Travel Journal: Illustrate Your Reality

“We have reached the end of this course. I loved being able to share with you. I showed you a bit who I am, how my career has been, my influences and my history with artist notebooks and travel diaries. I taught you what a travel diary is and that the trip can be done in your room, in your neighborhood, in your city or in an unknown place. I hope you have been able to discover how to narrate your own experiences. I told you about mine and you will surely be able to discover how to find yours, enjoy the possibilities that observing everything around you gives you and enjoy the time dedicated to this practice.

I showed you my favorite materials to draw, surely you can do it with other materials and also practice some new technique. Also, I shared some ways to draw from the observation of nature and from photographs. I drew a house, an abandoned car, a monkey puzzle tree, people; I drew various things in the city and in my neighborhood. You can draw whatever you want. You can set your own limits and look for your own tools. Remember to draw and write a lot to find your own way of narrating. Finally, I recommend that you watch and comment on what your colleagues do, that this enriches us all. Thank you for signing up for my course and remember that any questions you can write to me in the forum and I will respond as soon as I can. Live in the present and draw what you have in front of you. See you soon! ”
