It´s been an extremely gray day in Stockholm today, so I made a gray drawing out the window of a little café I had never been to before. I like the contrast between these two buildings, one new(ish) and very strict and one old with odd angles and windows.
12,5 x 13 cm, Lamy Safari with Lexington gray ink and watercolours on some sketchbook paper.

I loved it. I'm trying to greyscale in realistic animal portraits and it is tricky sometimes so I really like that you've done this. It is a good contrast between the old and the new.
It is gray out here too...but your drawing brings the life back!
Even in a grey day and a grey drawing you show a beautiful contrast between the two buildings.
I like your contrasts. (dark/light, new/old). Very nice.
Beautiful work Nina...you make a gray day sparkle!
Ooh fabulous. I love the composition of that, the contrast and the light on the cars - you've got the reflections perfectly and it shows the tone of the sky, so you get a really good feeling of the lighting.
Wonderful contrast! What a great sketch to brighten a gray day!
Great! I like the juxtaposition of the two buildings too.
Very cool.
so, how was the cafe?
gray here, too.
The café was great, checkered table cloths, nice coffee, had their own bakery in the back. Like a classic old-fashioned café, not the new super-slick designed kind. It´s called Weindel´s.
great sketch and very interesting blog, you seem to be pretty busy.
Fabulous.
I love looking at your sketches and thinking of what I imagine Sweden is like. When does it get light in the mornings now?
Sketchcrawl (previous post) sounds fabulous!
you made this gray look beautiful!
