Watercolor Travel Journal

Discover Alicia’s journey as an artist and learn how she left her graphic design job at an advertising agency to travel the world and devote her time to watercolor painting. She shares her artistic influences, and goes through what you will learn in the course.

In the second unit, Alicia tells you about her experience with travel diaries. See her creative process and some essential materials (that are easy to transport). Learn the basic watercolor painting techniques and discover how to create your own color palette and special effects.

Time to start painting! Draw some sketches in your diary, select a reference image, and learn how to organize your elements into a composition that tells a story. Then, draw your final piece with a pencil.

Start with your first watercolor strokes and add color to your illustration. Then, Alicia teaches you how to retouch your art with a fountain pen, a white marker, and gouache paint. See how to add even more style to your piece with other artistic tricks.

Finally, learn how to find your own style and express it through your travel journal. Finish the course with Alicia’s tips on how to take photos of your work and the best practices for sharing it on social media.
