Come join me, Laure Ferlita, for an
“Imaginary Trip Made Real
To New Orleans!”
We’ll have five days to explore this genteel, old dame of a city along that has survived wars, split governments, and hurricanes all with a healthy dose of grit and moxie. Layer over that mystery, history, and a large dollop of southern charm and you’ll have yourself a city called New Orleans!

From courtyards, plantations, and balconies to insectariums, museums and garden districts, vampires and crypts to masks and parades, beignets to universities, New Orleans is quite the complex city with many, many facets to discover.

Oh, the sites we’ll see and the places we’ll go! This will be one fantastically, fun trip! On this extraordinary trip, you’ll have the opportunity to improve your skills to:

simplify complex scenes

eliminate unnecessary details

• capture the essence of a scene in a limited amount of time

test art supplies to find out what works best for you

and best of all, you’ll come home with an extraordinary sketchbook full of all the wonderful places we will visit!

Gentle critiques will be given along with feedback provided by other travelers.

About Laure Ferlita

Laure Ferlita is an accomplished watercolorist residing in sunny Florida. Watercolors, traveling, painting on location, sketching for the joy of it, and most especially, color, are her passions! Vibrant color can be found in almost any subject and its shadows. It is her joy to bring those colors to life on paper with some paint and a little water. For many years, Laure worked as a graphic designer, so you will most likely see a strong graphic element in her work.

“Watercolor, for me, is the perfect sketching medium whether you’re traveling or sketching in your own backyard” Laure says. “It provides ease of use, quick color saturation, and clean up is

a snap and really, you don’t need much equipment.”
