‘Cuve 7’ at domaine la Gontarde. Sketching wit ‘Cuve 7’ at domaine la Gontarde. Sketching with markers is still out of my comfort zone. But @lizsteelart made me try it again after seeing her recent work. A few glasses of red wine helped too. ☺️  #illustratedjournal #urbansketchers #moleskinesketchbook #talensecoline #sketchbook #carnetdevoyage #lagontarde #ateliernomade

Things are finally falling into place for this map Things are finally falling into place for this map. The best part is that I get to combine my favorite practices: urban sketching for architecture & landscape, sketchnotes to develop the concept of the map, fine writing and typography for texts.  #deepmapping #sketchnotes #urbansketchers #mapmaking #sketch #handwriting

Also wondering what it is like to be the neighbor of Café de la Poste and Le Goultois in summer. 🤔  #goult #provence #luberon #usk #urbansketchers #luberoncoeurdeprovence

Reading ‘Vivre en Provence’ by Jean-Paul Cléb Reading ‘Vivre en Provence’ by Jean-Paul Clébert (1926-2011), the Jack Kerouac of French literature. I may assume that, according to his description, I’ve drawn his house in Oppède-le-Vieux several times. Another rather bizarre coincidence, I wrote a text on the façade as if to say: this was the house of a writer. #intuition ?  Most people will think of Peter Mayle when referring to life in Provence. I would rather recommend Clébert. Not as romantic as Pagnol, no tung-in-cheek anecdotes as Mayle, but the real stuff in a beautiful but sometimes harsh environment. Unfortunately less known and hard to find in translation, but for me Clébert is right up there with Giono and Bosco.  In my project involving the stone quarry of Oppède and the olive oil mill Saint Augustin, the principles of Clébert are a guide. I so discovered that the Situationist movement (Guy Debord) based their theory of the ‘dérive’ on his writing. More on that later.  First picture: my sketches from 2012-2013 with a 1977 edition of the book. Second picture: a newspaper clipping with portrait of the author from 1988 at the occasion of the award ceremony of the Grand Prix Litteraire de Provence.  #documentarysketching #urbansketch #provence #oppedelevieux #luberoncoeurdeprovence #writer #travelsketchbook
