I’ve been prepping these three books for my trip to Toulouse to attend the Urban Sketcher’s Symposium next week. Three are Hahnemühle watercolour books, and one is a hand-made matchbook swatch book that I made to consolidate some of my colour swatching ideas for painting the Pink City. I also made a spiral bound sketchbook for notes during my workshops and making thumbnail sketches.

Two portrait sketches in ink and watercolour of Anthony Bourdain from photographs. And another portrait of him and a quote that I used to cover one of my sketchbooks. The quotes was done with cut out letters in a collage.
