The Hill from Everywhere

Video which was a reel on IG to show case drawings and sketches I have been doing for over a year on and around the same small hill (Foel Caerynwch) in Mid Wales. The title is simply because on all the walks I do with my family and alone in the area - among the foothill hills of Cader Idris, this hill can always be seen at some point.
