| Part of what I love about watercolor journaling is that it engages all my senses. In order to paint a flower, like the Monkshood, I use my sight to tell me colors, shapes and value, but I am also experiencing the sounds and feeling the warm breeze along the hillside. I also love that it takes me to new, as well as familiar, places. I look for different ways to represent my life journey. It a wonderful way to slow down and savor the moment. I look forward to sharing this experience with you in Greece! There are lots of techniques that I can show you that even a beginner to watercolor painting will return home an artist. If you would like more information on how to join me on a Watercolor Journaling in Greece, please contact the American College of Healthcare Sciences. The class is May 27 – June 2, 2011. |

Jacqueline I can't wait – I am so excited to spend time in Greece with you learning some of these techniques. I have seen the monkshood wild on the hillsides of Syros, it is so beautiful. Registration ends April 1st so call 8004878839 or email achs@achs.edu
What a fabulous page!! Love the saturated colors. You can almost feel the warmth of the sun radiating off the page!
Thanks Dorene. I was hoping the monkshood would be blooming when we are there. Laure, I am looking forward to some warm sunshine. It is snowing here again! Thank you!
Jacqueline, enjoyed getting to meet you this past week. Love both your web-site and blog. The demo of your poppy painting is great and I love the finished result too! Look forward to staying in touch.
