Baltic Adventure Part 3; Sketching in a Tallinn Courtyard

Tallinn is amazing. The old city is gorgeous, the new city is beautiful and bustling with friendly people, and the food. Oh the food. I could beets for the rest of my life and be so happy.

We’ve been here for a few days now, so I thought I’d take a bit of time to sketch in the courtyard of our hotel.

Starting with a little graphite volume study.

Adding the water-soluble pastel.

Wet paint.

It’s still pretty chilly, so I’m wrapping up with this sketch here and heading back inside.

The plan is to translate these to my Fredrix roll canvas later on tonight, once we get back from a dinner which I hope involves more beets.
