And finally...

Last week I spend five days in Paris. The outside temperature was not not very inviting to do any drawings at all, so most of the sketches are a bit messy and impatiently done.
Before I left I accidently ordered the wrong size of moleskine watercolour note book (9 x 14cm instead of 13 x 21cm). But after getting used to the small format I found it quite useful to have a sketchbook that fits in the pockt of my coat.
Most of the time I was kind of walking an drawing the same time, trying to concentrate on the essential elemtens. Looking back i don´t know why I did spend more time in cafes to draw, but I guess I was just to curious about walking around the city and exploring different places. I definitely need to come back in summer...
