Fourteen years ago today I was in Lisbon for the 2nd Urban Sketching Symposium, which was twice as big as the first in Portland (but still a lot smaller than they are now, still relatively intimate). It was such a great experience, learned so much, met a lot of sketchers.

I'm happy to say that the sketches I made in Rome have been selected for an urban sketching exhibition this fall in Mestre, near Venice. Matite in Viaggio , 15th edition, 2025. You can find more here : www.tumblr.com/blog/alessan... #urbansketches #urbansketchers #traditionalsketches #rome
