Journal Drawings by
Gill McCowen Venezuela Travel Journal Gina Kim writes, “These were all generated last year from a trip to Venezuela, and I took your book along with me (along with plenty of bug spray, of course). My absolute favorite way to record my travels are your little observation icons.” You can see more examples of Gina's fine work on her website.
Journal Drawings by Gina Kim Paint Past the Photo One of the ideas in Art Escapes is to use a favorite photo as a starting point, then add, invent, embellish and extend beyond the four edges of the photo using watercolor. Louise Waters is an artist, photographer and teacher of art journaling on cruise ships. (And no surprise, she keeps no fewer than four journals simultaneously!). Louise combines her talents in these examples of painting past the photo.
One Minute Drawings I enthusiastically recommend quick sketches, when you let yourself draw without judging. Jeanne Henry is a workshop student who shows the potential for these One Minute Drawings--two of them later embellished with colored pencils. Jeanne's artistic talent extends well beyond One Minute Drawings; her website showcases her impressive ceramic art.
