Learn how to create an illustrated travel journal that will bring back memories for years to come. And the trip doesn't have to be any further than your own back yard. Katie FitzRandolph's approach to these watercolours is quick and immediate, reflecting the realities of travelling. Using an ultra-compact paint set and small brushes, you can produce drawings that evoke a mood, a location, a day. Working in a bound volume, rather than on removable sheets of paper, creates a freedom to have a drawing not work out as well as you hoped, because the process is for you, not for the Louvre. Spending the time to really see what is in front of you gives you a stronger memory of the location, the sunlight on your shoulder, the smell of coffee from the cafe where you are sitting, or the uncomfortable dig of a pointy rock on which you are perched. You may often look at a photograph and wonder where it was and why you took it. You will never have that experience with your drawings. You'll paint in various locations around Fredericton (weather permitting) and in-class over the duration of the course. All painting skill levels welcome! Materials Small object for the first class (can fit in your hand) Unlined bound notebook (like a Paper Blanks notebook) Black ink technical pen with waterproof ink (fine line - 0.5 is a good size) Small water container Watercolour paints Watercolour paint brushes Optional: Folding stool Snack Please dress casually and comfortably.
