I bought myself a Christmas present from amazon.com this year, titled The Art of Travel With A Sketchbook by Mari Le Glatin Keis. Mari points out that sketching is not about doing "good" drawings or paintings but about being in the moment and putting aside expectations and judgement. This was encouraging!! I've decided from now on to try to sketch and collage when I'm on the scene to try to really see what I'm looking at when I'm there and so record my travels. This is the first of my look and see phase, with a Geranium in Goomalling sketched in grey pastel with colour pencils filling in the background.
