Travel Sketches: France

A series of sketches from my time traveling through France in October, 2018. We visited Paris, Lyon, and Aix-en-Provence over the course of 9 days and I tried to paint as many of the sights as I could while not wanting to sacrifice the limited time we had for sightseeing. You can watch my vlog of this trip here.

For this trip, I carried an A5 sketchbook, a small travel watercolor palette, and a limited palette of colored pencils. For each painting, I tried to limit myself to just 3 colors, which kept the drawings cohesive and allowed me to be more free with my painting style.

Postcards with some of these pieces can be found here.
