We have been doing a lot of walking since the pandemic started, originally prompted by restricted exercise periods for months at a time. Now walking is a regular activity and each week we try and do a slightly longer walk. We often break this up with a coffee, in our Thermos, or at one of the pop-up coffee carts that seem to be proliferating along popular walking tracks around the city.
I hate carrying too much on these walks so I now carry this home made 10×14 cm sketchbook made of paper offcuts. Here are some of my recent sketches.

Really like your sketches. I have been visiting my sister in Glebe and sketching some of the buildings etc in Glebe, Balmain and Annandale.
Cheers Tom

I love seeing this work, so fresh. I’m assuming you sketch as you’re out on the walk (stopping, I mean, to draw, not walking and drawing!). I walk a lot too and have for years, but I take photos and draw from them at home- it’s easier for me with my eyesight I often can’t see as well as the camera can.

Yes I do stop to draw. Sometimes it’s a very quick doodle, which I might work up later. I am trying to keep my work fresh but I know that I can spent ages drawing when I need to be doing other things.
