Versailles , 5" x 7" pastel by Niki Gulley Day 5, Afternoon - Art Trek Paris with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams Thoroughly enjoying the sunshine and this peaceful hidden garden, we scoped out another view and tried to capture more of the sense of being in France in our next sketch. Manicured, organized, and adorned with statues and urns as focal points, this vantage communicated the idea of the French formal garden that I was looking for. At the end of the day, the French groundsman was kind enough to offer us pastel artists fixative for our drawings! That definitely breaks the misconception we have of the French not being friendly! A perfect ending to a perfect day. *** If you would like to come along on one of our upcoming Plein Air Painting / Photography Workshops to Santa Fe, NM Aug. 12 - 18 (see nikigulley.com/art-classes ) or Tuscany, Italy Aug. 31 - Sept. 8 ( visit nikigulley.com/artreks ) , please e-mail...
