Sketches From Italy



We spent a little over a week traveling through Italy on our european odyssey so I was lucky to get a good bit of sketching done while we were there. The big cities were great but those little towns built on the mountains next to the sea are where it's at.




This sketch of the bar in Florence was the point where I felt like drawing from life was starting to become a little bit more natural for me again. The militaristic work ethic of RISD drawing courses really loosened me up and I haven't felt that sort of comfort and confidence in my life drawing since then. It really took me a good month and a half of drawing almost every day on this trip to start to feel that looseness again.
