We spent a week in Rouen, France. It was the site of this year’s French Urban Sketchers gathering. I’ve come to know many of the artists well, seeing as this was my third year attending. Rouen is a compact little city strewn with many eye-popping gothic churches. It’s also the place where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake. I don’t think most people in France have been there. I am working my way to every corner of the country, so this was a must see for me. Wherever I chose to draw, I found myself surrounded by some of Europe’s most talented illustrators.
