Toulouse Sketchbook Flip through

A look though a sketchbook from 2023 when I went and drew in Toulouse, France. The occasion was the annual French Urban Sketchers meet up. It was a great city to draw in and the event was really well organised.
The materials I used:
Stillman and Birn Beta sketchbook
Watercolours
White gouache
Tikky fine liner pens
White gel pen

[@coc0mu]

Wow! I live in Toulouse and this is truly lovely! Really does it justice!☺️

[@LisWatkins]

Thank you 😊 I really enjoyed visiting and drawing there.

So lovely to see inside this sketchbook. Beautiful colours and I just love the way you leave areas white, and seem so considered (and restrained) with your lines. Yes, please show more!!

[@LisWatkins]

Thank you very much!

Loved this Liz….especiallynthe rooftops page and those reflections in the water

[@LisWatkins]

Thank you Anne! Hoping to draw more water and reflections this year 🙂

[@loveandlife4222]

I love all of this and would love to see some more sketchbooks!

[@LisWatkins]

Thank you, am working on more videos soon!

[@ivagrabner8364]

Oh, what a joy it is to see your videos! Great sketchbook, as all of your drawings are so beautiful. It is kind of relief to see that you, also, have some unfinished pages, or a drawing that you do not like in the end. And it’s nice to see your color choices. Can’t wait your next video! : )

[@LisWatkins]

Thank you! Yes, I always have pages that are unfinished or don’t work out. I think that is the beauty of using a sketchbook, it doesn’t have to be perfect 🙂

[@ruthstettmer-sultana6478]

Your sketches are so lovely 🥰 I love your videos and thank you for sharing. They are very inspiring. 🌸

[@andrealee7893]

I love your sketchbooks and eagerly watch all the videos you post! Your work is inspiring 💫

[@LisWatkins]

So nice of you to say, thank you 🙂

[@niangocnguyen]

Thank you for going page by page and telling their stories 🥰

[@LisWatkins]

That's the good thing about making sketches, it really cements memories 🙂

[@lb10003]

Beautiful sketches! The colors are luminous and I’m especially impressed by the water reflections painted from life. I’ve tried that myself and it is super challenging!

[@LisWatkins]

Thank you so much 😀

[@aniamartaart]

I loved every single page, love how you painted water and used that black line- very clever and colours are perfect.

[@LisWatkins]

Thank you for the lovely comments 😊

[@maryhigginson9710]

Love these sketches and especially the effects you got on the water and the trees by the river.

[@LisWatkins]

Thank you. It was a lovely place to draw 🙂

[@whitedove288]

The sketches are absolutely charming, and I really like the colours. Thanks for sharing !

[@LisWatkins]

Glad you like them!

[@kanderdraw]

Lovely work! I especially love how you draw cars/scooters.

[@LisWatkins]

Thank you! I find any kind of transport fun to draw as the different makes all have their own character 🙂

[@idtj7170]

Amazing sketches! I always look forward to your videos! One question: what brush do you use to make straight line? I find it very hard to make straight line with brushes…

[@LisWatkins]

Yes,I find it difficult when it comes to being precise with details. I often just use fine liners rather than a brush for lines. I have a couple of long thin brushes which are useful too.

[@user-mm9fx7uy4v]

I LOVE your work! Your sketchbooks are amazing - thank you for sharing

[@LisWatkins]

Thank you so much!

[@Ca0309]

AMAZING!

[@reginas.5186]

Yes, please. More sketchbooks

[@LisWatkins]

More on the way soon!

[@margotsnelder]

Hi Liz, I’d love to take a class from you. Are you joining USKNantes in may?

[@LisWatkins]

Yes, I am going to Nantes so maybe we can draw together there? Probably best to message me nearer the time. The only workshops I have lined up so far are in Liverpool in September. I thought that I might try and adapt a workshop to share on KZbin too. Just thinking about how it would work 🙂
