Draw Tip Tuesdays - How I Sketched This Italian Scene

Buongiorno from Italy! In this Draw Tip Tuesday, I take you along on a coffee and sketch date in the heart of Orvieto. Sitting in Piazza del Popolo, I grab my fountain pen and sketch the scene around me: rugged buildings, parasols, passing people, and dramatic skies. I didn't have a tripod with me, so I just made snapshots of my sketch as it evolved, and I'll give you tips along the way. I share how I build the drawing using negative space, how I work fast when people might leave, and how just a splash of color can bring a scene to life. Plus, I talk about my love for coffee and sketch dates during travel workshops. Want to join me in Spain this year?
