<div>In M<i>y Italian Sketchbook</i>, 30-year-old artist Florine Asch follows the tradition of the 18th century Grand Tour, when writers, architects and members of European high-society embarked on long journeys around Italy, taking in key cultural sites, often sketching as they went. <br><br>Asch's sketches are full of character, light-hearted, spirited and bursting with charm. Her fresh approach leaves us full of respect for the classical wonders of Italy's art and architecture, but also opens our eyes to the equally delightful architecture of today's stores, the markets, and local life.<br><br><i>My Italian Sketchbook</i> is a must-have for Italy lovers and all those who paint in watercolor or simply appreciate this delicate art.<br></div>
