I am not sure where to begin! I was in Italy for 13 days and had my Stillman and Birn, Beta, softcover sketchbook to fill. So below will be some sketches from that journey!
I met my sketching buddy out for a nice outing at the NYS Transportation museum. Which is basically like you grandfathers attic but much larger and filled with train stuff. It's such a weird experience and a great sketching location. (the green tint on the one photo is from the very odd skylights in the larger room--not a tinted sketchbook) [Laloran sketchbook (http://laloranstore.bigcartel.com), with some various pens I obtained from jet pens and D+S watercolors]
