Fancy seeing you around here! My name is Antoine, and I’m simply a humble botanical artist. I’ve sold one or two paintings for a couple of mora, but that’s about it. I mainly paint for fun, so I don’t mind if my work doesn’t get any sales or recognition. Any questions you may have, feel free to ask! Just only if it doesn’t get too out of hand…

If you click the little globe icon on your keyboard enough times, it will come up with an emoji menu.

I had to put up with Papillon all of last evening rambling on about some stupid grudge he has against the fountain near the Opera Epiclese...

I don’t know what ‘beef’ as he put it with a fountain, but I suppose everyone has their quarrels. I, for one, have a particular dislike for Lumidouce bells. Gods, I hate their texture… It’s so unnatural to paint.

[antoineaskblog]

I’ve spent the last three days just cleaning. And that’s not even the entire house! That’s only my room!

It looks much better now that it’s all fixed up, though :)

Ugh, ignore the untucked sheets…

Is this... HilichurlIan?

[antoineaskblog]

Pardon me, but that’s actually Dutch, not Hilichurlian.

It’s the 2nd most commonly spoken language in Monsdadt, if I’m not mistaken. The anonymous user is just saying “I need a new car” over and over again.

[etoiles-astrologypainter]

Ah, I see. Well thank you for the correction. I was quite confused.

And who might you be?

[antoineaskblog]

Oh, sorry, I didn’t even introduce myself!

I’m Antoine- I saw my friend Papillon speaking to you earlier? I don’t remember if he mentioned me to you or not.

I don’t have much to say about myself, really. I’m just a humble botanical painter :)

[etoiles-astrologypainter]

Ah Papillion's friend? Nilou was telling me about you and your uh, situation. It's nice to finally meet you.

You're a painter? I am as well, though I haven't had much time for it lately.

[antoineaskblog]

Mhm! Don’t worry about my ‘situation’, it’s all sorted now. Nice to meet you, too.

Oh, and may I see some of your work? Most of my older works (before my little snooze) have disappeared, so I don’t have much to show in return…

[etoiles-astrologypainter]

I believe I have some photos on my phone somewhere... Ah, there they are.

Two of my most recent pieces from a few months ago.

If you ever find any of your work, I'd love to see it.

[antoineaskblog]

These are amazing, I really love the colour and mood (◕‿◕✿)

I’m starting to paint digitally, since I think it’s going to take a while until I can pick up a brush and paints again. It’s actually a great way to store things, since you always know where they are. I’ll ask Papillon and see if he knows where any of my real paintings are, but in the meantime, I have this to show you :)

Gods, my memory is terrible… I can’t remember when exactly, but I did this on the aquabus when I was returning from Sumeru. It was only a couple of days ago, so very recently!

[etoiles-astrologypainter]

Ah is that a Pluie Lotus? It's very pretty, you are very talented Antoine.

I've tried to get into digital art, but it doesn't quite feel the same as a brush and canvas. I felt like I was back at square one when I was first learning how to paint as a child. It was very disheartening. But I'm glad you are enjoying it.

[antoineaskblog]

Thank you, it is!

I can’t imagine being disheartened from something you love like that… I really hope you can pick it back up, since you’re really talented as well! I can see the love you put into every stroke of paint in your work.

The brush I was using on my art program did help a bit, since it mimicked what paint or watercolour does, but I do admit it was a bit “funky” to work with at first. It’s definitely not as good as anything I could do on canvas. I suppose I like to explore different mediums- I even tried clay, once… That was a mess, to say the least.

[etoiles-astrologypainter]

Ah yes, I like using clay sometimes. It feels good to get my hands... well, hand in it. An older woman in my village taught me how to make pottery when I was young. And sometimes I use it on my canvases to give it more texture. I use different paints sometimes too, although I struggle the most with watercolor. It's so hard to control, I have a great amount of respect for artists who use it as their main medium. I mainly use oils in my paintings.

[antoineaskblog]

I never thought of using things like that to add texture… Clay does feel nice, though, I’ll admit :)

I mainly use gouache, since I like how you can always just reactivate it and paint over any mistakes (if you haven’t varnished your work, of course). The transparency is also a lot more flexible than watercolour, which is the main reason I prefer it over that.

Gouache can be quite expensive if you don’t want it to crack, so I’d say that’s one of the only drawbacks. Plus, you can’t paint on plastic or anything like that with it.

I sometimes use acrylics if I’m making something a bit more vibrant, but I definitely prefer gouache. I haven’t actually experimented that much with oils…

[etoiles-astrologypainter]

I've never used Gouache, but I'll keep that in mind. Acrylics are nice, I do like their consistency over the oils, but I like the messy texture that I get from the oils after they dry.

Do let me know if you try oils tho, they can be a bit tricky Soni can give you tips to make it easier.

[antoineaskblog]

I’ll definitely also keep that in mind for when I get back to painting! Thanks for your offer.

On the aquabus back home.

Decided to make a little sketch of a Pluie Lotus. My hand is a bit shaky and the aquabus is even bumpier, so this isn’t my best work… (_ _;)
