Imaginary Trip to England
It's been another fun trip with Laure Ferlita. This time we went to England and what a comprehensive trip we had! We went to some pubs of which I painted my favorite. We went to a national park in Wales called Snowdonia. Touring some interesting neighborhoods was part of our trip as you can see by the house and castle doors I've painted. Seeing some historical stuff like a ruined abbey and Stonehenge were even part of the trip as going to the palace and seeing the changing of the guards.
Exciting and I learned so much about sketching with watercolor. I encourage anyone who has wanted to try watercolors but has been too afraid to hop onto one of her trips and have fun while learning. She is starting up a couple of general (no trip this time) classes in watercolor journaling also so click on that Imaginary Trips logo button on the right and join us.

Well looks like you had fun with this and did some excellent sketches too. I too like your windswept tree - and stonehenge and your robin sketches are really lively, which is hard to do from a photo - what an excellent travel journal.
ReplyDeleteoh wow! It's almost like a fairy tale ^^ I love the houses you drew and the bus looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your kind comments on my blog. I really appreciate it =)
These are SO cool! Great job...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful travel journal! It looks like you really had a wonderful time getting to know the City of London and surrounding areas. Does she provide you with photos or do you use google maps or yet some other way to "see" the sites?
ReplyDeleteHow nice ! I loved reading your entries and looking at your paintings (can't call them just "sketches" anymore !) It looks like an enjoyable trip !
ReplyDeleteLove seeing these all together!! Sweet journal and a wonderful job you've done! I'm so glad you enjoyed the trip!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic job you did on this. I am taking her class on Art journaling in June. Can't wait. You outdid yourself. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteFantabulous!! I love the city park woods with the woman walking and hugging her art journal.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful adventure you had without ever leaving home! You've done a fantastic job with your journal.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to take an imaginary trip... I almost felt as though I was with you. Can't wait to see your next adventure.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun sketches and a great imaginary trip. My favorites are the woman in the park, the dark and dreary day and the bus, but they all are well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. I'm still waiting for Laure to come up with an Ireland trip. Her classes are fun and as you can see, I am learning.
ReplyDeleteTammy, that is funny - carrying her art journal. I like that!
This is such a lovely journal! Well, how does this work? Do you visit some site for the sketches? I'm sure I can learn a lot about a place this way! I love your houses..
ReplyDeleteTimaree, you were really hard at work in this class! Every sketch is wonderful and such diversified subjects too!

Oh, these are terrific! It looks like you had a wonderful time on your imaginary trip. I love them all, but I'm amazed at the atmosphere you captured in the sixth from the top.
ReplyDeleteWonderful art. Thanks for sharing your "trip" with us. Thanks also for all the wonderful comments you have left on my blog. I am sorry I have not had time (and won't for a while) to visit regularly, but I had to let you know how much I appreciate your art and how you encourage everyone. Have a wonderful summer.
ReplyDeletei totally enjoyed the trip! thank you!!
ReplyDeleteTimaree, you've inspired me to take one of Laure's classes (it's been awhile since you and I had a class together). See you there!
ReplyDeleteI love this series of drawings, especially the cottage with the squirrel on the bench!
Your England pictures are fantastic! Great job!
