France 2019

In May a small group of artists returned to Tours to sketch with a group of French artists. This was organized by Stéphane Prévot, who lives in Tours and is the proprietor of

Atelier Turner

Our project was supported by the Sister City Groups of Tours & Minneapolis. Sketching with the group was inspiring, we all had certain styles and approaches to drawing. We exchanged ideas, techniques, and perspectives. It was a very powerful experience to work together and to see how the work progressed. 

The above photos show some of the sites in the main center of Tours.
