate.
Already from the terminal, you told us.
Keep all your contacts.
There, already in school.
It's good that you all stay in touch a little bit.
That you do like that.
Be careful to stay connected.
Because, indeed, for later, it can be useful.
So, even teachers.
When you're going to do your first work experiences in companies.
It's important to stay connected with these people.
After, when we have, for example, a parent who works for a luxury brand.
Or for a house, I don't know.
Or a company that we like.
It's sure that it helps.
Personally, I had zero pipes.
Because I'm a little bit the only one to be in the artistic environment in my family.
The watercolor side, it goes back to my great-grandfather.
Who was a sailor.
On a boat.
So, if you want, at the level of artistic pipes.
No, it was not possible.
I think that keeping a maximum of these contacts.
Already from the exit of school.
It works.
And then, maybe, try to do.
Maybe parents, parents.
Or friends of friends.
Do not hesitate to launch.
Do not hesitate to go to people too.
Even if we hardly know anyone.
Go dig like that.
Look for the information.
The contact.
It works well.
After, there are networks.
There is Linkedin that works.
I think very well.
I'm not too much on Linkedin.
Maybe I should put a little bit.
But in my opinion, it also works pretty well on that side.
The digital side.
What are your five favorite granular watercolors?
Five, it's going to be a lot.
So, there are some at Winsor & Newton.
I would say all the cobalt at Winsor & Newton.
The blue of cobalt.
The green of cobalt.
I love the rose of pottery.
And there is one that I really loved.
That I used a lot this summer.
I painted it.
I redecorated it a lot this summer.
I do not have it here.
It's the violet of cobalt.
Here is another cobalt.
Very, very pretty color.
Which granules.
What else?
It's already not bad.
So, it's only four.
So, there you go.
Violet of cobalt.
Blue of cobalt.
Green of dark cobalt.
And rose of pottery.
I would not have a fifth.
Because it's ...
I'm only the one in the palette that I use.
Really.
So.
Classes on Patreon.
Well, yes.
No, sorry.
Well, no.
But yes.
I was approached by Patreon at the beginning.
Who asked me if I wanted to start on the Patreon system.
So, for those who do not know.
It's a content sharing system.
But paying.
So, to support these artists.
You can pay monthly as a small subscription.
Then you receive cards.
You receive stickers.
Exclusive videos.
Things like that.
And I said to myself, why not?
I was not far from launching it.
The truth is that it still has a lot of content to create for me.
And I'm afraid I won't get there.
Because I already have a lot of activity levers in my company.
With workshops.
With the online shop.
With online courses.
Pro projects with brands.
With companies.
Plus all the content here that I produce on social networks.
It's a lot.
So why not?
I kept that in a corner of my head.
Because I know there are artists, illustrators who love Patreon.
So why not?
Maybe.
So, your movie, your series, your favorite book?
I didn't think about that.
I will rather say series that I watched recently.
That I loved.
Books, at the moment I don't read books.
I admit that I am a person who reads rather when I am on vacation.
And since I don't have many holidays.
I don't read a lot.
I read a lot this summer.
Because I had time.
I love watching movies, series.
I like to play too.
I play games a little bit.
At the moment, I can say that.
I play Disney Dreamlight with my girls.
On Playstation.
I love it.
We love to play that.
We don't spend our time doing that.
But we like to play that.
My favorite series.
So last year I loved.
But really loved.
And it was also a source of inspiration for my spring theme.
For my Pastel Spring.
I loved Bridgerton's Chronicles.
I really loved it.
All the ambiance.
Floral.
The costumes.
But the photography.
But everything was splendid.
Well the story too.
It's beautiful.
But really this series.
Of all the ambiance.
It was really a source of inspiration.
For my Pastel Spring theme.
Last year.
Otherwise.
A series that I watched recently.
But it will absolutely not be a source of inspiration.
Because otherwise we will start to depress a little bit.
It's Paris 1905.
On Canal.
Which came out.
The second season came out not so long ago.
And we watched it with my husband.
Because Bridgerton didn't interest him.
I loved the ambiance.
I love the Polars.
I really like the Polars.
In books and in series.
I'm a fan.
I really liked that.
Films.
I often fall asleep watching films.
Series are good.
Because I have time.
They are shorter sequences.
Ah yes.
A film that I watched recently.
It's Elvis.
Because we take advantage of Canal.
To have very very good films.
Elvis.
The biopic on Elvis.
Which is great.
Top.
How much time per day.
On average.
Do you devote to your activity?
What organization do you have?
100%.
I would say.
Of my day.
Except.
From 5.30 p.m.
I change my cap.
I put on my mom's cap.
5.30 p.m.
6 p.m.
That's it.
My organization.
Is a bit.
I'm reviewing that.
Because.
I tend.
When I don't have very clear goals.
I tend to spread out a little bit.
And there.
Right now.
I find that I spread out.
Because I have a lot of projects in progress.
And I have to frame that.
With notions.
For example.
It helps me a lot to organize myself.
To do me.
Retro planning.
Things like that.
And.
I'm not too.
Too fan.
Of everything that is.
Planning.
Organization.
But.
I force myself to do it.
Because otherwise.
It goes in all directions.
And otherwise.
I procrastinate.
And otherwise.
It does not advance.
So.
I have to.
That I do that.
There.
It's.
Things that are going to be put in place.
Very soon.
Hello.
How do I take to print my watercolors.
In good quality.
So.
You have to be a very good scanner.
Like the one I gave the reference.
It's the V550.
At Epson.
You have to be.
In contact with a good printer.
Also.
So.
It can be a local printer.
It can be a specialized printer.
In the photo.
And in art prints.
Or.
A printer.
That's it.
Like.
A printer.
That's it.
The reference I gave.
The.
Canon Pixma Pro XS.
For.
For me.
But there are very good ones too.
At Epson.
And you buy the paper that goes with it.
Because they are specific papers.
With.
A specific glue.
With a specific after.
On it.
Which are archive papers.
Of quality.
Fine art.
It's called.
That you buy.
There are several brands.
There is Canon.
Canson.
Anne Muleux.
They all have their range of specialized papers.
In quality.
Archive.
And fine art.
So.
To do the part.
Everything that is.
Digitization.
And everything that is.
How to digitize.
There.
You have to be able to do that too.
With Photoshop.
Photoshop.
You need Photoshop.
To.
Scan.
Your watercolor.
And then be able to print it afterwards.
But everything that is inside.
Photoshop.
How.
Here.
Blur.
His watercolor.
How.
Remove the background.
How to bring out the colors.
All that.
You have to.
I can't.
I'm not going to give it to you.
In fact.
Today.
In this video.
Because we're going to spend.
About.
The full time.
In fact.
From there.
Already.
That we took on this video.
It takes a lot of time.
It's something.
For example.
We can train.
To do that.
And very very good training.
To.
Digitize his art.
And then be able to print it.
But it's.
Not that complicated.
I think that if you.
If you do a little training.
It's going to be.
Quickly.
Settled.
In fact.
How did you learn to paint?
I started early.
I was.
Eleven years old.
And I did.
Art studies.
Here.
I'm not at all.
So here.
I was trained.
With.
Professional painters.
With.
Teachers.
Plastic art.
I went through the school.
Classical.
Academic.
What advice to launch a YouTube channel?
Art.
Investment.
Subject.
So investment.
I don't understand.
Subject.
Finally.
It's up to you to find your.
It's up to you to find your subject.
