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.
Daily Sketch practice

I think it still needs some hashes for shadows, but I stop here.

Using a new pocket size sketch book, pincel and water-color; it is a quite challenge to mix colors on a thin paper. Here is another Daily Sketch challenge “The Tiger “. The paper is observing the water and in some places the paper get damaged.
