How to Simplify a Busy Cafe and Cityscape 🎨 Pen and Watercolors Sketch on Location

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing with you another bright sunny afternoon in February sketching at a spacious cafe in Mount Pleasant in Vancouver. I sketched my latte, the delicious chicken burger, and then moved on to capturing the people beside me, and the streetscape outside the windows. Please watch the video until the end for my full process composing this sketchbook page using pen and watercolors.

🎨 Materials I used:
Sailor's fude fountain pen
Noodler's Brown 41 Ink (to fill the fountain pen)
Mungyo watercolors
Etchr Mix-Media A4 size Landscape Sketchbook
Holbein Water Brush (large tip)
Holbein water brush (medium tip)
