Guide to the TRAVEL DIARY- The Art of Painting Collection, tips and advices

From charcoal, pencils and pens, to watercolour, gouache and collage. We showcase all the travel diary techniques you could possibly need.

Everlasting impressions and unforgettable images
A travel diary is more a work of art than a narrative. Whether it records a trip to the end of the street or to the other side of the world, it bears witness to the artist’s desire to convey the many wonders of the world. Whether exploring countries that are very different to our own, or observing the gradual disappearance of cultures and ecosystems, the travel journal is as much an inner reflection as a way of sharing our knowledge and experiences with others.
It was with this in mind that we created The Art of Painting, as a way of sharing and passing on knowledge and experiences. This issue sets out to show you works by the genre’s greatest artists and to help you progress at your own pace. From the tumultuous Tokaido corridor to the humidity of the Amazonian jungle and the beaches of the Horn of Africa, expeditions to far off lands will always be a source of enrichment. The resulting travel diary allows you to preserve your memories forever as unforgettable images.
We hope you will enjoy reading this issue!
