This is something I always dreamed of - sitting a a cafe in Italy and sketching the sights. Last week I had the lovely chance to do just that and it was divine. I sat there contently observing the passersby and enjoying a spritz and a bruschetta and had a blast. Along with this cafe experience I took the opportunity to look our of my Tuscan window at Dievole and sketch the cypress trees. I'm in love with how this makes me feel.
Sketching is a skill - you can learn to do this with just a little practice. See my 2027 workshop in Tuscany and join us to put your pen to your paper and make your hear happy.
