I hope last month's photo from my Lake District holiday inspired you to produce your own indoor version of a quick, on locationappealed to you most about the scene. I set a time limit of 30 minutes for my sketch to mirror a typical coffee or lunch break stop during a walking or sightseeing holiday with other people. Rather than diving straight in and attempting to include the whole scene in such a short time, I started by taking a couple of minutes to look closely at the photo to decide what I most wanted my sketch to capture (just as I would have looked at the scene in front of me if I'd been sat there for real).
