DON GETZ 'WATERCOLOR JOURNAL TOUR' OF THE USA

Planning for the tour started in February, as I looked at my 'bucket list', for those things which I wanted to achieve in my artistic life. I’ve enjoyed sharing my art knowledge with fellow artists for over fifty years. It’s a joy sketching & painting 'en plein air', over being in a studio. Journaling can be done anywhere; on a ship, a train, car or whatever. This makes it ideal for seniors who can’t or won’t lug an easel and other items used in sketching and painting.

Indian Rock and Tarpon Springs, FL

Week of Feb 24: The workshop in Indian Rock beach went very well, with nine participants , but some great locations. Weather cool... I have switched sketch pens from the Identi-pen to the Micron pens by Sakura, easier to find and finer lines. I recommend the 3 pack, with 03 - 08 sizes. Sakura also offers a five pack which I highly recommend. Cheap Joe offers both sets. Also get a 005 for very fine lines. My stop in Tarpon Springs was to visit friends and sketch old sponge boats which were plentiful. Next, Cedar Key, FL.
