Hangar Daytrip to Tourtour

It is already some time ago that a small group of drawing enthusiasts went to the lovely village of Tourtour for the last mini-trip of the year! It was Friday 21 September, 9am when we drove away from the Hangar and 10.30 we arrived in this typical Provençal picturesque village with lovely streets and nice terrasses! We started with a cup of coffee...

In the meantime we also checked the best spots to draw. We were spoiled for choice, Tourtour is  high on the list of  ‘les plus beaux villages de France’ for a reason! 

I don't have pictures of all the drawings and will happily add them later if the artists send them to me!

 Patrick and Brenda both started with the arch with the bell tower(ette)

 Brenda's version, awesome as always!

 Patricks' - completely different in style!

 There was a tree in the middle of the parc that was losing its leaves and Patrick caught that in his second drawing

 

Of course Bev, Karin & Sylvia created drawings in the morning too. But no pics yet! Anyway - here's a record of them doing what they like best: 

Around 12.30 we sat down for a lovely lunch in a local non-touristy restaurant. The food was fabulous, so was the wine - and the service, the company, in short -the general atmosphere!

Around 2pm we went back to sketching and drawing with renewed energy!

There were also excellent drawings by Bev and Karin - if they read this: please send pics of your drawings to me and I will add them and re-post!



More minitrips to look forward to in 2019! So watch this space...
