I have recently been on a few romantic weekend breaks to Paris over the last few months, visiting the other half who is currently working out there. I love every thing about Paris, but most of all is it's artistic culture. It is a beautiful city and so inspiring to draw. I have a few more sketches to come, as I'm currently finishing off a couple of inspirational drawings of the city and it's environment. But, for now I wanted to get the ball rolling, so here is my first 'Paris Post'.
It is the view from the apartment window. I loved the contrast from the bright city lights below to the dark moonlit sky.
I originally took a photo (TOP RIGHT) on my phone, but it never gave the sight and colours justice, so thats why i decided to play the hand of God and pick the colours myself. Ok, so the picture ended up being more of my imagination towards the end, but in my head, thats how i remember it. (TOP LEFT). Below is a close up section of my painting.
Keep a look out, i'll get "Paris - Part 2" up as soon as all the details and trimmings are finished. :)
Thanks again to all the bloggers out there who follow my blog and keep on coming back!! You guys ROCK!!!
All support and comments are always appreciated!
Will be back soon!!
Bye for now,

The Cat adds a perfect touch. Your Imagination is always better than "reality".
I agree, your painting looks way better than the photograph.

What a lovely atmosphere you've captured in your piece! Looking forward to more Paris inspired art.

Very beautiful atmosphere in this illustration. Very nice works on your blog.
Haha! Found it! :) you know the sketch I did is 3 minutes away from the Arludik gallery where you took the photos with Glen Keane!
On my side of the world everything is going great, I just started working for Cartoon Network as a storyboard artist on Gumball which means I might move to London pretty soon! I'm actually working with Matt Timms whom you might see this week end at CTN expo. Congrats for your first artbook btw! Take care and enjoy sunny California!
