In anticipation for this Guatemala trip I prepared some watercolor supplies to take with me.
I let this be a time to explore and paint whatever my little heart desired. We had many lazy days spent lounging around our rented home on Lake Atitlan, eating fruit, drinking, listening to music, painting and reading from the select books at our spot. Occasionally, a visitor would come in the form of a neighborhood cat or dog and spend a few hours lounging with us. Towards the end of the trip, I became inspired after visiting La Galleria in Panajachel and seeing Nan Cuz's work. It led me to create messier backgrounds resulting in the making of “Orchedia del Volcan”, my favorite of the bunch.
There were other fellow artists who’s works I came across on this trip, some notable ones below:
Lastly, Antigua was a great city, I recommend stopping at Cafe No Se if you get to spend a night there.
Below is a list of supplies with clickable links to help facilitate traveling with paints, highly recommend them as they take up very minimal space in luggage :
