Italian Architecture
Quick sketches using Noodler inks and watercolour working from stills on a DVD.
Attempting to simplyfy difficult architecture in preparation for my Italian trip next year so I can work fast and get as much into my sketchbooks as possible during the proposed day trips.
I imagine the ink sketches above will be particularly useful for super quick sketches or sketches where I have to stand as they require no watercolour, just the flick of a water brush to produce a few values. I'll certainly be taking more than one Lamy Safari pen with me, more than one coloured ink.

We must have both been uploading our Italian sketches at the same time. Yours look wonderful with just one practice. As you say, I need to simplify, but then I can't see me going in for such quantity of works when we are out there. Luv J - miss you already.
Super sketches! I'm curious to know - how long did each one take you?
hi anita!compliments:love your sketches..as usual!italian architecture changes a lot from one region to another..but hope you find more images to show us! ^-^ (Naples or Sicily too..for example are full of interesting details)
Lovely sketches, Anita! A great idea to sketch from DVD stills...must try that ~ :)
Fantastic practices, Anita! I'm sure they'll be very useful for quick sketches in your next trip to Italy
Good work
Thank you all!
