About me

My name is Ondine de Peretti, I am a watercolorist and I offer online courses so that you can discover or improve your watercolour skills. 

My approach

I paint minimalist landscapes by putting gesture and colours at the heart of my creations.

My story

I discovered watercolour in 2020 during the first lockdown. I immediately loved it and have painted every day since. On Instagram, I discovered a very beautiful community that made me want to share my knowledge. I was contacted by Hachette Pratique then Marabout which allowed me to write a book for beginners and then a book on landscapes to delve deeper into the subject of minimalist landscapes. Since then, I have developed my YouTube channel to offer tutorials and I created my first online course "The basics of watercolour through minimalist landscapes".

Sennelier signature palette

Sennelier colours have been with me since my beginnings in watercolour. I love their smoothness, their intensity and their unique shades. This palette contains my favourite colours, those that cannot be found anywhere else and which provide all the subtlety necessary to create pretty colour harmonies.
