Élodie Mounier 

When and why did you start painting?

I started painting 3 years ago because I felt a great need to put creativity in my life. I discovered beautiful watercolors by various artists on Pinterest which made me want to get started. To push myself to paint regularly, I opened an Instagram account right away. 

What inspires you?

Nature inspires me the most. I can’t stop myself from taking pictures of flowers or landscapes during my walks or travels.  

What is your favorite painting technique?

I don’t know. I love to learn so all the techniques seem interesting to me. But I am rather meticulous and I like to paint regular shapes. 

What are your experiences with social media?

I follow many artists on Instagram which allowed me to learn, progress and made me want to open my account where I exchange a lot. 

I also watch some Youtube videos and I plan to create my channel soon. I also sometimes look for inspiration on Pinterest where you can find very pretty pictures. 

Your favorite KUM brush?

I am in love with the memory point number 2. I also love the faded number 2.  

Imagine you are Aladdin and you have three wishes:

• Peace, joy and health for everybody in the world.  
• That spirituality, honesty takes precedence over money 
• A last wish a little more selfish: to be able to live from my art while being free of my time and my place of work.
