Now I suggest that you take a sketchbook with you when you go on holiday.
When you go on your vacations, then take a sketchbook with you.
And again, when we look at the materials and equipment you need, you'll see that you don't need much.
But actually with very little, just in the small bag, you can get records of your holidays now.
Often when we're on holiday, we just take a camera with us and we go, snap, snap, snap.
And we don't really look at what it is that we are taking pictures of.
And sometimes we just have thousands of pictures when we get back and we don't know what to do with
them.
If you sit for half an hour or an hour in a cafe or in a bar or just in the street somewhere and do
a sketch, then you remember where you've been.
You remember the smells, you remember what was going on.
You remember exactly what was happening at the time.
And I often make little notes as well.
We always put the date in and make little notes of the things that were going on around as a holiday
memoir.
Really, it's great.
It's much better than the photographs.
Photographs obviously have their place.
But but when you sat and you've sort of painted places, you you you get something much more from it.
And so I would always recommend taking a sketchbook with you and just sitting.
And thankfully, my wife is very patient.
She's very happy to sit and read a Kindle and have a coffee while I'm sitting there and sketching.
And that's just lovely and different people.
I mean, this is where where the cafe bar owner decided that he was going to write him a book as well
and do something as well, which is quite interesting.
It's just a memory, again, of the things that sort of happened.
But yeah, when you go on holiday, just take a book with you and record those memories and they will
stick with you for life.
