Street sketches of people in color and ink

Billions of different people to draw, where to start?

Sitting on the streets, walking the city and looking at the amazing diversity of faces, postures, lives, way to dress and eyes with so many different looks – I sit with my sketch pad… in Copenhagen again. Sketching in the pedestrian streets as the ever running stream of people flow in all directions

Three girls with a bike”You should go to San Francisco” a woman stop and say: ” people there are so diverse.  I have traveled all over the world… and that city is the best” she continue.

I will – some day, I hope, but have a long list of places I would love to go, just to sit and watch people.

Still sitting right here in Copenhagen, people come around here too, so for now I just stay, with my sketch pad… for a start, to catch just a very, very few of all these different expressions and styles, in ink and watercolor.
