sip & sketch at Bønne Café

Hi my sweetest youtube-fam! 😄 Join me right now as I sketch at this Scandic-themed spot – Bønne Cafe in Ludwigsburg, Germany. 🇩🇪 This place gives off major Danish vibes, and oh man, they've got these cinnamon rolls that look insane! 🤤 (Spoiler: I totally spaced and forgot to try them – don't judge!)

I've set up my little "art studio" 🎨 in their sweet outdoor area right next to the church. So, if you're wondering about those church bell sounds in the background, yup, that's it! 🛎️ I've got my fruity fruit bowl 🍓 (which is amazing, by the way) and I'm sipping on this smooth cappuccino ☕, later switching it up with some homemade ice tea. 🍹

Diving into some urban sketching today! Got my sketchbook out and I'm about to turn my drawing into a colorful piece with watercolors and pop in some highlights with gouache. 🖌️ If you're like me and enjoy eavesdropping (come on, who doesn't? 😉), you'll love the background sounds of my fellow Germans having their chit-chats in german heheh. 🗣️

Alright, I'm wrapping up my art and packing away my "studio". Hope you enjoy hanging with me and my art at this sweet cafe spot. Catch you in the next one! ✌️
