Hi there! Here are some pages of my Portugal Travel Watercolor sketchbook
So our travel took place in my travel sketchbook as well. In order not to miss the feelings of a place and get it inside fully you have to sketch it right away.
So when we arrived in Porto, I sketched it right in the airport:
Morning coffee and the market
Wine, resto, Torre dos Clerigos
Postcards on the Duro Embankment, old shoemaker sells the boots
The locals and Sé Cathedral.
And, before leaving, I drew our hotel room.
Aveiro
LISBON
with its tramway
Ice cream on our street in Alfama

Poet Antonio Feliciano da Castilho
...and Poet Fernando Pessoa, that I love a lot
and so beautiful Sao Domengo church that was almost totally burnt in 1959 and still isn't recovered which is so captivating to see
But we had to go to Coimbra
Coimbra, the 1st University of Portugal and its first capital.
Here is Coimbra Sé Cathedrale
Cloister of the Sè Cathedral
Streets of the local students
We lived there, in the yellow little house up there:
(and I'll add some more one day)
