Architectural drawings are not my strong suit and I did some touch ups later that night after dinner to provide more contrast. Not bad over all, and it was just fun to sit and draw in the same city as Van Gogh.

Amsterdam -- Sitting on Eerste Constantijn Huygensstraat
The trip was busy, as work trips often are, so I was only able to get one sketch done during my trip to Amsterdam. Sitting just out front the little boutique-y hotel on Eerste Constantijn Hugyensstraat (say that five times fast to your favorite Dutch cab driver and just wait for the blank look. . .then show him the address on your phone), I was able to capture the shops across the street. My intent was to also draw the little park just to the left of these buildings. Alas, there was not time.
