TRAVEL WATERCOLOR JOURNAL - CHEAP

by Deb
(Lanesboro MA)

Purchase a hard cover photo-album where photo pockets are bound with screws, not sewn in or with metal rings. (I purchased mine for $2 for size 5 1/2 x 6 1/2).

Remove plastic photo sheets by removing screws.

Tear (for nice deckled edge) or cut watercolor paper of your choice to approximately same size of sheets you removed, punch holes in the paper where the screws will go.

Refill little book with your watercolor paper and you now have an inexpensive little traveling watercolor journal.

You could do this with any size book (photo or scrapbook) that uses screws to bind the paper into the book.

Hi Robert, just want to say thank you so much for your emails, so much information and learning in them, and the videos are wonderful. Love your art and the art displayed on the links. Once again thanks, you have no idea of the enjoyment they bring.

I just wanted to say that I stumbled upon your acrylics tutorial on YouTube quite by accident and have fallen in love with it. I've been showing it to several friends who always ask me about art -- I'm an artist by profession -- and they all love it too. Thanks so very much. :) It is most appreciated.

I just want to take a minute of your time and thank you for your free video instructions. Your personality is a wonderful and refreshing change. I have lots to learn but your instructions are by far the best!!!! I found my problems within the first 5 minutes--I over think the basic shape and complicate the entire painting. Sorry for rambling, I think your awesome and God Bless.

Awesome web site! Thank you for your contribution to the art world. I stumbled on your web site looking for info for someone here in South Africa to tell my mom in L.A to be referred back to me in S.A. Great info. Your tutorials are being used in a huge internatonal company here that my friend works at.
