(Video link) On Tuesday I spent the morning sketching at an old graveyard a few miles from home. Just for fun, I brought along my motorized cameras to document the atmosphere of the place, and to give you a look at the work in progress.
Here's the final sketch. What inspired the outing was this poem: "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard," by Thomas Gray.
