Students in the Visual Journaling Winterim have been traveling around Portugal all week, painting the people and places they travel to. They first flew into
Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, on Tuesday, where they painted for a whole day before traveling to
Evora. They have spent the past few days painting and exploring Evora, specifically the
cork forest and the
megaliths there. After painting in Evora, they plan on traveling to
Olhao, where they will paint the market and the old town of Olhao, and also take day trips to the island of
Culatra and the coast of Algarve. After they finish painting in Olhao, they will travel to
Sintra, where they will paint at the
Quinta da Regaleira before hiking to the
Castelo. After they paint in Sintra, they will travel back to Lisbon where they will head home on Thursday of next week.
We wish the Visual Journaling Winterim group safe travels and we hope that they have an amazing experience throughout their time in Portugal!
The Visual Journaling on the Edge of the World Winterim group has been diligently sketching and painting in Portugal during these past two weeks of Winterim. They have traveled around Portugal to Lisbon, Evora, Olhao, and Sintra, all while painting the landscapes and life that they see.
They have tried to keep up with their daily updates on their blog. They tell of their adventures in the city, the countryside, and the houses they have stayed in during their time in Portugal. They plan on returning to Boston tonight (Thursday) at around 8:00pm. We wish them safe travels on their return back and we hope that they come back with entertaining stories and beautiful paintings.
