Florine Asch takes us on a grand tour of Italy-from the bustling waterways of Venice

to the sweeping countryside of Tuscany-all sketched in charming, spirited watercolor.

Few will be able to resist the splendor of Florence's architecture or the allure of Naples,

with fresh laundry hanging across narrow alleyways and the azure waters of the nearby

Amalfi coast. All lovers of Italy will be delighted by My Italian Sketchbook , as will those

who themselves enjoy putting memories of much-loved places into watercolor.
