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.

  1. 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.

  3. What 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?

  10. What 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.

  11. Thanks 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.

    Tammy, that is funny - carrying her art journal. I like that!

  15. Wonderful 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.

  17. Timaree, 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!
    I love this series of drawings, especially the cottage with the squirrel on the bench!
