As soon as this sweet smell hit my nose, I knew I was near a crêperie.  Around the corner, there it was, a crêpe restaurant with red umbrellas.  While a crêpe can be bought from a street vendor and eaten right away, it is nice sometimes to sit down in a restaurant to have it as a meal and/or a dessert.

The sheer number of crêperies in Paris alone says a lot about how popular crêpes are here.  They are simple, quick and delicious -- it's hard to resist the temptation of this warm, savory, classy fast food.  In fact I think these are also important ingredients for a watercolor painting that is loose and luminous: simple (design), quick (brushstrokes), and delicious (juicy colors).


          

To paint loose, think crêpe.                 Finish.
