the Artist

Stephen Travers is an Australian artist residing just outside of Sydney and an occasional visitor to Paris.

Église de la Sainte-Trinité was right next to our AirBnB accommodation in Paris and its tower was a beacon to us each evening as we wearily trudged back to our room. I’ve included in this post an except of my IGTV post of this dra

Wandering between landmarks in London I looked up to see this typical Victorian red brick with white detailing facade. Yet it gave me more problems drawing than many grander structures. The perspective was tricky, and it was different using the tone
I really like this composition the way the lamp posts frame the Arc du Carrousel, my favourite Paris arch. One of my earlier pencil drawings I thought was worth a repost. Busy today with a funeral.
Something a bit different today: a chandelier in Église de la Trinité. I’m amazed by the never ending creativity of the metal work hanging from the ceilings of the churches of Paris. Swipe to see time lapse of both the line work a
A third interior view of Église de la Madeleine in Paris, but this time without the domed recesses of the ceiling, but rather focusing on the columned wall side and the various spaces leading from it. I am posting two videos to IGTV, of the li
