Gay's Journal 2004 |
Christina's Journal 2004 |
 Gay took a wonderful watercolor and gouache class with Mary Jo Koch and painted Beetles all day. Great class, great teacher, great people, great location, great lunch (included!)
|
Christina took a lovely trip to Paris in July with girlfriends and enjoyed the time away to play and get creatively inspired! A must for everyone; whether it is in the next town or all the way to Paris! This trip was extra special to me because it has been nearly 10 years ago that I came to Paris with different girlfriends and I started Watercolor Journaling for the first time.Full circle! Yay!
|
 Lovely Big Horn sheep -- 4th time painting it!
|
The first day there was HOT and MUGGY. We barely could stand from the heat and the jetlag. That evening it started to rain, relieving everyone! No, I can't draw quite that realistically -- those are pasted in sugar wrappers. |
July 6th: a Fourth of July celebration at our local church. |
A lovely few shops in the Marais. Wonderful shopping and window shopping, even! |
 |
Paris is THE place to go for new clothes. July is a great time for sales -- everywhere we went there were signs on the window saying "Soldes" which means "Sale!"
I was inspired to use my soggy tea bag as a texturizer on the watercolor paper -- It worked so well I started dipping it into my watercolors and getting some great effects!

Silver Mountain Winery
|
I was very inspired to come back to the States and start a new business -- her are some of the ideas that Julie Valentine and I were brainstorming!
|
|
Leffe is my favorite Belgian Ale. I wish we could get it here in California!
|
 |
Wonderful tea and of course Amazing food in Paris. More tea bag texturizer here!
|
|
All the great stuff I brought back! Magazines, pens, pencils, postcards, stamps, new blank hard to find watercolor journals, tissue to collage with... Yay for Paris! |
 New Dragon's Tongue Brush -- just wonderful!
