The last week of our 6 weeks in France we spent in The last week of our 6 weeks in France we spent in Cédric’s family home in Normandy, this little sketch shows a part of the historical farmhouse. #sketchbook #staedtlerpens #koiwatercolors
Another drawing at the Tour de Bos in the Auvergne Another drawing at the Tour de Bos in the Auvergne, meanwhile we’ve moved to Normandy where I did my first drawing today, will be posting again soon. #sketchbook #staedtlerpens #koiwatercolors

We’ve left the Bask county a few days ago and ar We’ve left the Bask county a few days ago and are currently enjoying the silence of the Auvergne mountains. This drawing I made during one of Néo’s afternoon naps at the Tour de Bos, family property of the lovely @blandinesouchaud 
I stayed here too when I spend a first summer hitchhiking through France with Cédric ❤️ and again when I was pregnant with Néo. Now Néo discovers the “castle” himself and he absolutely loves it! #sketchbook #staedtlerpens #koiwatercolors
Camping 🏕 next to a river in the lower Pyrenees Camping 🏕 next to a river in the lower Pyrenees, the riverside is a popular hangout for the local youngsters who dare to jump from the highest edge in all different figures. The lady in the foreground was randomly standing there and figured as a model for me 🙂

Since almost a week we’ve left the Landes region Since almost a week we’ve left the Landes region and we travelled through Biarritz to the Bask country in the most eastern province of the French part called Soule. Here we’re camping in the lower Pyrenees next to a river. I haven’t done much drawin since, its very hot and too hot to sit somewhere and draw for too long. This quick capture of the Chateau Fort of Mauleon-Licharre I did in 45 melting minutes. #sketchbook #staedtlerpens #koiwatercolors

While Néo was quite sick for a couple of days, we While Néo was quite sick for a couple of days, we were bound to the camping for most of the time, keeping him cool and allowing for long naps in the forest. Our hammock makes camping in the forest even better and I had a bit of time to portrait my beloved while reading. Luckily Néo recovered after 4 days and today we’re all packed on the road again to Biarritz.

Poor Néo has been ill the past few days having an Poor Néo has been ill the past few days having an intense fever and so we spend most of the time in the shade in our hammock on the camp site. So this was my view yesterday. I usually draw people from a photo which allows me to be way more accurate, but drawing people while they’re “live” is a whole different game! Not too happy with it but progress is more interesting than perfect so decided to post it anyways.

Carroussel on the boulevard at Lacanau. You might Carroussel on the boulevard at Lacanau. You might wonder if I was there at 5 in the morning or so since you see no people nor the thing seems to move, but I just left the out because of complexity. I should actually practice more drawing people into my sketches and drawing movement, for which I’m now reading a book by Gabriel Campanario on how to draw people and movement in urban sketching. Let’s hope for improvement haha 🙂

As for this camping: we’re unfortunately the only tent 🏕 in the middle of all the ugly beasts called camping cars 🚐 Nonetheless, we have a view on the lake so we don’t mind so much. And camping cars can be an interesting drawing topic!
