13 days Sketching in London 2024
I visited London in December 2024 with my family and kids. We have been there for two weeks [13 days]. I used to wake up on 5 A.M (or so), moving to the living room in the apartment with a book to read and my minimalist art bag.
My Art Bag:
A small (7in x 4.5in x 2.5in) bag, the bag is for mobile and passport, but I use it for my art. It contains:
– Sketchbook.
– Water colour metal palette with 3 brush.
– And black Pens : 0.05m, 0.3m, 0.8, and white gel pen, and mechanical pencil.
The bag/case is a mobile/Passport travel case, I use it for my art.
Metal colour palette, it comes with 14 colors, but I add the middle raw and divide the head to small squares so I can mix more colours.
Here are 13 sketches that I drew in London, all were under low-lights sitting on the couch 🛋 having my morning coffee ☕️.
More sketches in the blog.

The image displays a traditional clay water pot (or jar) with a lid, commonly known as a [Heeb or Zeer] in some regions, used for cooling water naturally. An aluminum mug rests on top of the lid. The pot is placed on a stand or stool draped with a piece of coarse, woven fabric, possibly burlap or jute. This is usually placed in a corner in the corridor, and all the family drinks from it.
