I'm setting Wednesday mornings aside as my adventure time - so there will be plenty more micro-travels to come. evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16884133941548921692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6581946150846505918.post-88800665038652061822014-11-29T16:45:34.353-08:002014-11-29T16:45:34.353-08:00Love it!

I borrow some game ideas, but this one was invented just before I set out to go sketching. Sometimes I just make a rule that at each intersection I alternate turning left then turning right....I'm now working on compiling a collection of such micro-travels.<br />A very happy Thanksgiving to you too!!<br />evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16884133941548921692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6581946150846505918.post-43074832727493190252014-11-28T07:13:43.884-08:002014-11-28T07:13:43.884-08:00Your pages are wonderful.

When I first started doing walks like this I sometimes just used system cards - usually blank ones - and coloured pencils. As for watercolour, just go for it! Enjoyment is key, and then practice will be pure pleasure. Wishing you joy in your art,<br />Evelynevelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16884133941548921692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6581946150846505918.post-13522063691754414362014-11-26T06:09:24.818-08:002014-11-26T06:09:24.818-08:00What a unique and wonderful idea.

Wish I could watercolor that well. Maybe someday. :) Practice, practice, practice, right? :) I think I'll try your method of choosing a subject.
