My travel sketch book
I really enjoy taking the time to paint while I'm on holiday because it forces me to slow down from the constant go-go-go! mentality that I have been known to fall prey to when traveling. Taking the time to stop and really enjoy a moment or a place and try to capture that with paint is something that I'm trying to do more.
When I look back through my travel sketches, I'm instantly taken back to the experience I had while painting it; the warmth of the sun, or chill of the rain; the time leading up to it; the buzz of the people around me; the friends I was with. Because of the time involved in the process, it holds volumes more meaning to me than multiples photographs can.
