At the beginning of November, some of us went on a drawing expedition to Oban on the West Coast! We also spent a day in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull. This was an great opportunity to practice creating sketchbooks and to have the freedom to simply draw all the time. I used my sketchbook as a visual travel journal documenting all the beautiful scenery and inspiring things. I tried to sketch all the things that made up the Oban trip - this included people, both strangers in the pub and fellow students! The sketchbook was to act as a diary for the trip, that would remind me of our adventures through visuals rather than words. Here are some of my sketchbook pages:
We then had an exhibition for our sketchbook work in the Andrew Grant Gallery at ECA:
Seeing everyones different sketchbooks and artwork was very valuable - both on the trip itself and all together in the exhibition. Overall this trip was a fantastic opportunity and I am so glad I went along! I definitely want to create more visual travel journals like this in future...
