Paris in Watercolour

Giving equal due to Parisian culture and its architecture, this guidebook collects five affecting scenes of the City of Light. Loved by so many travelers around the world, the streets and structures included here celebrate a view of human history in the best of times—the Eiffel Tower in its elegant ascent against a blue sky; the staid French renaissance grandeur of the Louvre; the Arc de Trimphe in its never-ending glory; the twin Gothic spires of Notre Dame cathedral; and a small street café tucked away among the slopes of Montmartre. Adding life to each scene with a population of trees, birds, and people, this guide will challenge aspiring painters and remind those bound for France—or bound to return—of its splendid scenery. Six reusable tracing papers are included, removing the difficulties of freehand drawing and keeping the focus on the exercise of watercolor painting.
