Sketch in the city


Pont St Benezet, Avignon

A couple of images of last month's 35th Sketch Crawl on Saturday 21st April (see more images here) to announce our next Sketch in the City event  today Saturday 19th May, this time not in Avignon but in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, meet in front of the Tourist Office at 9:30 AM.  No need to register in advance, just turn up at said time and place with your sketch book and pencils and we'll sketch around together. The Saturday antiques market will provide a great first subject. Come and join us!

Deux images du 35ème Sketch Crawl qui a eu lieu le mois dernier le samedi 21 avril (voir d'autres images ici)  pour vous annoncer notre prochaine rando-croquis  ce matin samedi 19 mai 2012, non pas à Avignon cette fois mais à Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, devant l'office du tourisme à 9h30. Pas besoin de vous inscrire, venez simplement à l'heure dite avec votre carnet de croquis et vos crayons, nous dessinerons ensemble. Le marché à la brocante du samedi nous fournira un excellent premier sujet. Venez nous rejoindre !

    Now wait a second...is this your sketch ??? If so, wow ! I'm sure I had no idea you drew too... as well as doing all the photography here...

    And the sketch crawl site is full of fine sketches too ! Lots of fun with this post...

    Can't help but wonder why no one ever bothered to re-build that bridge though...

    Owen yes the sketch is mine.

    As for bothering to re-build the bridge, Louis the Fourteenth is first to blame - he visited Avignon when the bridge was already crumbling, declared it was a beautiful city but never spared a cent for its bridge.

    Sur le pont! We sang the song in primary school and I dont think I have ever really studied the real pont. Lovely sketch.

    Love your shots! Sorry I been so quiet these last couple weeks, I’ve been really ill (now finally diagnosed with Whooping Cough even though I was immunized) and have had a very rough week.

    Il y manque le soleil - à mon avis - et tout serait parfait !!! ;-)
    Très bel endroit pour faire des roughs, s'essayer à inventer un nouveau Pont d'Avignon !!! ;-)

    Bises

    Wow! Great!! Bravo!!!

    My kids just bought me some equipment for sketching, water colours... for my birthday. Now I have to learn! (Avignon is a bit far for regular visits.)

    Tu as un joli coup de plume et un souple et léger mouvement de pinceau. Tu as bien saisi les proportions, et je me demande... qu'est ce qui a donc tant attiré ton oeil dans la partie creuse du pilier qui semble l’habitacle ancien d'une roue ? Tu as sans doute voulu en rendre le volume.

    Je ne sais pas Cergie, peut-être que j'ai en effet eu la main un peu lourde en attirant trop l'oeil sur cet étonnante partie creuse du pilier. Je ne crois pas qu'elle correspondait à une roue. Je me demande si ce n'était pas purement décoratif.

    Elle est de vous l'aquarelle ?
    En tout cas, l'artiste a un vrai talent !
