I am always looking for fun, unique ways to add to my watercolor art journals. While I travel, I always pick up brochures, free maps, coasters, wine labels… Then I add them to my journal pages. I also paint little paintings of what I see along my journey. These all create a lasting memory more precious than any photo album.
