Hi @adamada. Delicate Arch is situated on a curved sweep of smooth rock, so you can walk around it and see it from many angles. I've done a couple sketches of Delicate Arch from different places, though it also depends on how crowded it is and if you can find shade to sketch from. Sometimes I will open one of my sketchbooks and a little dirt or sand will come out. They endure rain and all kinds of wear and tear, but this only makes the experience more real. It is like the sketchbook itself has a life of its own. I take photos too, but those only take a moment to capture, whereas drawing takes time, so that the image makes a deeper impact on you. Early on I wanted to document archaeological digs this way, but never figured out how to get into it. Thanks for your comments!

Progressive sketches may work. Site A looks like this on Day 1. Day 3. Day 5. With some notes on what transpired during the previous days.
Good luck with your sketch journeys :D
