Welcome to Have Brush, Will Travel, the blog of the itinerant
painter.
My passions – painting, traveling and teaching -
fill life with interesting people, intriguing and beautiful places
and make life challenging and exciting.
As a young college art student, I spent six months living in Italy. The value of living and studying art where the Renaissance was born was priceless. Art history was learned in the museums and cathedrals of Italy; we sketched and painted on the streets of Florence and Rome. It was such an adventure that art and travel became permanently linked in my brain.

Hey, I'm a 16 year old girl. I'm still in high school. I have always had passion for art and want to pursue it. But I'm even more passionate about travelling. I don't want to just pursue one of these so I really want to learn a way to combine these two fields.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of questions about how to make money from art while travelling and stuff like that. I found your blog and somehow felt you would be able to help me.
It would be great if we could talk personally.
