VISITING ARTIST WORKSHOP
The Art of Illustrated Travel Journaling Workshop & Walkabout

Diana Hollingsworth Gessler

Course Description

Diana’s unique class is designed for artists of all levels who want to learn how to create an on-the-spot colorful travel journal that just may change their traveling life.

Diana Hollingsworth Gessler, author/illustrator of five travel books, shares her own “Tips & Tricks,” developed over 40 years, for fun and easy journaling. You will learn how to: travel slowly to see and record things along the way that others often miss; add color with washes and collage; enhance with calligraphy; and develop a caricature of yourself. On our last day you will use your new travel journal skills on a field trip as we go on a walkabout around Jackson Hole.

Instructor
My love of color comes from my grandmother and aunt
who both adored peach. The strong design sense is from my training as a graphic designer, and I traveled a lot as a child.
Now, the twin passions of color and travel have come together in my painting & books. By capturing the “happy colors” of the many places we visit, the paintings always have a sense of joy about them.

A sign in my studio reads, “You are here for the joy and delight of your soul”, an Amish saying about life on earth – or in one’s studio!
