Here’s a quick study of a beautiful sunrise I saw in the Belgian Ardennes last month ~ I had to draw each separate stage! I used to hate mornings but I’ve gotten addicted to moments like these.

A speedpaint of a tiny little village in the south of France called Pagès.
An ode to the overcast winter hikes that got me through a long, cold, and isolated winter this year. Being in nature and watching the seasons slowly progress is a gentle reminder that nothing is permanent and that easier times are coming.
Thinking about sunny mornings on green balconies ☀️
A snow nymph wandering through her forest. Soon her season will be over, spring is coming 🌱
Thinking about a white, empty space to retreat to when life gets too chaotic.
A quite, serene moment in the snow.
break time ☕
Thinking about cosy living rooms and long hours spent reading on the couch.
A quick environment speedpaint, based loosely on a reference photo taken in Madagascar ~ a place I hope to have the privilege of visiting someday! These baobab trees always amaze me, I love their chunky shapes!
The last in the series of drawings where I travel through my art! This one is based on Erawan Falls in Thailand, a place I hope to visit someday. It looks so peaceful and serene! Forest rivers are so magical, I don’t have many of them around where I live so I’m always amazed when I see one in the wild.

Another piece in which I travel through my art, because I’m not travelling in real life this year! This one is based on the Hardergrat trail in Switzerland, which looks so beautiful but also so scary!

I’m really bummed that I’m not travelling this year, so I decided to travel through my art instead! This is a place that I’d love to visit one day: the Injidup Natural Spa in Western Australia.

here’s some more sketches from my trip to the cévennes last week! I love the charming cities and towns there - they’re so old and visiting them feels like travelling back in time.
here’s some sketches from my recent trip to the cévennes in france! it’s such a beautiful place, I always feel so inspired by the roughness of the nature there, and the beautiful clear rivers.
