I’ve been wandering around Europe with my sketchbook, capturing little urban scenes of precious moments I wanted to remember.
This is my way of creating stronger memories of all the places I visit and keeping a little art travel journal.
In this sketchbook, you’ll find moments from Paris, Cyprus and Belgrade.

I’ve been traveling around Europe with my sketchbook,
Painting little urban sketches of precious moments that I wanted to capture.
This is my means to build stronger memories of all the places I visit and to build a little art travel journal.
In this sketchbook: moments from Paris, Cyprus and Belgrade.

I painted the “Pobednik” statue at Kalemegdan park, Belgrade woth watercolors👇
This will serve as the study painting for a larger format commission I just received!
I used ultramarine blue and pure yellow for the lights and shadows.
I painted the colors on top, to get that realistic light and color look.

After finishing the undercoat with the lights and shadows it’s time to color the painting and bring it to life..
Layer by layer, painting the real colors and building the contrast that will give depth.
As always, distant items are fading and are less detailed.

Having completed the value study and detailed sketch, it is time to establish the mood of this Parisian painting.

In response to your request to select a medium, I have decided to present a challenge in which the painting will be executed proportionally to the votes.

* 59% Watercolour to establish the mood and colour.
* 28% Watercolour Pastels for vibrant colours and texture.
* 13% Colouring Pencils for the details.

In this video I paint the lights and shadows, constructing the initial contrast as an underpainting which will set the mood.

With the study sketch and the detailed sketch done, it’s time to set the mood of this Parisian painting:
I asked my followers to vote which medium to use for this painting, but instead of picking the winner (watercolours), I decided to tuen it into a challenge, and paint proportionally to the votes:
59% Watercolor (to set the mood and color)
+ 28% Watercolor Pastels (for vibrant colors and texture)
+ 13% Coloring Pencils (for the details)
In this reel I paint the lights and shadows, building the initial contrast as an underpainting which will set the mood.
