Practice: this category of my blog includes all articles and videos that discuss the practice of making art.
Reboot

Sometimes, my camera is the only cure.
Process work / Le travail du processus

There are times when I have to make art in order to be able to make other art. Parfois, je crée une œuvre afin de faire d’autres œuvres.
Thinking out loud in a visual sense / Penser tout haut dans un sens visuel

That’s what drawing is for me. Voilà comment le dessin fonctionne chez moi.
Why I can write a book about science even though I’m not a scientist

My credibility as the author of Crime Against Nature, a book about science, has been called into question now and again.
Working small / Travailler tout petit

A lesson from the small side. Une leçon sur la petitesse.
Drawing me / Me dessiner

My partner and I both drew me recently as I recorded our progress. Mon ami et moi, nous avions tous les deux fait mon portrait, et j’ai filmé notre processus.
Single, double, more! / Simple, double, et encore!

Sometimes it’s easy to see when I’ve grown as an artist. Parfois, c’est facile de voir combien j’ai grandi en tant qu’artiste.
Comment stimuler sa créativité en se limitant

Sans contraintes, il est très difficile d’innover.
A single brushstroke / Un coup de pinceau

Sometimes the only way to really learn something is to jump in with both feet, and one little part of this little painting shows how true that is. Parfois, on ne peut pas apprendre une chose sans y sauter à pieds joints, et une petite partie de ce petit tableau en est la preuve.
Drawing as meditation / Dessiner, méditer

I’ve never been much for meditation. In fact, it’s when I try to tell my brain to be quiet that the real noise begins. That said, I do know how to find peace regularly. Je ne médite pas. En fait, c’est quand j’essaie de calmer mon esprit que le bruit commence sérieusement. Ceci dit, je sais comment trouver une certaine tranquilité régulièrement.
Words and images

As a visual artist, I sort of hate words while secretly adoring them too.
Les mots et les images

En tant que plasticienne, je déteste les mots et, en même temps, je les adore aussi.

My name is Gwenn Seemel. I live in Portland, Oregon, USA. I’m a full-time artist and I’ve sold my soul to the genre of portraiture. I blog in French as well as in English. More...
