Paris, the “Pont des arts”. Each evening young people sit on the bridge over the Seine and picknick in the warm evening sun. The Louvre on one side, the École des beaux arts on the other. Boats below. Spanish guitars. Friends, food and wine. How romantic can you get.

Jardin des Plantes – Watercolour/Inktense in an A4 Watercolour Moleskine
201169′s recent posts refer to this place. We last visited here three years ago and I thought that I would look through some old sketchbooks to compile a painting. When we were there it was a late April evening and many plants were not in bloom, some were not yet in place, so this has a certain amount of license. However, many great memories have been evoked and I just had an urge to do this. This is meant to be the Museum national d’histoire naturelle. Est-ce quelque chose comme le lieu, Pascal?

The Eiffel Tower. This is actually a old drawing I did a while ago from a picture and I thought I would post it because i’m going to Paris tommarow For the First time to see it for real . And i’m exited , Ill try to get some drawing done when i’m there too.
The drawing was done in pencil but has a ‘watercolor’ Photoshop filter ( I know thats sorta cheating but it looks better like that) -

I drew this on a recent trip to Paris whilst having lunch at Le Marche des Enfants Rouges, mainly because it looked like a fairly Parisian scene. And I liked the lamp.
