Salon du Carnet de Voyage

For the second year I was invited to participate in this wonderful annual event. It’s something that I have looked forward to all year and it didn’t disappoint.

Meeting other carnettistes, sketchers and enthusiasts is so much fun and so inspiring. Running a workshop for twelve talented ladies was an important part of my weekend.
I have to say that the subject I planned was really a little bit ambitious but after a few tours of the table and a little encouragement the results were really amazing!

just for fun…

After a lovely family walk on a Sunday very near home we walked past some beautiful old cabanons and old farm buildings that I’d never seen before – not five minutes from home. So Monday morning I was back there with my sketchbook and here’s some on site sketches and the finished pages.

You can find a short video of me painting the small ruin on my new YouTube channel

LOURMARIN

The first weekend of September in Lourmarin.

For the first time I participated in this amazing event, a sketchbook festival grouping together artists and sketchers from France and Europe. It was so nice to meet fellow sketchers exhibiting and all the people who had come to see us.

The atmosphere and organization was brilliant.

I ran a workshop, that I could have filled twice over, where we sketched vignettes of typical Provençal subjects. The hard working participants turned out great work in a very limited time and with a howling Mistral wind.

Great fun! I was even featured in the newspaper……

Ended the Saturday evening with a great pizza with friends then back to the camper and the cute campsite.

Carnets de Voyage en Provence 2023

A wonderful weekend at the end of February spent in the company of 60 other “carnettistes” , that is sketchers, showing our sketchbooks to the many, many appreciative visitors .

The other sketchers were from all over France and Europe too and like me they had travelled and sketched all over the world.

Such an amazing experience that I was proud to participate in.
