Watercolour Journaling at the Honest Lawyer is always special. The scenery is gorgeous and offers great atmospheric perspective. Also, we could explore getting texture into our work using salt and splatter, and practice an easy approach painting rocks.
The beauty of watercolour journaling is that you create your paintings just for yourself. Your journaling book represents your memories, places that you have been to, and experiences. You look at your little painting and remember more about the location where you created it than a photo will ever be able to do. The watercolour journaling class started yesterday and we went to Washbourn Gardens, Richmond. The weather was perfect and the flowers were stunning.

Yesterday the watercolour Journaling Class started with a surprisingly gorgeous day. We could see rain around us but Washbourn Gardens stayed dry. Here are some photos.
Colour exploration is so much fun and eye opening. Which colours harmony did the artists follow? Complementary colours, triads, analogous? Which colour combination do you like best? Here are some of my students' artworks at the recent watercolour class.
