My wife and I are coming in November. She likes to collect pencil or ballpoint drawings of local scenes by local artists selling in outdoor marketplaces. She's managed to find them all over the world but we've never seen someone selling something like that in St Martin. Anyone remember seeing something like that? We're staying in Orient village but have a car so can go all over. Thanks.

There used to be a kind of bazaar, for want of a better word, in the square at Orient Village. I think it was on Friday nights? We got a signed and numbered print by a local artist there, a few years ago. Also, check out the market in Marigot. I think that is normally Wednesday and Saturday? I got some hand painted tiles there.

Of course, St. Martin also has some very famous artists, including Roland Richardson and Ruby Bute. Their works are more expensive, but if you're not familiar with them, they do some wonderful work.

We purchased small watercolor prints a few years ago at the Marigot market. I think it may have been before the last hurricane so not sure if the artist is still around. I thought she said she had a small shop in Marigot too. I think I saw someone last November, too, because I bought a small notebook that had a tiny print embedded on the front.

Some nice watercolors in a place in Marina Royal. Can't remember name.

Antoine Chapon does beautiful watercolors.

Pencil or pen, I haven't personally seen here.
