I took my sketching gear with me, so I could catch part of the beautiful landscapes in Extremadura. Due to the short stopes we made, I had not much time for sketching. All sketches were executed between 30 and 90 minutes.

In the middle of november the weather allowed me to sketch outside So I took a little sketchbook and some pastels with me. I choose a place where I had a good view over some old buildings, partially destroyed during the last war.

During the last months I had not much time for sketching, so I decided to upload some recent sketches from november and one from the summer I found recently. All of them are sketched on location with an inkpen and one also with colored pencils.
