“It’s the witches summer” – CITAD’ELLES n°20, a women’s magazine without a fence around it

3 September 2019

Approached by Citad’elles magazine made by and for inmates at the Rennes female prison I contributed to the last issue. It was a unique experience to which I responded positively.

“Giving voices to women deprived of it is the ambition of the Citad’elles project. It enables a group of long-term prisoners of the Rennes prison centre to produce a professional quality women’s magazine. Created in 2012 by the association “Les établissements Bollec“, in collaboration with the teaching league – which benefits from the support of the Ministry of Culture for its actions within the framework of the culture-justice programme – Citad’elles is a real quarterly publication of about fifty pages distributed in the prison of Rennes and made available to the general public through its website.

Awarded a prize at the Journalism Forum of Tours 2017 by the Ministry of Culture, the Citad’elles project offers prisoners at the Rennes prison to carry out a quarterly review under professional conditions.”

ARTISTIC EXPLORATIONS, ZAKOUSKA AND CREATORS’ MARKET ON AUGUST 31

24 August 2019

After the weather disaster of August 15th, rain and gale at Place aux Arts broke my frames. A lot of damage and an early end of exhibition for me. But repairs are in progress and I will show prints, etchings, collages and paper objects at the Rougemont le château creators’ market on August 31. This village was part of my adolescence and I will be happy to return to it. It is also the home of Bruno Geyer, gardener poet with his 900 watering cans. If he is well known here, he is also known by a lot of tourists. Discover his shop if you have never visited it !

At the moment, I am exploring other medias, watercolour, markers, textile inks and playing with spontaneous drawing…

while listening to ZAKOUSKA, a group of Strasbourg musicians. I love their music, advocating “mixing and meeting people”: gypsy tunes from Romania, jazz scoundrels from New York clubs, North African transes, it’s cheerful, creative, it makes you want to travel, it makes you happy !

I went to listen to them at the Moulin de Hundsbach in Sundgau (southern Alsace for those who are not from the area), a superb place that served as a setting for an exhibition of watercolours, painting and photography during a whole weekend and I was able to enjoy them. The party was there with flambé pie, beer and local pork. New edition next year at the same time for other exhibitions and always music and festive table. I will tell you more before the event.

A little glimpse of their music?

“TOUCH” – ShinHanart Korea Twin Marker review

10 June 2019

Just reviewed the new professional Twin markers TOUCH from ShinHanart Korea. 204 vibrant colours, a fine point nib for the details, a broad chisel nib for painting more important surfaces. Excellent for colour swatches. For very thin details better use the TOUCH liners (nib size 0,05 mm to 0,8 mm /13 colours).

I tested the erasable carbon paper from CopyRite onto watercolour paper

27 April 2019

I tested the erasable carbon paper from CopyRite.

Transfer of a drawing onto watercolour paper.

Very good results : Does not stain the paper. Lines can be erased without leaving any marks. Perfect for transferring properly without being afraid of getting the paper dirty. It can also be used to transfer a design onto canvas or fabric. Several colours of carbon are available : black, blue, red, yellow and white which is convenient for transferring on a medium of any colour.
