This drawing was made in an empty church very early one morning in Venice.
One theme that I suspect I will keep repeating in these posts is the fascination that I have - that years after having produced a quick sketch, it is easy to recall the sounds, temperature, smell etc of the location where the drawing was made.
There is something about the intensity of concentration required to make the drawing that allows a subconscious recording of the environment by all of the other senses. I find that this is not the case for me with any photographs, no matter how hard I concentrate.
The drawing is made on 140lb HP watercolour paper, within an A5 sketchbook
