Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not 

in finishing an activity but in doing it.

After a long and wonderful walk at the endless beach of St. Peter-Ording it's absolutely gorgeous to have time for some quick sketches in my travel sketch book.  It's a great paper and I love the unusual format a lot.

Holiday Fun with a Mini Workshop

.

Mini Watercolor Workshop with my niece Lara-Marie. She wished to learn painting with watercolors and so she'd her first contact with this gorgeous medium.  Painting with kids is always wonderful and she was very happy and relaxed.

Weren't we diligent? We've started with some colorful warm up exercises after Jean Haines and then we took a life model - a fresh watermelons for a painting with a bit more definition, but without any drawing. 

The 4 paintings on the left side are Lara-Maries results and aren't they fantastic for her first time painting with watercolor!!
