Musee Branly

Several months ago when the idea for this Paris workshop was proposed to me I had a vision of sitting outside under a plane tree, sketching beautiful street scenes. That vision never included wearing every piece of clothing I brought with me and trying to stay warm. Today the spitting rain forced us to find shelter. Our first destination was the portico of the Musee d’art moderne de la ville de Paris where we sketched the Eiffel tower in the distance and from there we moved to the Musee de Quai de Branly where I sketched the red columns of the museum entrance. The tough ones among us braved the damp and the cold while the intelligent ones painted the view while having tea inside the cafe. As you can see, everyone did something quite remarkable.

    How amazing to see all these Parisians with a big smile on their faces, in spite of the bad weather! Everyone knows that they are big “râleurs” and only you could make them feel so happy: you’ve won against all odds!

    Cold and wet. Doesn’t go well together with watercolour isn’t it? We have the same weather here in the Netherlands.
    Still brave to continue like that.
