Sketches and Watercolors by a Traveling Architect is a unique pictorial journal written and drawn by award-winning architect/artist Richard T. Banks. The journal depicts places of interest and historical significance throughout Great Britain and is the first in a series of forthcoming journals. The book contains 240 hand-drawn images with over 100 in full-color, complimented with explanatory text to establish historical context. The journal is an inspiring collection of drawings and watercolors - essentially architectural-but including people, animals, landscapes, and fascinating historic building techniques. The journal is not a "how-to" book, but one that presents an extensive range of subject matter to encourage people - of all skill levels - to develop a passion for what they see and a means for recording it. For readers who do not draw, but appreciate the creative immediacy of hand-drawn images the book is a visual treat for the human eye.
