## Caption

Where the trees are, is the Île Rousseau, the last small man made island just before Rhône meets Lake Geneva. This was my workshop location for all three workshops as part of the 7th USk Swiss Symposium. The iconic ferris wheel and the fountain were constantly available but too hard to capture in a workshop that focused on big shapes. So tonight, on the last night of my long Europe trip, I sketched it from a bench. Photos of L’île Rousseau as I walked around it before returning to my hotel. It served me best. #workshop #gouache on the go #ipaintlikeanengineer uskgeneva2025 

Weather has been great and so have the trains. That made all the travel successful, safe and not tiring. Many thanks to sbbcffffs and deutschebahn

Btw, that is a very tanned hand - European summer!!
