A week in Paris

  1. These are all such delightful sketches! Like little snapshots of a vacation. Your sketch of the two people sitting next to each other; the one on the right seems to be looking at the one on the left. Minimal lines but packed with character. Your washes, lines and everything are just wonderful. Great memories. One day I hope to make it to Paris.

  12. Those are wonderful sketches. I'm French but living in Canada, and i felt right at home. I love how you captured the people in the cafe. The guy with the diamond sweater would have to be my uncle, or cousin, or... so French. Well done.
