This watercolor travel set is ideal for field notes and travel sketchbooking -- anywhere you'd like to add a hint of color to your sketches and notes.

Transparent watercolor was the medium of choice for Victorian travelers and it remains a wonderful alternative to digital photography. Step back from the viewfinder and sketch -- even if you've not used water colors before, you'll find delicate washes add interest and excitement to your notes, and that you'll see more intensely (and remember more vividly) than you see through your viewfinder.

You don't need training or talent: not long ago, every educated person learned how to draw and paint. All you need is a few drops of water to moisten your brush, some good heavy paper, and a few moments of your time.
