Urban sketching has been fun last year and is equally fun this year too. I explored some new set ups for me last weekend and wrote a tiny post about them.

Because I want to pack lightly but also be most versatile for different occasions. So it's tricky to know and estimate what needs to go in my bag and the combination of supplies.

Now I have to plan and organize this years hike in #Piedmont
We will start in Alagna and probably finish #hiking in Susa. We will skip a few stages along the way because we don't feel confident enough to complete them.
I've already prepared my #watercolor travelkit. This time I'm using warm and cool primary colors. And I'll complete These with my favorite colors from #UrbanSketching
My fontain pen, a small mixing palette, a ZikZag booklet by Hahnemühle and a water brush are also part of it.
Day 17 - our last day #hiking in #Piedmont last summer.
We finished our hiking tour in Alagna. We had to catch the bus there on time, so there aren't any drawings of Alagna.
I finished my small folded travel #sketchbook at home. I made it myself by folding #watercolor paper (A3) several times to create a small booklet with 8 pages. (A6) Absolutely perfect and sufficient for my first #UrbanSketching attemps.
I had to travel to the lower right corner of the continental shape of the country. The humid atmosphere takes me aback when drawing there. So, I went with it and made these ghostly #urbansketching in the airport yesterday.
Thursday's meetup of #uskdortmund at Propsteihof. Impulse control exercise for Cleo 🦮: successful. Concentration exercise for me 🧠: failed. #pleinair #Dortmund #Ruhrgebiet #uskdo #urbansketching #urbansketchers #coloredpencildrawing #sketchbook #FineArt #art #kleineKunstklasse
Day 16 #hiking in #Piedmont last summer.
It rained steadily from morning until noon that day. Time to test our rain gear.
Then the sky cleared and we reached Rima and the B&B Taglioferro in beautiful sunshine.After our arrivel we went to a cafe, where we could gradually observe the arrival of other hikers. We chatted with them for a long time, so I didn't get around to drawing #pleinair

Now… #ICE is delayed by one hour.
#Urbansketching is calming me down 😕
Thank you #DeutscheBahn !
