Sketching
With more time during my semi retirement, it’s my intention to work more regularly in my various sketchbooks. Every art teacher says daily practice is essential to develop a style and a confidence and sketching comes with the added benefit of being mindful. It’s easy to loose oneself in the process, time passes and a sense of peace ensues.
The Tudour buildings in Tewksbury are fascinating and offer endless architectural sketching opportunities.
