    From Monday to Wednesday we had a German / Swiss / Dutch sales meeting in a very nice location called \”Hühnerhof\” in Germany. There was a lot of information, constructive discussions and exchange of experiences. To familiarise us with Liquitex Acrylic Gouache, our colleague Reiner brought along some pre-drawn pictures for us to paint.

    And just as important were our wellbeing activities, adventure golf and good food.

    I love this article on the home of outsider artist Ron Gittins, located in the town of Birkenhead in Merseyside, UK.  I’m fascinated by how other artists keep their studios and particularly when their homes becomes works of art in their own right.   You can check out the article here:  A U.K. Home Filled With Surreal Outsider Art Receives Protected Status (artnet.com)

    And for those of us here in North America I’d highly recommend visiting some of the locations in the museum coalition of Historic Artists’ Homes & Studios: https://artistshomes.org/

      I watched a news article on this and was surprised to learn the term “outsider artist” and what it meant – the person being interviewed basically said it was applied to someone who hadn’t been to art school. Am I allowed to say that I felt that this was a bit “judgey” ?? All artists welcome here, formal training or not !!…

    Dear all, we are pleased to reveal our new range! To celebrate the launch of the Lefranc Bourgeois new fine oil range, the artist Françoise Nielly opened the doors of her studio and demonstrated all the advantages of this range combined with her emblematic gesture to create a colorful and powerful artwork. The primary colours are brought out brilliantly. Enjoy! Thanks to the whole Lefranc bourgeois team and the support of colleagues (lab, production, sales, trade, merchandising, purchasing, forecasts, digital, devs, export, logistics…) It’s definitely a team effort! 

    Chers tous, nous sommes heureux de vous présenter notre nouvelle gamme !

Les couleurs primaires sont brillamment mises en valeur.  Merci à toute l’équipe Lefranc bourgeois et au soutien de tous les collègues (labo, production, ventes, commerce, merchandising, achats, prévisions, digital, devs, export, logistique…) C’est vraiment un beau travail d’équipe !

Creating Impact Tip
Millions of tonnes of clothing, shoes and other textiles end up in landfill every year because very little is sent for recycling .

“The current fashion system uses high volumes of non-renewable resources, including petroleum, extracted to produce clothes that are often used only for a short period of time, after which the materials are largely lost to landfill or incineration. “This system puts pressure on valuable resources such as water, pollutes the environment and degrades ecosystems in addition to creating societal impacts on a global scale.” There are good reasons to seek out alternatives to chucking clothes in the bin – globally the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions, with textile production alone is estimated to release 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year. Vast amounts of water are also needed to produce the clothes we wear too and the fashion industry is responsible for 20% of global waste water.  At the same time we are buying more clothes than ever – the average consumer now buys 60% more clothing than they did 15 years ago. More than two tonnes of clothing are bought each minute in the UK, more than any other country in Europe. Globally, around 56 million tonnes of clothing are bought each year, and this is expected to rise to 93 million tonnes by 2030 and 160 million tonnes by 2050.

"Reuse. Recycle. Rethink — your clothes deserve a second life, not a landfill."
