Sketchy scrawlcrawl from Paris

Hi all,
I'm Lynsey from SCBWI New York in Paris for the summer. I've loved seeing everyone's unique location choices and what came out of the solstice prompts. There was so much inspiration! I met up with the Paris group at Cafe Lola in the am and spent the day sketching on location.
Afterwards, Gudrun and I attempted to conquer Notre Dame in a misty, grey fog.
We obviously needed chocolat chaud to warm us back up and sat at Le Pain Quotidien sipping, people watching and sketching- here's the lavendar building across the way.
Next, we hit up Hotel De Ville only to find construction and hay piles, so I drew the lovely lamps.
We ended the day drinking and dining- so overall a perfect summer solstice. :)

    these are charmingly bright sketches Lynsey, the cafe view really captures the atmosphere of Paris, the delicate washes on the Notre Dame facade is just lovely.

    Just what I thought, too. Beautiful atmospheric drawings!
