I did a bunch of different versions of the @rijksmuseum. It’s tricky, figuring out how much to simplify a very complicated building like this. One new thing I tried here: using a grey pen instead of a black one for many of the windows & other features. So they’re still there, just pushed back a bit. Not so many black lines competing for attention. . . . #uskamsterdam #usknl #urbansketchers #usk #urbansketching #travelsketch #travelsketchbook #travelsketching #watercolorsketch #cityscape #citysketch #rijksmuseum #sketchwalker #dailysketch #dailydrawing #draweveryday #painteveryday https://www.instagram.com/p/CgpAC6_rpCV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A watercolor and colored pencil sketch from a day in Holland when we went on a little tour of Giethoorn, a canal-lined village right out of a picture book. We were there on a rainy day, which is unfortunate for riding around in a boat, but at least the rain kept some of the tourists away! . . . #travelsketcher #travelillustration #urbansketchers #urbansketching #usknl #travelsketchbook #sketchbookdrawing #watercolorsketch #watercolorsketchbook #watercolorsketching #drawyourday #illustratedjournal https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci-uVswPG7i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

From a visit to @zaanseschans, a little village along the Zaan river in Holland that is made up of old windmills and wooden buildings that were brought there as a way of preserving them. Now they’re filled with little craft demonstrations for the tourists -you can watch all kinds of traditional Dutch products being made—cheese, wooden shoes, etc—and there was even a little paint-making mill, although we didn’t really have time to see it. We did, however, have time for fresh stroopwafel dipped in chocolate, so I think we did all the Dutch things. . . . #urbansketchers #travelsketching #inkandwatercolor #lineandwash #usknl #travelsketch #urbansketching #watercolorillustration #theydrawandtravel #travelillustration (at Zaanse Schans -Holland -Netherland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiDyuWHPulE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Last day in Amsterdam! We had a fabulous canal cruise last night with @rederijdewester and I can tell you that seeing Amsterdam from the water is the way to go. . . . #urbansketch #urbansketching #usk #uskamsterdam #usknl #travelsketch #travelsketchbook #travelsketching #travelsketcher #sketchbookartist #inkandwatercolor #travelwatercolor #cityscape #citysketch #iamsterdam #amsterdamart #travelingartist (at Amsterdam, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChnMFQarGvn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We went to The Hague today for an antiques & book market—no books worth buying, but the city was lovely, and there’s a fabulous beach just down the road! That, plus some amazing museums, including a book museum! Well with the trip. . . . #urbansketchers #usknl #travelsketch #travelsketchbook #travelsketching #travelsketcher #urbansketching #usk (at Mauritshuis) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChiQ4Iir3Wc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another view of the little pedestrian bridge at the end of my street…I think I’ve now drawn this thing from every possible perspective! . . . #uskamsterdam #usknl #urbansketchers #urbansketching #urbansketch #travelsketch #travelsketchbook #travelsketching #travelsketcher #usk #sketchwalker #iamsterdam #amsterdamart #cityscape #cityscapepainting #citysketch (at Amsterdam, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChfPLGGMG_M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So I was sitting with @thesneakyartist this morning (please go listen to his podcast if you haven’t already! Fabulous in-depth interviews with artists) and I told him that I’m really trying to be very minimal with color and avoid adding that last stroke of color I’m always so tempted to add…and then I got home and added more color. Couldn’t help myself. I like it this way though. . . . #urbansketchers #urbansketching #urbansketcher #usknl #uskamsterdam #travelsketch #travelsketchbook #travelsketching #travelsketcher #citysketch #citysketching #citysketcher #cityscape #iamsterdam (at Café de Blaffende Vis) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChaeHu_Lqmy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
