Rotonde de la Villette

Looking at this demonstration that I did Place de Stalingrad this morning you might think that it was a beautiful warm day in Paris. Wrong! When I opened the curtains before 7 a.m. the sky was charcoal and the Paris streets were slick with rain. But these French sketchers are pretty tough and despite the cold and the damp we painted all day. The sun appeared infrequently in the afternoon and we had to capture the cast shadows pretty quickly sometimes but mostly everybody managed to get in two or three paintings.

    Love the perspective and the warm colour of the limestone building. Are these participants all from Paris? Quiet a contrast to MacDonald Farm!!
