Katherine Tyrrell travels with a sketchbook - in France
France is a favourite place to draw and paint.
Especially since there are opportunities to take a 'kitchen sink' approach to art materials if I take the car across the channel! I got back to drawing and painting - after a very, very long break - in Provence in 1989 and have never looked back. What happened on my trips during my trip to Paris, Normandy and the Loire is summarised in my blog pages:click on an image to see a larger image or a slide show
