Brought Up to Speed – drawings done since last Spring

Tomorrow begins my drawing trip and I’m excited to get started. Right now I need some rest so I can get up early in the morning. Below are the rest of the sketches since last spring when I began.

West Markt, Amsterdam


This is a view of the West Market as seen through the window of the pizza place across the way. I had the tuna and onion and it was ok. I liked it.

Nadia Hotel, standing on the canal bridge. Somebody was loading furniture into a truck.

Francis Bacon, Amsterdam

The Francis Bacon exhibition. I didn’t go see it. As I sat drawing here, local punk kids entertained themselves scaring pigeons towards the tourists. Life in cities is fun to watch.

Singel Canal and Brouwersgracht. I sat on the lock and watch those long tour boats go by.

Prinsengracht, Amsterdam

Prinsengract. Around 4pm. Lots of people out.

That does it for now. I will leave my computer behind this trip and try to do the rest of this journey with just my phone app.
