Joan Breckwoldt is an American artist who lives in Houston, Texas. She has posted work from her collection on her blog, which includes sketching that she did while on vacation in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Her sketch of the Church of St. Nicholas in the giant Old Town Square is one of her favorite pieces. She chose to eat at an outdoor restaurant one evening that had the best view of the church, and she included some people in the sketch as well on her son's suggestion.
Several days later she sketched the same church again as they were waiting for a tour bus in the Square. They only had 30 minutes to spare, but that was long enough for Joan to capture the church on paper. This time she ended up leaning against a wall as she completed the sketch. Sketching on the tour bus proved difficult because the pretty villages and church steeples were whizzing by way too fast.
