The next 3 tasks were travel book. It consisted of

Part I. Map and Sightseeing.
Part II. Exterior and Interior.
Part III. Main Impressions on the country.

I think the travel section and one with the bar/cafe sketch were my favourite.

Today i would like to share my sketch with a map and sightseeing. I chose Georgia as my impressions were still fresh as we had traveled there last summer. The teacher said it was better to use own photos as references as there were already your insight there. She also said that it was preferrable to use not more than 3-4 colours. For example she used brown, grey and green for her sketch. I still need to work on it.

I sketched several places and just mentioned some of the them without a sketch otherwise the sketch would be too overloaded.

My map includes:

• Tbilisi -a sketch with its fortress, famous saunas and a cable road) (We also visited Mtskheta and David - Garedja monastery and that is why I mentioned them on the map)
• Djvari - a sketch of a beautiful monastery situated on the junction of two rivers Kura and Aragvi
• Gori (Stalin was born there) and Kutaisi (we stopped there for the night before going to mountains)
• Svanetia region we stayed at Mestia but I sketched a beautiful Ushguli - a village in mountains which we visited with all - terrain vehicle
• Zugdidi (I mentioned this town as we had an amazing lunch there on our way to the sea).
• Kobuleti - the resort where we stayed. I made a sketch with a coast guard boat as it looked very impressive
• Batumi - a famous port and a Botanical Garden.
• Gonio. I sketched the fortress next to Gonio which was called Gonio Apsaros Fortress.
• Borjomi - very famous mineral water resort. I also sketched a cave monastery in Vardzia which was close by and impressed me a lot.

Here is my sketch and very soon I will keep sharing my travel stories about Georgia.

To be continued.
