Pen and Ink Sketching on Tours

Sketching is an fun hobby that many artists enjoy doing on tours. Later, an artist can use a sketch to transform it into a drawing to be framed.

After years of traveling on tours with my history buff husband, I finally discovered it wasn’t so bad. I used to just tag along, hoping for a few quiet moments to rest my weary feet during those many historical tours. I often sat on the bus when the tour director warned us that the trek up the hill to see a historical landmark might be challenging. Now, I actually look forward to these trips as they give me the unique opportunity to sketch scenes I don’t see back at home.
