Sicily Sketches

In preparation for my trip to Sicily my professor sent the class to the Trinity College Chapel in Hartford, CT to do some field sketches.

The class teaches you how to be a better field sketcher by sketching with pencil, pen and watercolors. The task was to crank out at least 10 pages of sketches. I did all my sketches with black pen on drawing paper.


 It's been a really long time since I've been inside a chapel/church so at first it was uncomfortably quiet and I felt like I was intruding.







It was really cold that day so I did most of my drawings inside. The interior was very spacious with high ceilings, stained glass windows, a long row of pews and many wooden carvings of animals and mythical creatures at the end of the pews. 









Overall, I enjoyed sketching and learning about new techniques. There are definitely things that I need to consider such as, the size of my sketchbook, the materials and the time I have set out for sketching.
