A collection of my watercolor street sketches of people
For years I’ve been sketching people in the streets, most of the time in ink and watercolor, but occasionally I’ve only used watercolors

Watching people passing by and fast sketching my impression of them is something I really like to do.
I’ve been sitting on cafe’s when it was too cold or raining. But most of the time just on benches around Copenhagen, ready with my watercolor gear, trying to make quick “snapshots” of the characters passing by my spot.
