Yesterday I finally began my 2015 art journal!!  I always write a diary of events during my trip and each day, whist away, I begin sketches on location and finish them off in the evenings after I have downloaded my photographs.  On my last trip, because I travelled alone, I seemed to have more things to take care of and socialised more.  I came home armed with a mountain of photographic material along with my detailed written journal.  Instead of tackling my art journal immediately I launched into a series of acrylic paintings on canvas!  It is really only because I had a request for classes in journaling that I began the journal work that I had put on hold.  Here is my first page!  After the long haul from Australia I went immediately to Bath and allowed no time for jet-lag.  I used watercolour and a black rotring pen (size 0.2)  I finally got to use the art journal bought from my favourite place Musée Rodin.  The paper is not very thick but, fortunately, thick enough for watercolour.
