31 Days in South America
In this talk I will share my experience traveling and sketching in Colombia, Peru and Argentina last fall, from packing light and researching itineraries and must-sketch locations, to connecting with people across different cultures. All my careful planning for this once-in-a-lifetime adventure paid off when I returned home with a sketchbook full of wonderful memories.
Gail Wong
Gail Wong’s love for travel and sketching intertwines. Her most recent sketchbooks are filled with colorful drawings of Peru and Argentina. She has also filled numerous concertina-style books with sketches made in Portugal, the Netherlands and many other destinations. A retired architect and lecturer at the University of Washington, Wong co-wrote “The Urban Sketching Handbook: Spotlight on Nature,” with Virgina Hein in 2022. Her passion for sketching and painting revived after joining the Urban Sketchers Seattle chapter in 2009 and later serving on the board of the international organization. Working in ink and watercolor, she’s been capturing landmarks and cityscapes ever since.
