One way to keep enjoying your vacation once you return home is to create from your photos.
I have been diving back into pics from our recent Florida trip.
The beauty of the wild dunes and the clean ocean sand made me wish I had more time to paint the scene while there in person, so I snapped this photo with my cell phone.
I've used this photo to create a little postcard. This one is roughly 3" x 6". The first washes were made with a number 8 round brush.
I finished the card with a number 1 rigger brush (shown in the top picture).
Why not dig out your favorite photos from a past trip and immerse yourself in them artfully?
Or find a photo of a place you'd like to visit and make a journal entry, a post card or a painting.
Follow your intuition!
And remember that you're not a camera, you're not trying to create an exact replica of the scene in the photograph. Your goal can be to simply experience the beauty you see in a photo.
