In 2006 my first long sketch was done in Margaret River, Perth Australia. I have since done scenes of Singapore, Cambodia, Thailand, Bali, Tobago, Trinidad and Japan. They need to be completed in one session as the conditions such as weather and lighting will never be the same at another time. Sometimes I sit in one spot and turn 360 degrees; sometimes I sketch while walking in a straight line and sometimes I move around to several locations to complete a single sketch. Some of the conditions endured to complete these sketches have included a temperature of 44C (Perth, Australia) to -4C (Japan). I continue to sketch as the rain falls and the crowds come and go and block my view.  Sometimes the wind does pose a challenge as my paper blows up and down but I do my best to complete the piece started no matter what! And that can also explain the crooked lines. I have completed over 100 sketches using a Japanese brush pen most without using a pencil for preliminary sketching. The longest one is 21cm x 300cm.
