This year’s trip to France was a beautiful reminder of why we travel with our sketchbooks: to slow down, to notice, to savor. Together we painted castles, vineyards, flowers, and tiny corners of Limoux that felt like secrets whispered just to us. Our days were filled with laughter, discovery, and the kind of creative energy that stays with you long after you’re home.
And now, with those memories still glowing, I’m excited to invite you to join me for France 2027. We’ll return to the charm and color of southern France — with fresh locations, new prompts, and even more opportunities to let your art wander.
PAINT, EXPLORE, EAT, LAUGH, REPEAT!
France and Italy are calling — and your watercolor journal wants to go.

As the leaves turn into marvelous shades of crimson and gold, I am already preparing for my watercolor painting workshop in Limoux, France, June 6-20, 2026! I am looking through my portfolio of watercolor journals dating back to 1991 and picking out my favorite page designs, subjects to paint, techniques that I have made up and techniques that I have learned from fellow artists. My journals are my art muse. Perhaps you have seen one of my articles that I have written for Art Journaling or Somerset Studio?
