ACBA Italy Trip, Field Drawings

Over the course of our trip to Italy we would make several field drawings of different sites and buildings. The main mediums used were pencils and inks, but also on occasion coffee. Most of the work was done quickly in the form of studies or sketches with the time allotted being between 3 and 30 minutes. By the end of the trip in Florence I felt much more comfortable with the freehand ink drawings and using ink as a medium.
