Since my arrival in New Zealand in February 2012 I have been keeping a visual diary
that I took everywhere with me. I have been drawing in it almost everyday, trying to
capture impressions from my journeys around the country, but also from my every day
life in Auckland...I have kept it simple, using only pencil. This is a selection of entries.

Welcome to USkNZ Theresa, great sketches and looking forward to seeing more!
ReplyDeleteKia-ora and willkommen Theresa. You have such a versatile range of subjects you can depict. Especially the people on your own website. Pencil and paper goes a long way around the world.
ReplyDeleteNice one Theresa - a great record of your journey
ReplyDeleteGood stuff Theresa.
ReplyDeleteI specially like the hostel drawing and I guess you are a barefoot sketcher.
hi mario, yes I am (at least in NZ :)
DeleteLovely sketches Theresa. When I first arrived in New Zealand 4 years ago I kept a similar visual diary, I found it a great way to get to know my new surroundings. Look forward to seeing more!
ReplyDeletehi fiona, thanks for that! Yes, I always kept a sketchbook in the 18 months of my stay...I managed to fill 6 of them...so more posts coming soon :)
