Sketching Spain

Recently, I was lucky enough to travel to Spain. As I always do when travelling, I took my sketching supplies.

Although I wasn’t able to sketch scenes live and outdoors, I spent downtime in my hotel room sketching from photos I had taken during the day. Although I see problems with some sketches, I still learn from each one.
