The art of making unforgettable memories

While your companions rest, admire the view or set up a picnic, simply wet your brush and then choose a colour. Do you need more water? Less water? It’s all a question of balance, like everything in life. Are your thoughts running away with you? Are you thinking about other things? Don’t let it happen. Focus on your sketch, on the palette and on your chosen scene. Just remember to leave some blank spaces on the sheet to give your picture the light it needs.

There’s still a bit of a climb ahead. You’ve earned your picnic and the next stop is the little lake where you can soak your feet in the cold water.

Your diary doesn’t end here. The great thing about travel journals is that they represent an endless journey. Everything that has made an impression on you, for whatever reason, can feature alongside the drawings you have done on your walk. Jot down your thoughts, a short story, add some stems of pressed grass and the flat little stone you could have skimmed over the water.
