The other day Liz and myself took a good friend of ours to Wisley RHS gardens, the weather was just right and a very pleasant afternoon was had by all. Whilst there the chance came to do a quick sketch of the pagoda.

Which brings me to the point, that tomorrow for a few days, we are off to Taunton in Somerset, to lead an art group. The subject is sketching when on holiday.

When you sketch several things occur. People talk to you, you relax and you look at things properly; as a result your memories are better of the places visited and I personally enjoy them more. Try it. The work doesn't have to be clever or even good in the worlds eyes; and I assure you that you will enjoy yourself.

See you in a few days.
