Travel Sketches
Austria | Belgium | Croatia | Czechia | England | Germany | Holland | Hungary | Montenegro | Romania | Scotland | Slovakia | Slovenia
Of the various art forms in which I dabble, my runaway favorite is the fast sketch. Not just for the instant gratification it offers, but its such a great way to get to know a place.
I had an art history professor, Pierre, back in the day who said if you want to ditch every class and still get an A, go to the Mellon museum (New Haven, CT) and draw everything on the second floor. You'd walk away with more understanding of those paintings than he could ever provide. I didn't do that then but I do it now, with travel. Turns out Pierre was right.
I have my best posted here, but they don't all turn out that well. It doesn't matter. I hope you try this some time, not to show the world or hang on a wall, just for you. If it's encouraging, my first few were true pieces of crap, at that point the art tool I'd used for 20 years was not a pencil or brush but a mouse, It showed. But I got better.
