The day we arrived in Paris it was cloudy and gray, but we didn't mind.
Usually, the weather was sunny and crisp so we did a lot of walking...once taking a 3 minute break for me to sketch a quick view of Notre Dame.
We visited Sacre Coeur and found a quiet spot where I could draw.
After sketching in Luxembourg Gardens, I needed to go to an art store for some Winsor red.
I joined the very welcoming Paris sketchers for a sketch in a bookstore...
where I also sketched a couple of other sketchers...
It was sunny and busy in the Marais and many people were out enjoying the weather...
This isn't a very good sketch of the Rodin Garden, but it reminds me of the very well-dressed little toddler who tried to take my purse, presumably to complete her ensemble...
On another sunny afternoon, I did a quick sketch at the garden of the Palais Royale. Nearby, we saw ads for a Le Corbusier exhibit.
In the courtyard, a class of art/architecture students were practicing perspective. I decided to join in for a quick sketch.
I finally got to see a closeup of the sculptures in the fountain at Place Igor Stravinsky, behind the Pompidou.
When I got home, I make a map of the places we visited in Paris.
