Have you ever wanted to sketch a location in another country or state but then come to the realization that it just isn't going to happen anytime soon. I have found a way for you to take those trips and sketch for free. Okay, before you get too excited, it's not exactly free and it's not the kind of traveling you are thinking.
It isn't totally free
because you have to have a computer and you have to be connected to the internet. This is the part that is costing you. However, I know you have a computer and internet service because you are reading this email so you are all set to explore and travel the world.
What am I talking about, you ask.... well I am talking about visiting and exploring the world with websites like
Google Maps or
Bing Maps. I hope you are not too disappointed but taking a Google maps tour can really be fun and give you some good reference material along with seeing places in the world that you will probably never get the chance to see for real.
The images below were ones I found on Google maps. I was looking for places to sketch
like I was on a trip and I would comb the streets all over the world. These I found for sketching and maybe sometime in the future I will also try painting them.
Give it a try the next time you feel like you want to explore and sketch in another country or state. You will be surprised how many places Google and Bing have been.
Can you guess from the images below where the places are that I found on Google. The Middle one you probably can guess but
the other two I think you will have a problem with. Click on the photos or the wording under the photos to take you to where I found these locations.
Happy Digital travels!
