Roma-Day 3-Spanish Steps

Managed to find an outdoor bar at the top of the Spanish Steps before dinner. The drinks were pricey but my 'Blue Moon' mocktail was soooo good and the view across the steps was a refreshing change

After our evening meal, Joan and I strolled to the Spanish Steps and managed a sketch each. I used my Lamy and a marker here to achieve some tone. We walked back to our hotel and popped into Bar Tritone opposite for a last cuppa and a naughty little pastry or two!

Spanish Steps
Another sketch from the bottom of the Spanish Steps, then a light lunch in Dobar before heading back to the hotel to meet our transfer to the airport.
This is my final sketch in Rome...What a blast! Everything I hoped and so much more. I hope you enjoyed my trip too!
I am working on a couple of pages in this sketchbook of various things I brought home with me from my trip just to finish it off, will post when I am done!

Spanish Steps
We always seemed to end up here at night before heading back to our hotel, so I wanted to visit during the day, with my sketchbook, before flying home.

Spanish Steps
After more strolling and shop window browsing we rested on the Spanish Steps to people watch for a while before walking back to our hotel. By now daylight had passed and I decided to pull out my pale blue Lamy Safari fountain pen I keep filled with Noodlers Walnut ink and grab a quick sketch...my last of the day.
