- Bonjour ! I’m Carol Gillott, a former NYer living on Île Saint-Louis in a 21 meter chambre de bonne. As a Paris blogger, travel writer, watercolorist, and photographer, I share my latest escapades so you can walk around the city vicariously in my shoes. To experience even more of the Parisian life, sign up to receive my beautifully Illustrated monthly letters where I paint the Paris your dreams and mail them to you wherever you are. You can order these letters, along with my art prints, at my Etsy shop.

Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…

I was smitten w/ the blow up!
ReplyDeleteI know...if only watercolor were possible with giant brushes and giant pans...
DeleteI would love it. I love Plisson's paintings, the blow up shows them en valeur...Isn't there also another carnet convention, in Paris? Then there is the book festival and the fountain pen show...Leonardo at the Louvre, Turner...I wonder what are your pens that you bought...and the 2 books...
ReplyDeleteMaybe watercolor is possible with giant pens and brushes?
Watercolors have always been one of my favorite mediums & I've never understood why the "art world" doesn't give them more creds.
ReplyDeleteSize counts.
DeleteCheck out David Hockney’s giant watercolors!
ReplyDeleteAll we need is Big paper and Big brushes! (And some Hockney genes!)
I want to be David Hockney for so many reasons !
DeleteYou say 'I've thought of entering but my tiny CLAIRE FONTAINE 'sketchbooks' are just school notebooks. (See last picture).' But your Paris maps are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteIt has to be Travel sketchbooks recording some place
DeleteMine are mainly head trips.
To me this is every bit as delicious as your chocolate shots. Fabulous. Glad you were there
ReplyDelete& Lucky you! - DaVinci at the Louvre - the most sought after ticket in town!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan’t wait to read all about it in your next edition
I'm hearing mixd messages...
DeleteFingers crossed..🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Beautiful work by those watercolor artists. Good for Laduree for cashing in on Da Vinci mania! That box would make a nice souvenir. Have a wonderful time at the Da Vinci exhibit. Look forward to seeing the blog post about your visit!
ReplyDeleteOooh...thank you for sharing more of the Carnet de Voyage...love seeing the artist’s displays. The blow-ups of their artworks are extraordinary. Somehow the “small” of travel watercolor appeals to me; the wee brushes and paint boxes.
ReplyDeletehello Carol, thanks for your visit on my booth in Clermont -Ferrand, it's always a pleasure to see you. Glad you liked my big WC print, i think it's fun to see it that large, you can dive into it, i like that, I'll buy huge brushes and give a try for huge paintings! Here is a link to my page on the Rendez vous du Carnet de Voyage in Clermont https://www.rendezvous-carnetdevoyage.com/repertoire/juliette-plisson/
ReplyDeleteHope to see you again very soon!!
Juliette
Everything I see and read here is totally fascinating!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you can go to all these places and shows. And you're so generous to share them with us.
I grew up thinking painting with watercolors is the hardest of them mediums.
Thank you so much, Carol!
Love always,
MR
