Luis sketches in Stockholm. |
I met Nina Johansson and Luis Simöes from Urban Sketchers last weekend, It was a very inspirational meeting. We sat outside a café on Nybrogatan and chatting but mostly sketched. I'm new to this Urban Sketching thing so it was a bit difficult just drawing whatever was in front of you. In the end I wanted to draw the shop opposite but Luis was in the way so I drew him too, it was fun! Luis told me to use better paper, which I took onboard. I also learned that composition is so important when Sketching, a quick drawing will never look good if it is squeezed into the confines of a page, not given enough white space to breath in other words.
Luis Simöes is currently on a World Sketching Tour, check out his blog and see where he has been sketching and where he plans to visit.
Nice to see your sketch here too, David! It was fun to hang out with Luís and you for a bit. Charlotte came along later, we drew for a while at Stureplan. :)
