WORKSHOP: Learn to Add Art to Your Travel Journal with Elena Brambilla

Saturday, July 18
1 - 3pm

Travel has a way of awakening our senses: the rhythms of an unfamiliar town, the colours and the detail of a new place. Travel journaling is a beautiful way to capture those moments. Instead of simply taking photos, you can slow down, observe, and translate what you see and feel into expressive pages filled with colour and personal notes.

In this relaxed and welcoming workshop, Elena will guide you through some techniques that make it easy to add watercolour art to your journal. The focus is on creative exploration rather than perfection, making it a wonderful practice for beginners and experienced creatives alike.

During the class you’ll learn:

• Techniques for working with ink and watercolour
• How to create artwork in small, portable notebooks
• Tips for art on the move - sketching and painting wherever inspiration strikes

Together we’ll create a festival-inspired journal page using colours, shapes, and small sketches to capture the atmosphere of the New Zealand Festival of Christmas. You’ll then be able to take your page home and add your own reflections and words about your experience in Greytown. This can be the beginning of a travel journal that grows with every trip you take.

This workshop is suitable for creative souls at all levels. Everyone is welcome.

Included in the workshop:

• Traveler’s Company Watercolour Paper Notebook (value $11.90)
• MD Drawing Pen – Black 0.3 (value $9.90)
• Blackwing Natural Pencil (value $7.90)
• Watercolour dot cards for you to use on the day and take home

All you need to bring is your curiosity and a willingness to explore the world through your own creative lens.
