Today I am doing a demo on how to pack up a travel watercolor kit & journal. So for my students: Rodrick Smith is a wonderful example of an artist who uses this technique to capture the moment. On his website you will see this pic, click on the Alaskan Journal to watch the pages turn with beautiful watercolor sketches of what he saw and experienced on his trip. Take the time to see the other links with his watercolors, the ones from Catalina Island are especially nice. He is very good about sharing his ideas with others so don't hesitate to contact him. Take your sketch books with you everywhere. Draw what ever is in front of you, add a bit of color. The more you do the more confident you will become. Be free with the color try to catch the values you see. Add a couple new colors to your box after awhile. Try to keep it as simple as you can and learn to mix your own color.
