We were in Amsterdam last week for half term which was fab. Brilliant city to walk around with so so many stunning leafy canals lined with gorgeous tall narrow houses. Some were astonishingly narrow , much less than 2 meters wide, and some were a bit tipsy and lopsided. Our apartment had great big windows overlooking a canal so I had a bit of an attempt at sketching.
I was painstakingly slow trying to draw the buildings even though they were mainly hidden behind trees.
And this took more brow furrowing tongue protruding concentration than I've ever put into any thing before! And it still looks boketty and crooked! I could of course claim that they were exact drawings of the city's older architecture, ahem.
