Porto Sketchbook Flip Through by Lis Watkins

In this video I look through a sketchbook I made at the Urban Sketchers Symposium in Porto, Portugal in the summer of 2018. I used a Stillman and Birn Beta sketchbook, watercolours and fine liners to make the drawings. I always enjoy travel drawing and I tried to use this book as more of a journal to record the trip.
The artists that I mention in the video are:
Inma Serrano
Simo Capecchi
Veronica Lawlor
Fred Lynch
They all have Instagram accounts which are well worth checking out!

Thanks Anne! Sketchbooks are great for evoking all those memories. Hope to draw with you this year and create some more 😊

[@lizparry5559]

Very inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely sketchbook

[@LisWatkins]

Thank you so much, Liz!

[@bobbysandoval2911]

Amazing that you filled this sketchbook in 2018, and you can still remember all the details of the workshops versus what you did on your own... Thank you so much for sharing! And yes, please keep sharing!

[@LisWatkins]

Thank you! I think that when you spend time drawing a place it sort of becomes imbedded in your memory more. That’s one of the great things about taking a sketchbook with you when you travel 🙂

I love to see your work and sketchbooktours Lis! I would love to see a process video of one of your sketches. Greetings x

[@LisWatkins]

Thank you! Yes, working on a process video but it is taking a while…

[@urbansketch]

So good and beautiful painting !! I like your style, nice window painting on 1:10, two men and drink sketching on 1:31, church, boats, empty Sardine can on 1:48, and traditional boats drawing on 1:59 !!! I like your people drawing around 2:41, free style, loose sketching !!! Loose drawing again around 3:04, 3:53, interesting lines !!! The last one, plane home is also so good !!! Awesome sketchbook tour !!! ❤❤❤👍😁
