Dried inspiration! ou La page blanche!

Salut ,

de retour sur la blogosphère et de vraies questions se posent à moi;
cet été j'ai fait ça!
Me this summer ;-)

depuis que je travaille les weekend ( pas de tournois, pas de d'échanges avec les amis ou presque) pas d'inspiration et pas de projets en vue!
j'ai fait beaucoup d'expérimentations avec des encres sur bases blanches, des essais de spray Liquitex de différentes couleurs avec des résultats mitigés voire très décevants même si on peut toujours en tirer des leçons;
je cherche mes boites de Motivex!
revenir aux fondamentaux voilà peut être la solution!


since I work the weekend (no tournaments, no exchanges with friends or almost) no inspiration and no plans to!

I did a lot of experiments with ink of different brands on white bases, testing spray Liquitex of different colors with mixed to very disappointing results even though you can always learn;

I try to find my Movitex boxes!

back to basics here may be the solution!


Be seeing You;-)
