This is one of my favorite places in Paris. It was Rodin's home, and he left it to the state for a museum of his work. There's something extra special being in the space where an artist actually did his work.
Plus there's a lovely garden, dotted with his sculptures, where I love to draw when the weather's nice. This was definitely an inside kind of day, but I still had a great time.
These are all Stabilo pen sketches. I'm trying the pens without using any water for wash.
Then I switched over to my Lamy fountain pen plus the Pentel brush pen that has a lighter, warmer black (really a grey) ink.
I love the flourishes in the house itself and how the sculptures look in that setting. This sketch has a little more of the house.
I also took a selfie there, along with the Prodigal Son sculpture I'd sketched earlier.
Here's the main hall. I'm totally tempted to do a block print of it. I love the black and white tiles.
And an Edvard Munch painting of Rodin's work, in the garden of a mutual patron. Two artists I love in one painting. Perfect.
Ok, I'll stop now. But it's my favorite museum in Paris. Please go if you have the chance.
