Travel Sketching

I normally try to post on this blog once a month, it’s been running since January 2016 and I’ve not missed a month so far! But, March has been such a busy month that I honestly felt I wouldn’t be able to post on here at all.

Luckily, I went to a beautiful wedding in Italy – Lake Maggiore and what a gorgeous place to sit and sketch.

I started with a sketch at an airport coffee shop and I was so engrossed in sketching that I almost missed my flight! This is why I enjoy sketching, it’s the one activity where I completely zone out and lose track of time as I am in the flow – completely in the moment.

I’ve also been reading about abstract realism, sometimes I am so busy trying to capture a realistic drawing that I miss the opportunity to really loosen up. I am hoping to sketch more loosely in April!
