This Week’s Travel Stop is Bordeaux, France 🇫🇷 ✨
I’m extra excited about this one because I’ve actually been here ! I visited Bordeaux last year, and it completely stole my heart. The light, the stone buildings, the rhythm of the streets, the little details you only notice when you slow down… it’s such a beautiful place to wander with curious eyes.
Over the week, I’ll be doing my own sketching from this location and I’ll share my results with you as I go. France has such a special place in my heart, and I can’t wait to reconnect with it through drawing ✏️💙
🌍 Ways you can join in this week:
There’s no right or wrong way just choose what feels good.
- ✏️ Sketch directly from Street View
- 🎨 Paint or collage inspired by shapes, colours, or textures
- 🖊️ Doodle small details doors, windows, signs, shadows
- 📝 Journal about how the place makes you feel
- 👀 Simply observe and notice (that counts too)
You don’t need to “finish” anything. This is about exploration, not perfection.
📖 A little future dream… 💭🤔
As we move through Around the World in 80 Sketches, I’m starting to imagine what it might look like as a book, a proper coffee-table style collection of our travels.
And yes… I would absolutely love to feature some of you amazing creators in it 💛
Nothing formal yet just a seed being gently planted. 🌱
For now, grab your pencils, take a slow wander through Bordeaux, and see what calls to you.
I can’t wait to see where this place takes us ✨
