Thomas Schmidt, managing director of Sepia Design Consultants, is into making sketches and watercolor paintings of the iconic structures he comes across on his travels. He has compiled these images and notes into a book called The Bumbling Traveller. [PHOTO PROVIDED TO CHINA DAILY]

While he was growing up in Colorado, Schmidt's mother insisted that he made birthday cards for his grandmother rather than purchase them. "I would tag along with her to craft fairs and manned the bar at her exhibition openings," Schmidt recalls. "I grew up surrounded by the gallery scene. But I never got into painting - for me, it was always drawing or pen and ink with watercolor washes."
