I love to sketch...



A sketch done at the NM State Forestry Headquarters in Santa Fe, it is an amazing building built by the CCC during the depression and the courtyard is spectacular. This is a sketch done in the same courtyard shown in the panorama photo earlier on this blog.

I take my sketch book with me whenever I am traveling and tend to do a lot of sketches, some are quick and never really finished and some are finished a little while later, I will draw the base quickly and get as much of the large elements and then come in later and add the shadows and darken in windows and doors and such.

I think I like to sketch as much as I like to photograph, it is a very relaxing thing for me and I enjoy looking through my sketchbooks again later.
