Visst blir man lite anti mot allt det tillrättalagda byggandet och alla regler i Sverige när man ser spännande miljöer som den här?
Jättefin bild, du är så himla …seende

I’m really enjoying these sketches. You’re right, so many different angles and interesting things to see. Beautiful sketches as always.

Oh wow, that is interesting! Thanks for explaining, I had no idea that´s how they did it. It makes sense, it really looks like the building was added to, a little bit at a time. I noticed that the wall textures were different everywhere, probably from the many steps in adding to this building.

I can explain the weird architecture (thanks to your detailed drawing)

See the little windows on the right? Those above the supports? Those are usually toilets, the supports have built-in pipes.

When they brought running water to old buildings they usually put the pipes outside on the ground floor or on the balconies, then they built small toilets at the end of the balcony (still outside the flat).
After a while they built walls on the balcony and made it part of the flat itself, connecting the toilet as well.

I find your drawings so amazingly good!!!!!!!! so precise but not stiff, and with a lot of humor in them as well. Love them!
congratulations!

Hej Nina – jag har nog aldrig kommenterat här, men jag har följt din blogg (och även dina bilder på Urban Sketchers, det var därifrån jag hittade hit!) ett tag nu och bara måste säga något…! Jag tycker att dina bilder är så vackra, och det spelar ingen roll vad du gör. Det är vackert, äkta och fruktansvärt inspirerande – även för mig som knappt vet hur man håller i en pensel (fast förstöker lära mig lite på gamla dar!).

Bara så du vet. Nu ser jag att alla andra kommenterat på engelska, men jag hoppas att svenska funkar också…!

I sosooo love your picture. My youngest son spent a semester in Rome studying at Loyola of Chicago’s campus. We spent a week with him, and I had been for a week previously. Your work is beautiful and reminds me of so many happy memories and pictures my son and I painted together. Keep it up. I am new at blogging, having started mine not long ago. Come over anytime and have a peek.

Yet another awesome post. This trip to Rome is generating a lot of “wonders” on your webpage
