The French House, Waterloo. Sydney




Coffee, cake and good company at The French House, Dank Street, Waterloo. I drew the pen lines whilst seated outside under the fabulous balcony and then finished the colours later when I returned home. The chandelier proved a challenge - trying to see details whilst staring into lights is just not a good idea! I love the grandeur of the decor at this cafe. Its decadent but helps me dream of travelling to see beautiful French architecture again one day.

  5. So beautiful! You probably saw a lot of black dots after staring in to the lights :)
    I've never really tried using water color yet, but I always admire others' work when they do.

    1. Thanks Simona. I stayed away from watercolor for many years but it seems to work so well for this type of sketching when I'm out and about - literally a splash of colour that dries quickly.
