‘Realize that a drawing is not a copy. It is a construction in very different materials. A drawing is an invention.’ Robert Henri
Usually, rattling around in my bag is my beloved little sketchbook & a few fine tipped ink pens or biros. Ocassionally (but not as often as I should) I’ll find a nice quiet spot to sit for a while. I’ll then whip out the sketchbook & pens and happily scribble away. Most of what you see below is a collection of drawings done on my travels around Europe or on days out in the UK.
