Rima: It makes me so happy to know that I’ve inspired you. What a privilege. I always carry pieces of watercolor paper that could fit in my hand – that makes it really portable. And here’s my portable art kit peek.

Hope to learn more. This was inspiring.

Kathy – I love envisioning you at the top of Katahdin. I haven’t yet climbed that one, but would like to. I can’t wait for you to get the book. Sept. 6 here in the US, and out already in the UK. Cheers!

Thanks so much Jan. Yes, I love to do series of watercolor washes, or basic marks. For me it’s all about layering the work, and making it easy to explore in little snippets and layers. Happy creating!

Do you do the watercolor before on a number of pieces so they are ready or after the pen work? I’m heading to Maine in 2 weeks and will definitely give this a try!

I climbed Mount Katahdin and explored Acadia and recall so many different lichen on the rocks. Some of them hard enough to cut you. What a beautiful place to get away and spend time with nature.
Looking forward to spending time with your new book.
Thank you for your time and inspiration you share with us all. I know I am grateful. Happiness and health to you and your family.

Hi Joy – I’m so happy you like them. I take a lot of pleasure in photography – I hope it offers you some too. It’s hard not to love Maine, right? xo

HI Liza:

Thanks so much for being here and for the kind words. I think you already have a lot of insight – less is more in my opinion for portable art kits. The lighter it is, the more willing I am to carry it, the more likely I’ll use it and not hem and haw about what to create with. Here’s my post on portable art kits. Cheers!

That’s an amazing amount of work given that you were with family and camping. I’m seriously impressed. Would love a reminder of what you take as a mini art kit as I tend to pack too much and use very little!
