I enjoy urban sketching—plein air sketching, sketching on location, or whatever you may want to call it. I may not be very good at it but I find it incredibly relaxing. Seeing my travels captured in watercolour and pen is the best way for me to keep those memories alive.
Here are some of the sketches I created this year during my travels to New Zealand in April and Japan in November.
New Zealand’s South Island is nature itself: drifting clouds, quiet lakes, and endless moments worth sketching. I can’t help but love the serenity of it all.
Japan in my sketchbook: Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, drawn one moment at a time … absorbing the details, the culture, and the everyday scenes.
Looking ahead to my travels in 2026 — and I’ll be sharing the journey with you through photos, sketches, and stories along the way.
May you all have a fantastic New Year!
Don’t underestimate your artistic ability Teresa, these are lovely, and a great way of recording the memories of your travels.
Thanks Eunice, but sometimes I tend to compare ( which isn’t right). I agree, a great way to capture little moments.
