I love creating sketchbooks and it is a big part of my art practise! While traveling, in my free time or between everyday tasks – I make something like a visual diary with pictures, words and artifacts.

Sketchbooks are more than just collection of nice pictures. They hold within a story of their creator and theirs unique perspective on reality. Creativity, temporary events and raw emotions. These small companions serve as a gateway for the wandering minds of artists, writers, and actually everyone else who loves to dream and explore.

Sketchbooks are a perfect place for expressing personal thoughts and creating memorable pages with what matters to you. There a truly no borders – any topics, art tools and proportions or text/images/artifacts are welcome.

Sketchbooks are also a perfect place for experimenting with different techniques and styles. Big artwork in the new technique can be overwhelming – but a smaller tryout will always give a better understanding with less time involved. It is a perfect place to make mistakes and transform them into valuable lessons, because every mistake we make is a step toward growth.

I love to share this joy from creating a sketchbook with my students on my art classes in Budapest. There adults of all professions are welcome – you don’t need to be a an artist by your title but by the heart and mind! Students try different materials – pencils, watercolor pencils, watercolors, markers and many more.

Tell me what you would like to know about urban sketching! Art materials? What paper is the best for sketching? Which colours are essential? Which watercolor brands I can recommend? Or maybe something else?
