I have really got into sketching out of the car window as we drive. Luckily for everyone, I am the passenger, not the driver! It's not disimilar to drawing from the train window, but of course you do have the additional luxury of the view forward, which makes things a little easier.
We travelled up to the north Lake District for the Ireby Music Festival last weekend and I sketched most of the way up and part of the way back.
I enjoy the challenge of the crazy amount of time you have before everything has changed or passed by, although it does often make me grumpy too, as I have an extremely poor visual recall, so find I can't draw from memory at all.
I did lots of sketching at the festival too. I'll post some of those once I've had time to do the scanning in.




Lovely sketches from the car..helps make the journey more interesting and gives the passenger something to do :)
