We took a ferry to Amalfi from Salerno and climbed up one of its famous pathways until we were above the city. There were two shaded niches along the wall, one above the other, that were perfect perches for a rest and a sketch.

I liked how the walled path framed the beautiful coast and began my sketch, hoping to show this. After some time, I noticed the bend of my friend’s head as she drew below. Her body language showed a total focus on her sketch, and I wanted to include this in my sketch as well.
