2022 August: A two week trip to London and North Yorkshire yielded some great opportunities to urban sketch. I made a new smaller paint kit in a small Altoid tin, which worked well. This trip was extra special in that I got to sketch with my mum.

Drawn from the South side of the Thames (Tate Modern side) looking at St Paul’s Cathedral.09 AUG 22 – Globe Theater London. An iconic place where I fell in love with Shakespeare in 2009 after being marred in high school by Macbeth. We watched a modern take on The Tempest.11 AUG 22 – V&A London – View from the courtyard. It was incredibly hot outside and I just go the basics in before closing time, so the rest was finished outside of this location.10 AUG 22 – My map of the City of Bath according to the places we visited. It was only a day trip from London, so we couldn’t go everywhere…14 AUG 22 – Leeds, England. Roundhay Park is my best friend’s happy place, so we spent a hot afternoon there after attending church in Leeds. My favorite part of the park is the folly. If I had a giant garden-park I would have a folly. 16 AUG 22 – Whitby Abbey in Whitby. SO ICONIC. One of our fav days on the trip. Mum and I got to sketch together at this location.This is the view from our accommodation at Yew Tree Barn on the Riseborough Estate in rural North Yorkshire. It’s farm country!18 AUG 22 – Our last day in North Yorkshire. We had fun at the Burton-Agnes Hall and there was a little village church next door, which we sketched and then went inside and toured.
