Sketchbook Journeys – Ireland: Days 11-13
I took way too many art supplies with me when I went to Ireland, just like I do for every trip. I always have such high hopes of all that I’ll accomplish: “Oooh, I might want to try out those colored pencils! And I just might need that spatter screen and all those drawing pencils […]
