Custodian of my garden: Oriental Magpie-Robin
Have you ever met someone who is completely fascinated by a single subject? In this sketch, I draw a visitor who came to my garden and spent hours observing termites. I jokingly call him a “termite addict” — not because of a real addiction, but because of his deep enthusiasm and curiosity for these remarkable insects. Termites are among nature’s most important recyclers, breaking down dead wood and helping nutrients return to the soil. For scientists, naturalists, and keen observers, they open a window into the hidden world beneath our feet. Join me as I sketch this memorable visitor and share a story from the garden, where art, nature, and curiosity come together.

Sketching a “Termite Addict” Who Visited My Garden
In this video, I sketch the famous Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. Known for its towering gopuram, rich history, and immense cultural value, this temple is one of the most important landmarks in South India. Travel sketching allows me to slow down and observe places in a way that photography often cannot. As I draw, I notice details in the architecture, proportions, carvings, and everyday life around the temple that many visitors may miss. Join me for a quiet sketching session as I explore one of Kerala's most remarkable heritage sites through pen and watercolour. #TravelSketching #SriPadmanabhaswamyTemple #Kerala #UrbanSketching #TravelJournal #Sketchbook #WatercolourSketch #SlowTravel #IndiaTravel #TravelSketchesWithSabu Download the sketch and follow along: www.windowseatwithsabu.com
Sketching the Richest Temple on Earth I Sri Padmanabha Swami Temple, Kerala
Miss Kerala is one of the most colourful freshwater fish found in the rivers and streams of Kerala. Known to science as the Denison Barb, this species has become popular among aquarium enthusiasts around the world, yet its natural home remains the fast-flowing waters of India’s Western Ghats. In this sketchbook session, I slow down and sketch this remarkable fish from observation, paying attention to its shape, markings, and character. Sketching wildlife is one of my favourite ways to connect with a species and notice details that are often missed in photographs. Join me for a quiet sketching journey as we explore one of Kerala’s best-known freshwater fish through pen, watercolour, and observation. If you enjoy slow travel, nature, wildlife, and travel sketching, I’d be delighted to have you along on future journeys. #TravelSketchesWithSabu #MissKerala #DenisonBarb #TravelSketchbook #NatureSketching #WildlifeArt #WesternGhats #Sketchbook #SlowTravel #IndiaWildlife #FishIllustration #NatureJournal #SketchingNature

“Face painted Bird” | Travel Sketchbook
The keel-billed toucan is one of the most colourful birds in the Americas. But its enormous bill is more than decoration. It acts as a natural cooling system, helping the bird regulate its body temperature in tropical forests. In this travel sketchbook episode, I sketch this remarkable bird while sharing a fascinating story from nature. 🎨 Free sketch download: https://windowseatwithsabu.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Toucan-sketch-from-windowseatwith-sabu.com_.pdf If you enjoy travel sketching, wildlife, slow living, and observing nature more closely, please subscribe and join me on the journey.

A quick travel sketch inspired by an Ethiopian Wolf seen in the mountains of Ethiopia. Sketching is my way of slowing down and reconnecting with places, wildlife, and memories from the road.

Wolves in the Clouds: I Sketched Ethiopian Wolves
The Ethiopian wolf is one of the rarest canids in the world. On a visit to Bale Mountains National Park in Ethiopia, I had the opportunity to watch and sketch these remarkable animals in their natural habitat. In this video, I share the story behind the sketch, our journey into the Afro-alpine highlands, and an encounter with a pack of Ethiopian wolves as they searched for rodents across the open moorland. Sketching wildlife in the field is not about creating perfect art. It is about slowing down, observing closely, and building a deeper connection with the natural world. 📄 Download the free PDF sketch and field notes: https://windowseatwithsabu.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Ethiopian-Wolf.pdf 🔔 Subscribe for more wildlife sketches, slow travel stories, nature journaling, and encounters with endemic species from around the world Have you ever seen an Ethiopian wolf or another rare wildlife species in the wild?
