Pocket Sketching with Kath Macaulay
Virtual Travel
Season 2
Episode 1
Because you can’t always go somewhere, why not relive the best places? Using a photo from your travel, isolate focal points and sketch only one. (Architecture takes an extra 5 minutes.) As your mind can visualize only one thing at a time, you will escape into the trip. When you review your sketch, you will remember far more than is in the photo. This is a fabulous meditation.
