| Nothing seems closed before 5 a.m, which'll put you into a dis-orientation that you'll feel the city is in totally different time-zone than the rest of the country.

Ahh, sun, blue skies, palm trees, they are but a dream when it is chucking down with freezing cold rain here 
What tools do you take out with you when you go around town sketching, Janet?

ITs a great way to pass the time, and you feel more a part of a particular plaza or hidden alleyway when you have spent time sketching it. It really becomes a part of you, and where you were. Ill try and attach some of mine from Lisbon and the veneto (on my trip as a student there)..hope it works
best.

great sketches, those drawings are the kind you find in books and in good architectural offices. Is it something you prefer over other methods of architectural representation? Are you also good making models? I've been thinking it's time to move on, I'm thinking of starting my website. Do you have your own website?

| Hi, Landy, thanks. yes, I used hand rendering for my terminal studio project, but I need rough model to get the perspective right first, I'm not very good at models, just a quick and rough one for perspective...yeh, my website is http://www.artofcity.com, sharing traveling sketches and experiences. for a website that is not very complicated, you can use Microsoft office live which is free. good luck. pls email me if you've more questions. info@artofcity.com

| I really enjoyed your website, I think sketches capture the essence of being somewhere, anywhere. we tend to draw how we feel in that place, at least, thats my interpretation of my own work looking back. Ill have to format more of mine to get them up. You would do great sketching here in Lisbon, very dizzying perspective in any direction for sketch artists!

Nice sketches, ac, particularly the first two, which have a wonderful delicate quality! There is a technician that works with me who does the most amazing sketches on holiday, in fact very similar to Janet's pen and ink drawings. His drawing skills are better by far than any of the other architectural staff I've seen.
I went on holiday to Rome a few years ago and deliberately didn't take my camera. It was great incentive to master the quick sketch. And, as I'm sure you'll agree, you remember much more about a place through the activity of drawing than through the lens of a camera.
