A while ago I visited Vietnam, where this photo was taken. I did a lot of sketching because there was so much to draw, and rarely got away without an audience of at least one or two, sometimes quite a crowd!
I have got used to people watching me while I'm sketching, though I know some people find the idea rather daunting. For some reason, I find it easier when I'm abroad than in England.
The photo is in the Mekong Delta. It was a hot, sunny morning so I went for a pre-breakfast walk. The community was crisscrossed by countless narrow river channels and you weaved your way around by crossing lots of little bridges. People were very friendly. I can't find the actual sketch I am doing above, but this is another done in the same place:
