These are the colours that artist Alexia Winterhalter says she chooses “when it’s too hot outside.”
The “tiny French artist based in the Italian mountains,” as she describes herself, has a huge following – not just for her creative colour sketchbooks, but also for videos and her monthly postcard+sticker.
“i’m so ready for summer,” she wrote about this sketchbook set. “flowers and green pastures, the wind in my hair, birds chirping in the forest. sleeping up in the mountains and climbing on big rocks. running at dawn and sitting outside after dusk. YES.”
The sketchbook spread from the top of the post (full image, below) was done for Our Planet Week, 2026.
There’s so much more, often with accompanying colour diagrams, on her Instagram, here.
Winterhalter’s prints, originals and stickers are offered via her store, here. She’s on Patreon, here.

This is so lovely. I see a lot of jigsaw puzzle with this type of design lately. It’s so fresh looking.
That’s so interesting, that jigsaw puzzles are using this type of design. Thank you.
Yes, there is a Canadian brand called, “Villager.” Take a look…they have a couple of puzzles like this design. https://villagerpuzzles.com/collections/new-puzzles?page=1
Also, an Alaskan puzzle company called, “Aurora,” take a look, beautiful vibrant colors on her puzzles, and they are challenging. https://aurorapuzzles.com/?srsltid=AfmBOor67HOu7bVSLY2xt9vAI0MgWl07BExIcESvMd_PyztplWrgzCQJ
There are other ones, but these come to mind.
Polychromatic animation. Complimenti!
