TIP #3: KEEPING EVERYONE HAPPY

So now we are equipped…how do we go about it?

Well that kind of depends on where you are, where you are going and who you are with….you can make art anywhere, and of anything! 

 

You just have to get your head around doing it and how to do it in different settings and with different people or groups of people.

 

For instance, on a walking holiday, you may not want to stop the group for 3 hours at the top of a cliff while you do a bit of sketching, or if you are in a theme park with kids, they may not appreciate having to wait.

 

It can also be intimidating to sit and draw in a public place, so be brave and go for it.

 

So, what are the alternatives, how can you get around it to make sure everyone stays happy?

 

Idea 1: Take loads of photos, that way you always have a reference to go back to if you don’t have time to sketch

Idea 2: Plan ahead…Build in stops or breaks in a trip so that you can always have a few minutes to sketch

Idea 3: If you are with other people…you could always suggest they bring something they would like to do too….like a book or a toy

Idea 4: You could get everyone sketching, take enough drawing stuff for everyone to get involved.
