Five Star Gift Ideas

For your husband who enjoys urban sketching, here are a few gift ideas that are sure to inspire his creativity and enhance his sketching experience:

1. High-quality sketchbook: Consider gifting him a premium sketchbook that is designed specifically for urban sketching. Look for a sketchbook that has thick, acid-free paper to prevent bleeding and allows for a variety of mediums, such as watercolor and pencils.

2. Portable sketching set: Help him take his art on the go with a portable sketching set. Look for a set that includes a variety of sketching materials, such as pencils, pens, erasers, and watercolor brushes, all neatly organized in a compact case.

3. Urban sketching guidebooks: Expand his knowledge and skills with urban sketching guidebooks. These books provide valuable tips and techniques on capturing the essence of urban environments, including perspective, composition, and architectural details.

4. Travel watercolor set: If he enjoys adding color to his sketches, consider gifting him a travel watercolor set. These compact sets often include a range of vibrant colors and a portable water brush, making it convenient for him to add beautiful watercolor effects to his sketches.

5. Field easel or sketching stool: To enhance his comfort while sketching outdoors, consider gifting him a field easel or a portable sketching stool. These tools will provide a sturdy support for his sketchbook and minimize strain on his back, enabling him to focus on his artwork for longer periods.

6. En plein air painting workshop or class: Give him the opportunity to learn from experienced artists by gifting him an en plein air painting workshop or class. This will allow him to connect with other urban sketching enthusiasts, learn new techniques, and gain constructive feedback on his work.

7. Museum or cityscape tours: Expand his artistic inspiration by organizing a visit to art museums or cityscape tours in your area. Being exposed to various artworks or architectural styles can spark his creativity and provide him with new subjects to sketch.

8. Personalized sketching accessories: Consider personalized sketching accessories, such as a custom-engraved sketching pencil or a customized leather sketchbook cover. These thoughtful touches will add a personal and unique touch to his sketching experience.

Remember, the best gift is one that shows you understand and support his passion for urban sketching. By considering his specific preferences and needs, you can choose a gift that will inspire him to continue pursuing his artistic endeavors.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.

Burcin Dalkanat says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“It was such a sentimental and romantic present for my husband's birthday (since he is so into astronomy and the moon on the background). The order came super well packaged, and now it is the gem in the basement :)”
