🇬🇧 Fish, chips, a pint, and a sketchbook — best night out in Folkestone 🍺✏️
Spent the evening sketching the cosy interior of, right after a proper fish’n’chips and a pint. There’s something magic about drawing in a pub — people get curious, they come talk to you. I had a lovely chat with, a local sea rescuer, and from the pub team — we talked about our jobs and passions with so much enthusiasm, comparing what drives us in our very different worlds. All while trying to capture that warm, lively atmosphere on paper. One of those simple evenings that stays with you.
🇫🇷 Un fish’n’chips, une bière, un carnet à dessin — la meilleure soirée à Folkestone 🍺✏️
J’ai passé la soirée à dessiner l’intérieur chaleureux du pub The Harbour Inn à Folkestone, juste après un bon fish’n’chips et une bière. Il se passe toujours quelque chose de spécial quand on dessine dans un pub: les gens sont curieux, viennent discuter. J’ai eu la chance d’échanger avec Fiona, secouriste en mer, et Chloe de l’équipe du pub — on a parlé de nos métiers et de nos passions avec beaucoup d’enthousiasme, chacun racontant ce qui l’anime dans son univers. Tout en essayant de capturer cette ambiance conviviale sur le papier. Une de ces soirées simples qui restent en mémoire.

This house immediately caught my attention with its distinctive dark timber cladding, which became the main challenge of the painting. Rather than creating heavy dark masses, I wanted to keep the watercolor light and luminous, using subtle contrasts and letting the light define the architecture.
To balance these deep tones, I relied on the abundant greenery surrounding the house—one of the qualities I love most about English gardens. The foliage brings softness, movement, and color, helping to create a harmonious dialogue between architecture and nature.
A commissioned piece that was as much about capturing a home as it was about finding the right balance between shadow, light, and vegetation.

This watercolor was created for friends who lived here for several years and have many memories attached to this home and neighborhood. I wanted to find the viewpoint that best captured the character of the house, its elegant façade, and the atmosphere of this charming corner of North London.
A watercolor painted not only as a portrait of a building, but also as a way of preserving a place filled with personal stories and memories.

J’ai profité d’une accalmie de la canicule pour venir peindre dans le parc du Château, à l’ombre des arbres pour m’abriter de la pluie qui menaçait.
Cela faisait très longtemps que je n’avais pas utilisé de chevalet, je voulais le prendre afin de faire un format assez grand. Ces derniers temps j’ai effet plus de plaisir à sortir des carnets pour avoir plus d’ampleur dans les sujets que je peins.
Château de Maisons-Laffitte in the Yvelines, in ink and watercolour on paper.
I took advantage of a lull of the heat wave to come and paint in the Castle park, in the shade of the trees to shelter from the threatening rain.
It had been a long time since I had used an easele, I wanted to take it in order to make a fairly large format. Lately I have had more pleasure in releasing notebooks to have more scope in the subjects I paint.

J’avoue qu’au bout de quelques minutes je me suis demandé dans quoi je m’étais lancé, mais j’étais en belle compagnie aux côtés de et qui avaient bien avancé de leur côté!
Une fin de journée des plus agréables à m’égarer gentiment dans ces détails incroyables de cette architecture gothique flamboyante.
Mais ce qui était encore plus incroyable a été le plaisir et la stimulation de rencontrer tant de dessinateurs passionnés, venus des quatre coins de France et de bien au-delà, à l’occasion de la rencontre annuelle #uskfrance2026 organisée par #uskrouen!
#uskrouen2026 #urbansketcher #urbansketching
Un peu de fraicheur trouvée terrasse, et un très beau moment partagé avec Lis Watkins aka à discuter paisiblement en dessinant tous les deux, une quinzaine d’années après que nous ayons dessinés tous deux dans le centre de Londres.
Parce que outre les nouvelles découvertes, il y a aussi les retrouvailles, grâce au dessin, qui fédère cette sympathique et joyeuse communauté de sketchers qui ne connait pas les frontières!
Merci encore pour avoir organisé ce bel événement #uskrouen2026!

The first true rays of sunlight of the year, black ink on white paper, and the simple joy of drawing Paris.

Les premiers vrais rayons de soleil de l’année, l’encre noire sur le papier blanc, et le plaisir simple de dessiner Paris.

🇫🇷 Urban sketching à Paris, au cœur de la Bibliothèque nationale de France.
🇬🇧 Making of a drawing created with pen and brush, in sepia ink, in my Moleskine sketchbook at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BNF).
One of my favourite places in Paris, for its bold architecture combining glass towers with a canopy of greenery.
An urban yet vegetal atmosphere, particularly inspiring for urban sketching and on-location drawing.
🇫🇷 Making off d’un dessin réalisé à la plume et au pinceau, à l’encre sépia, dans mon carnet Moleskine à la (Bibliothèque Nationale de France)
L’un de mes endroits préférés à Paris, pour son architecture audacieuse qui mêle tours de verre et canopée végétale.
Une atmosphère à la fois urbaine et végétale, particulièrement inspirante pour l’urban sketching et le dessin sur le vif.

🇬🇧 One of my 2025 travel sketchbooks, filled entirely on location while sketching through England, Italy, Spain and France.
Urban sketching, observing, slowing down, and drawing what is in front of me — places, atmospheres, everyday moments.
Sharing these sketchbooks is part of the journey: a way to connect, exchange, and keep the practice alive.

Urban sketching, observer, ralentir, et dessiner ce qui est là — des lieux, des ambiances, des scènes du quotidien.
Partager ces carnets fait partie du voyage: une manière d’échanger, de transmettre et de faire vivre la pratique.
