Despite the rain (! ) around noon, 9 sketchers showed up at the Square Barye for our Paris SketchCrawl yesterday. By 2:00 pm the clouds had literally parted over our meeting point, and we even managed to find ourselves in a little patch of sun!

The weather held up nicely for the rest of the afternoon. There were a few familiar faces, and some newcomers as well. Once again, lots to talk about, lots to draw…

We lost two participants along the way, but a final member joined us for the last leg. So in all told, 10 participants for this Saturday’s crawl.

July in Paris: Quite a few people wrote to say that they wouldn’t be able to make it this time, summer vacations and all. So much has been said about getting together again for more “unofficial” SketchCrawls. If you are ever interested in joining us, please check back for more information on our group (to come).

Thanks again everyone for a wonderful day, and hope to see you again soon!

Cheers,
Kim

Malgre la pluie vers midi, 9 croqueurs bien motives se sont presentes au Square Barye pour notre SketchCrawl hier. A 14h, les nuages se sont literalement ecartes au dessus de notre point de rdv, et on se trouvait meme dans un peu du soleil !

Le temps etait bien agreable pour la reste de l’apres-midi. Certains membres du groupe se reconnaissaient, d’autres sont venus pour leurs premiers fois. A nouveau, plein des bons discours, bon rencontres, bons dessins…

On a perdu vue de deux SketchCrawlers pendant le trajet, mais vers le fin on a gagne un ! Donc en total, 10 personnes pour ce jour.

Juillet a Paris : Vous etiez plusieurs a m’ecrire que vous ne pouviez pas assister cette-fois ci (entre vacances et autres). On a bien discute la possibilite de se rejoindre pour des sorties “inofficielles”, pour dessiner un peu autour des “grands” SketchCrawls. Si cela vous interesse, merci d’y retourner pour plus d’infos sur notre groupe (a venir).

Merci encore a tous, et a tres bientot j’espere !

Some photos for now. We moved around quite a bit. Unfortunately, I was not able to get everyone (sorry!).
Quelques photos pour l’instant. Comme on s’est deplace pas mal, je n’ai pas pu avoir tout le monde (mes excuses !)

Here are Irene's sketches from the day / voici les croquis d'Irene :

OK. Here are mine. . I spent most of the day flitting about. There were too many wonderful things to draw, and I didn't get to any of them!!!!

I will go back and do some more another day...

-- hm, Kim, unfortunately I can't see any sketches here.

Maybe you want to take a look here again:

Bonne chance,

Thorsten, this is strange. Everything shows fine here - I refreshed the page, tested in a different browser (that's never been to sketchcrawl before), cleared my cache, tried again...

Everything is showing up fine each time. I uploaded the pics AND the sketches all the same way. Any idea why just the sketches aren't showing up chez toi?

Looks fine on this side of the pond, folks--nice sketches.

Phew! Thank you gaelwriter !

Here are Vero's sketches from the day : les croquis de Vero :

congratulations, all sketchers from paris, your works and stories look great from this side of the world. love all sketches as they seem to strike a certain chord of my memory of paris, ages ago...
wish to be back there sometime again and cheers, once again, congrats, all paris sketchers..

lovely sketches from Paris - you certainly drew a wide varity of subjects ! If I am ever in Paris (dream on ) I will join you . a great group

Very nice sketches to all of you, i could make it at this time, to much late work but i will definately do it next time and post my sketches. But you guys did a very good drawing day.

Keep the good work up.

Thank you asnee and alissa! It would be great to have you join us someday!

And continuing with the sketches as they come in...
Next up Jacques / les croquis de Jacques :

Pari réussi Kim, bravo et félicitations aux "croqueurs parisiens"! Compte sur moi pour le prochain RV!!

Salut tous/Hi everybody !

Ha super les croquis de Jacques, et bien je passe juste après, avec ma maigre contribution, mais c'est surtout pour dire que j'étais là..

Déjà les premiers croquis où je me suis amusé avec le matériel que Kim m'a gentillement prêtée : un crayon aquarelle gris avec un stylo-pinceau pour passer l'eau dessus.
Here are a few skecthes I made with an aquarel pencile and brush with water ->

Et voici quelques dessins en vrac, comme j'ai l'habitude de faire.. mais grâce à Jacques j'ai compris comme il été nécessaire d'être construit jusque dans sa mise en page et la manière de dessiner. Merci Monsieur Jacques pour tes dessins !
Here are some quick sketches catched at a bar of Paris or on a bridge ->


Merci à tous/Thank you every body, I hope you like it !!
Cheers,
A.

Bravo Adrien, continue à emprunter le matériel de Kim, avec les conseils Jacques tu as fait des merveilles! Cette aquarelle noir/gris apporte beaucoup de nuances sans rien enlever au dessin! Je vais m'y mettre aussi! Merci à un de ces jours, Blandine

Awesome results everyone.
