RDV à 17h30 : pour partager nos dessins, boire un verre et échanger, nous nous retrouverons au Café bar "Le Percy" à l’angle de la rue des Monts et de l’avenue Henri Barbusse (juste à côté de l’arrêt de bus 190 pour Mairie d’Issy les Moulineaux)

It was lovely to get out of Paris for once for a SketchCrawl (la Defense does not count). It was even better so to visit a place that I had never been: the Rodin Museum in Meudon: I have always loved the one in Paris, first as a tourist and now as a resident, and I enjoyed discovering the Meudon version. The grounds were larger and I did not have time to see everything, but I surely would like to return. What inspired me the most was the famous Penseur sculpture situated in the park, much less surrounded with trees than the replica in the museum in Paris. That provided space, peace, and freedom, all favorable ingredients for reflection. And with the town of Boulogne-Billancourt visible from afar, the sculpture had the perfect location for a sketch.

The turnout was great, there must have been 50 or so people sketching at some point, and many unfamiliar. All in all, a wonderful (and sunny) autumn day outside of Paris.
