Street Scene in Rome

I am very excited about the Urban Sketchers Symposium that starts tomorrow here in Portland.  In an effort to get "warmed up" I did this sketch of a street scene in Rome from a photo I took last summer.  I am hoping to improve my line quality and get looser with my sketches through what I learn from the symposium.  I'll keep you posted!

  1. This is great. I love the way you've left the people in the foreground without much detail - it draws the eye upwards to the buildings.

    Have a great time at the symposium you lucky bunny :-)
