Someone remarked that this looks like a colouring book, she was referring to the Paint company logo on the page. I told her that this was a habit left over from the tutoring days, when I reminded students that it is not necessary to invest in expensive drawing equipment and material to develop a skill. Sometimes, all it takes is an old diary and hotel room pens.
It takes me about 10 minutes to frame the sketch and capture all the forms, and another 5 minutes to add details and shade.
This is a re-visit, this time to capture the space more simply with lines only and no colour - to reflect the peace and quiet of the space. Later we visited the Catholic museum next door, and saw paintings by a well-known priest. No one could tell us anymore about the 2 sisters buried in the front garden.
Since I had sketched the churches and the temples, I finished the sketch crawl with this mosque just in time for lunch at Macallum.
