Urban Sketchers Paris 10 x 10

You've heard of 'Singing In The Rain'? 

How about Painting in the rain(drizzle)? That's what we did yesterday to celebrate URBAN SKETCHERS 10 X 10 years celebration!

Our prof Jeremy Soheylian was undeterred by the rain 💧 even though dressed inappropriately in a white suit. I was dressed inappropriately in a light jacket and complaining a lot 🙄

Our subject matter.

Jeremy draws the 'profile' of the Pont Neuf.

He has the audacity(insanity) to paint it while it continues to drizzle!?

Ta Da.

My 'profile' painted at home during the lunch break.

Then we took refuge in the arcades of the Palais Royal nearby thank goodness. By this time I am sneezing and shivering.

Nothing stops Jeremy from drawing with his 0001 Micron or is it Staedler pen.

I jumped ship 🚢 and took refuge in Cafe le Nemours

No, Angelina Jolie (from the film THE TOURIST) was not on board.

Nevermind. A little heat and a lot of croque monsieur was what I needed. Plus one can sketch out the windows

A closer view..

After lunch all the Urban Sketch groups gathered together at Notre Dame to draw whatever.

I attempted the relief saints in the portal. The day became very hot. Typical Parisian weather. Always be prepared to strip in Paris.

A corner building captured my fancy. These 3-sided Hausmannian buildings are my newest obsession.

Post-doodle, Corinne and I grabbed a Perrier in a caf across the street from Notre Dame. I hope you enjoyed attending an Urban Sketchers paint in the rain session. Thanks for reading Parisbreakfast.
