Looking through old sketch pads, I have found a few that have been semi-used and I am looking to take a few on my forthcoming trip. Usually I take two or three of different sizes and pencils as well as fine liner pens.
I also take a box of watercolours. The sketches I make, when I visit a new place, not only give me a feel for the place - familiarise me - they also enable me to draught ideas for new paintings. When I sketch out of door (en plein air) it enables me to relax into the new environment.
