She made her return to Hamburg in 1914 to work as a freelance artist in her studio at Große Theaterstraße 34/35, which subsequently became a popular meeting spot for painters in Hamburg. However, her orders were not making enough profit to fund her living necessities. <br>
Alma del Banco developed her own signature style in the years after Paris. In the 1920s, she enhanced her preliminary sketches to optically shift the focus towards graphic elements. Cubist influences caused her motives to be slightly distorted, and she also used methods like the application of paint only in a very thin layer as well as leaving parts of the canvas completely unpainted, in order to intentionally generate a sketch-like overall impression. She traveled to [[Italy]] (with Gretchen Wohlwill, 1922), [[France]] and the [[Balkans|Balkan]] countries, where she continued to educate herself further. <br>
