Travel Sketching with Watercolor and Pencil

July 22 - 28, 2010

Medium: Watercolor
Level: All Levels
5-Day Outdoor Class

Lew Lehrman spent three decades in commercial art before escaping in the mid 1980's to become a full time watercolorist. In the years since then, he has also been an art instructor, author of 6 books on art, and an avid traveler. Anyone who sees his travel journals marvels at how he captures the sense of place and time.

“Ever wonder why we rarely relive our travels through photos? Perhaps because taking a photo requires so little investment of one’s attention. Even after 30 years, my sketch journals vividly evoke wonderful places and memories of my travels! Artistic journaling slows your pace, as you observe a scene for at least as long as it takes to sketch it. Journaling is solely for pleasure – it doesn’t require that you be an accomplished artist. Regardless of skill level, you’ll be amazed how quickly your drawing and watercolor skills improve – within hours! We'll visit and sketch some of the Hudson Valley’s most interesting locales. By the end of the workshop, you’ll be a dedicated journaler...and a better painter too!”
