I finally got almost a whole day of drawing today, and my hands have been itching for drawing for a while now. Bookbinding is fun (see earlier posts), it´s almost too fun, it´s easy to get caught up in it, trying out new techniques, new covers, modifying book models... But in the end I always long to start using the paper inside those books.
Went for a walk around the city center in Stockholm today, and sat down for a coffee. This is the view from my little table outside the café. I love spring, it makes drawing outside so much easier.

What a marvelous sketch...terrific job
Excellent, as usual! Fantastic building.
So glad to see another Stockholm building sketch! Love it.
Nina,
You seem to translate complicated buildings like that onto paper so effortlessly. You skills are always a wonder to behold!
QUESTION: Is that Fabriano cold press or hot press, 200gsm? I would guess from the look of it, hot press.
I have done some book binding myself, but I would have loved to sit in on that class. Travel fare is a bit high, though.
I absolutely LOVE the negative spaces you have used to simplify the view, Nina. You teach me so much!
ah. härligt att få se ninaskisser igen!
underbart skissat, härliga färger och snyggt med de negativa husen som bildar ram, kul idé!
I love, love, love this one. The heavy edges are great. I think I might want to try that look myself. Beautiful and inspirational work, as always!
Nina,
this is amazing, I agree with the others the negative spaces are awesome! Another fantastic drawing!
How do you like the FA hot press? I am using Arches CP right now and want to find a HP for my next book
Beautiful drawing, Nina. It is great to get outside again isn't it! I look forward to seeing more of your drawings of Stockholm this spring and summer.
I love the composition and the sun you don't show but lights up the whole scene, great drawing!
Your windows thrill me. Talent!
What a terrific sketch = I especially like how you've put in the silhouettes of the buildings in the foreground...
amazing!!!:)
Simply superb! There are so many great elements here but I'd say it's your line style that I am most in captivated by.
