On my 18 day Scandinavian trip to Norway, Svalbard, and Denmark I brought three sketchbooks (small, medium, and large.) Okay the large was not impressively large.

My prediction at the start of the trip was that if I brought smaller journals I would sketch more (point and shoot journals!)

My prediction proved correct. I sketched 29 sketches in my small sketchbook, 29 in my medium, and 14 in my large sketchbook (although some of the sketches cover two pages).

This trip proved to be very sketchy for me as I averaged four sketches per day for a grand total of 72 sketches over 18 days!

Some of this may have to do with the amount of downtime on my seven day cruise. But it is equally true that I was very inspired to sketch more of the impressive sights I found before me.
