Amsterdam

Hotel Pulitzer and Ann Frank’s House

My flight was ok and the the crew was nice. Thanks CX271. I was out walking the canals of Amsterdam by 9. First stop was Roam’s for pancakes.  But, to my disappointment, Roam’s opens at 10. So I drew this

243 Herengracht

Was a good week. I’m heading to the airport in 10 minutes for a noon flight, but managed to get in half an hour of sketching after breakfast. I like this building. It’s a little quirky and romantic. The balconies

Bridges and Restaurants

Landed in Amsterdam this morning after a long 12 hour flight that was delayed in Hong Kong for bad weather. I spent most of the day trying to get motivated draw, but fatigue got the best of me and I

This morning was cold and windy. Big gray clouds hung low and heavy. I road for several kilometers out of Amsterdam heading North. I didn’t feel like drawing and was really just killing time till my train was ready later

Night Watch Sunday Morning

Got into Amsterdam yesterday, but too late to want to do anything. But this morning I got up with the sun (8ish) and walked to the Rijks Museum. I was there soon after opening. I took the lift to the

Peach Pancakes and Hot Chocolate

I had my peach pancakes as intended. And after eating them, and drinking my hot chocolate, I chose to rest for a while and draw some more. Here is a sketch looking out the front window through the hanging Christmas

Demolition on Rokin and Spaarpotsteeg

I got into Amsterdam just before lunch. The weather said there was a chance of thunderstorms and winds at 20-30mph. It has been gusty, but not that bad. Except, as chance would have it, it rained ice on me as

Morning stroll in Amsterdam

I was up before the sun with my sketchbook and headed into Amsterdam Central. It has warmed a little in the last few hours so I could feel my fingers when drawing. This sketch is of a construction site along

September in Holland

I just arrived in Holland about two hours ago and am on the train to Eindhoven. Despite being jet lagged I managed to draw this sketch. The beauty is that I can recognize what I drew after 12 hours of
