Art Faith n Resources with C_Laure

Once upon a time Beauty, Truth, Art (and Faith) walked along together... But why is it today that the world promote that "Art is Art" and that "any art is art"... How can Art have any value with such a statement? Here's a little reflexion that I want to offer you - especially if you are an Artist and a Content Creator - to invite us to an awareness of the sacredness of Art and our calling to put our creativity in service for the greater good. In the end... it's all about knowing where beauty is from... and WHO is Beauty with a big "B". Enjoy the podcast and be inspired!

This is a third part of random pages of my Art Journaling book. Continue to let your process of creativity emerge. Art journaling is helpful to let the "process of artistic skills emerge". It is a very good way to just learn and be inspired prior to creating "concrete" piece of art (that is on a canvas or for sell). Even a page from an art journaling booklet can become an unexpected masterpiece or a print to use for sell! Have you started yet to let your process of creativity emerge? Dare to create something and to discover your gifts and talents as a creative person! Enjoy watching and dare to let God "IN" your creative process! God bless!

Hi Guys! I received many comments on "my choices of colours". People ask me how do I make them. Really, I have to be honest : "I just pick them and mix them and... voilà!" However, I gave a training and I wanted to share with you the segment where I recommend "free resources" (yay!). I understand that it is not as easy for everybody. Still, I also recommend you to dare mixing colours "just like a child" and live the experience of "listening to intuition". Observing and contemplating your own choices of colours can be a real training in itself when done seriously. So have a good time listening, take notes and give me some feedbacks on your own experience of choices of colours! Here are the link of the resources I'm sharing about : https://htmlcolors.com/color-wheel https://colorpalettes.net/ https://coolors.co/ There are many more but with these 3, there is enough resources to get inspired to make great choices of colours! If you have other resources, please share them as well! Why not share resources as content creators and creative people when we can help each other? So dare to create and remember to invite God in all you do! God bless!

Hi Guys! Last December 2022, I did a Christmas video. In that moment, in fact, I was experiencing what many people went through : being refused to travel. This got me thinking about life and many things we take for granted. Something beautiful came out of this experience in the end. I was able to share and witness on Christ gift to Humanity; but I also felt for the people who were unable to travel for worse situation than mine (ex: a family loss). So, let me share a little about it with you, now that the emotions are "back into place". Choosing to use our gifts responsibly is essential today. So be creative, be inspired to use your gifts and talents for God's glory with love, humility, faith and courage! God bless!

In this time, as Creative People, it is important to be aware of "the time in which we live" and how we are being called by God to be responsible, bold and use our creativity to empower and enrich people. So in this video, reflecting on how important it is to be connected with God - our true teacher - if we want to trust to choose what's right and act righteously. It is important to be aware that we are in a true battle for the Truth and that we are called to stand for it with humility and boldness. So be creative, be inspired to use your gifts and talents for God's glory and dare to stand for the Truth - that He is - with love, humility, faith and courage!

Hi Guys! In this time, as Creative People, it is important to be aware of "the time in which we live" and how we are being called by God to be responsible, bold and use our creativity to empower and enrich people. So in this video, reflecting on things that are affecting our society, our time and things to ponder, the importance to acknowledge the battle between "good and evil" and choose to fight "the good fight" of the faith. So be creative, be inspired and dare to stand for the Truth with love, humility, faith and courage! God bless!

Hi Guys! Sometimes we shop for Art Journals (sometimes expensive ones 😮) when we have in our workshop so much leftover papers!!! How about making our own kits? It can be inspiring and much more gratifying sometimes. If you are an caregiver, it can be a great activity to do with young people or children "at heart" as well! So a good reminder : let's use what we have and be creative with it!

Hi Guys! So, if you've followed some of my videos, you hear me often speaking about PROCESS! Following your process, trusting your process, inviting God in your process, etc. So, I wanted to share with you a concrete result - so a masterpiece for me now - that came through doing Art Journaling. You will better understand when I use these words. If it's your first time on this channel, well welcome! Welcome! As always, hope it inspires you in your creativity and remember to "invite God in your process"! God bless! CL

Hi Guys! In this period of celebration where we underline black history, I thought I would share with you pieces of my art where "the sound of feminine genius" is underlined. So, here's a short clip with a music expressing "a signal". (The tune is speaking of anger but I'd rather speak about "the call to take a stand"). Hear the sound of feminine blackness who, again and again, is standing for love, for faith, for life, for freedom, for nature, for truth, for peace... Tribute to all those who do it with grace, humility, courage and boldness. Enjoy watching! God bless!

Hi Guys! Sharing with you this activity that I did during the time of advent and as I was "resting". If you're working with children or "children at heart", it might be a cool activity to do as an educator or caregiver. Enjoy watching and I hope it can inspire you in your creativity! God bless!

Hi Creative Ones! In this video, I presenting you some drawing I did on which I used oils pastels, acrylic painting and pens, felt crayons and colour wood pencils. I will share as the images show different tips and thoughts on my process for practicing. When we practice, it's the "result" is not important. It's more about allowing the process to happen and letting the brain and the hands work together to master making great choices of colours and exploring the tools we have (or mediums). So hope you enjoy watching (and listening) and have faith in diving in your process to discover your creative gifts! God bless!

Hi Guys! To a request, I'm sharing on different ways I was inspired to start Art Journaling. With time, it became designs, patterns, styles, etc. Short video with images but where I'm giving different tips and examples. These ways are "simplistic" - I think - and can maybe help those creative persons, still hesitant, and wondering where to start. So enjoy and dare to "start" your creative process! God bless! CL

In this video, I take the time to reflect - with you all - on the word BLOSSOM. There are moments in life where we can feel quite like a "caterpillar". Everything seems heavy, we don't really know where we are going, we hit bumps on the way and we wonder about life and our purpose, right? So let's wonder together! Let's remember that the whole point of our journey, as human beings and as children made in the image and likeness of God, is to "blossom"! Enjoy the process of reflection as I spread acrylic painting on my journal and lead you on the way!
