"My Favorite Place" sketchbook - finally finished!

So, it took a while... But finally, it is done! And it's really beautiful to see the complete sketchbook, full of different favorite places, different styles, but common vibe :)
Here are Nathan's and my entries, we sketch together a lot, mostly in Tel Aviv, so our sketches have something in common :)

One of my favorite places is... yes, how not? the beach! This on the border between Tel Aviv and Jaffa, you can see the Tel Aviv high buildings on the background, and just beside it is the Old City of Jaffa.

The second one is my favorite ice cream - Anita. There is always a line. But it moves fast. And it is delicious!

These days Nathan is busy by watching Fifa world cup. So he sketched while watching ;)

 But the beach is our common love - so here is one of Nathan's views on the beach.

"Your city - your story" from Marina and Nathan

Katrin's book is full!

Last week I invited my friend Nathan to meet in Tel Aviv and to try to fill our entries.

As we do some sketching projects together, Nathan and I meet very often, almost always in Tel Aviv, so my story of Tel Aviv naturally includes... Nathan ;)

We started our meeting with a good plate of humus, sitting at on of the corners of the HaCarmel Market in Tel Aviv.

 Here I captured one of the streets near the market, were you can still meet old professions, like this shoemaker, repairing shoes and bags on the street:

 Here are Nathan's entries, he sketched... me! eating the humus ;)

 and another character from the same street - the barber taking a rest and drinking some coffee.

The sketchbook is coming with me to Manchester, where I'm going to give it to Omar.

Bon Appetit!

I always say that "food, drink & sketching" is my perfect happiness' formula. So, the theme of my sketchbook is "Local food and drink". Food defines a lot the character of the place, the local culture and tradition. Food connects people, always come together with nice conversations, laugh, emotions. I love sketch people that are busy by eating and drinking - they are great models!

Humus is probably the food identified with Israel the most. This place with an excellent humus in the middle of the Jaffa's flea market was a perfect place for my first sketch (and yummy humus, of course!)

Fish and a lot of delicious salads - are the specials of another very famous place in Jaffa called "The Old Man and the Sea". The bright blue sea at the horizon is a perfect decoration of the restaurant.

Can't wait to see your delicious entries - Bon Appetit!
