Editor’s Note

is a Colorado artist who takes her sketchbook on regular out-

ings into Rocky Mountain National Park and other places of

beauty (page 50). Her love of the Western landscape fuels her

sketching practice, but her sketchbook practice also encour-

ages her treks into the outdoors. It’s a reciprocal relationship,

really, with one passion feeding the other.

Celia Wedding (page 56) is more of an “all of the above”

sketchbook artist, who fi lls personalized, premade sketch-

books and her own handcrafted books with travel-inspired

landscapes as well as tablescapes, featuring beloved and

often whimsical items from her stash of personal treasures.

You’ll also meet English artist Lucy Willis (page 26), who

learned early on that watercolor was the perfect medium for

capturing the excitement of her travel-painting adventures

around the world. And, if you’re wondering what exactly to

bring on such an excursion, artist James Gurney provides

a practical guide to the portable watercolor toolkit (page 42).

With all that inspiration, the only thing left to do is to

grab pencil, paint and brush, and open the door. WA

lthough A. A. Milne was

speaking of the adventure

awaiting a young boy and his

stuff ed bear, the quote below could

be pasted on the front of any artist’s

sketchbook. Whether it’s used to

capture picturesque scenes from

a grand expedition or to record more everyday outings;

whether it functions solely as a place to draw or also

becomes a place to test colors, log ideas and journal

thoughts; or whether it’s all of the above, a sketchbook

is always a place to capture the creative adventure.

In this issue, you’ll be introduced to a number of artists

who enjoy painting on the go. Suzie Garner, for instance,

As soon

asI saw you,

knew a grand

adventure

was about

tohappen.
