During my vacation in San Diego, I decided to spend some time sketching at beautiful Balboa Park. This place is full of fascinating architecture, lovely gardens, and charming corners that are perfect for urban sketching.

Here are five wonderful spots I explored with my sketchbook. If you like my sketch trips, here is my post from previous San Diego sketch trip. See my big watercolor set here. Casa del Prado
Halloween is a wonderful time to explore the neighborhood and find unusual subjects to sketch. This time, I went on a sketch walk around Mission Viejo, where houses were decorated with spooky Halloween displays. Instead of bringing my usual sketchbook and watercolors, I decided to try something different: sketching on my phone using the Sketchbook app. Digital sketching was quite unusual for me, but I was curious to experiment with new tools. During my walk, I captured five Halloween decorations, each offering a different artistic challenge. If you missed my previous post about my Sorrento sketch trip here it is.

Painting landscapes with watercolors is one of my favorite ways to capture beautiful places and memorable moments. This time, I decided to paint an amazing view of Big Bear Lake, California, with its beautiful mountains, pine trees, and blue lake on a sunny day. Usually, I prefer sketching on smaller formats like A6, but this time I wanted to challenge myself with a larger A4 format. I also chose my 24-color watercolor set to give myself more freedom to experiment with different shades and color combinations. It was a fun and exciting experience, and I’m happy to share how I
During the week, I try to make time for a small sketch every evening. I do not need to travel far to find something worth drawing. Evening sketching is also a great exercise because the light changes so quickly. You have to decide fast what you want to capture, what you can simplify, and which details are worth keeping. For these sketches I chose colored pencils, and they felt like the right choice for working quickly while still playing with layers of color.

Sketching at San Diego Zoo turned into one of the most interesting drawing challenges I have tried lately. Animals are completely different from buildings or landscapes because they never wait for you to finish. Some of them stay still for a few minutes, while others constantly walk, turn, eat, or suddenly change their position. I decided to bring my colored pencils for this sketch walk, and they felt like the perfect choice for quickly adding lines, textures, shadows, and small touches of color. During the day I sketched five different animals: flamingos, a monkey, an elephant, a capybara, and a
