THE JOY OF MAKING
You can paint, even if you can’t draw.
The outlines are already there. You bring the colour. The illustrated guide helps you mix shades, work with water and add depth with shadows.
01
Open the guide
Pictures, colour mixes and techniques explained simply.
02
Try your colours
The practice sheet gives you space to find your feet.
03
Paint at your own pace
A wash of colour, then a shadow. Your print comes to life.
A MOMENT TO YOURSELF
Water, colour… and a little escape.
Make some room on the table. Open your paint box. Your phone can wait: there’s a sky to imagine, a colour to try and a detail to bring to life.
Paint one print or all three, in one sitting or over several sessions, whenever you feel like it.

A KEEPSAKE TO TREASURE
You’re the artist.
Remember a destination you loved, dream of your next escape or paint a gift for someone who shares your love of travel.
Once painted, your three prints are ready to display at home, together or separately. A little piece of elsewhere, with a little piece of you.
Prints are supplied pre-sketched, ready to paint. Frames not included.
HELLO, I’M FANNY
Every escape begins with an idea…
I love travelling, painting… and the thought of getting away without having to pack a suitcase. So I created Aquarelle de Voyage, here in Bordeaux.
My idea: pre-sketched prints and an illustrated guide to help you get started, even if you haven’t picked up a paintbrush since school.
We discover colour mixes, play with water and try our hand at shadows. And in the end, there’s a print to frame, with the pleasure of saying: “I painted it myself!”
I look forward to sharing the journey,
Fanny, founder of Aquarelle de Voyage

Before you pick up a brush
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes. The three drawings are already sketched, and the illustrated guide explains colour mixes, techniques and shadows. The practice sheet lets you try things out before painting your prints.
How large are the prints?
The three prints come in A5 (14.8 × 21 cm) or A4 (21 × 29.7 cm), on 320 gsm watercolour paper. Their outlines are already sketched, ready to become keepsakes you can paint and frame. Frames are not included.
How much is delivery?
France: Mondial Relay €2.99 or Colissimo €4.99. Europe: Mondial Relay €5.99 in eligible countries, Colissimo €7.99 within the EU outside France. Available options for your address are shown at checkout.
How long does it take to paint?
There’s no set time. Paint one print at a time, take breaks and return to it later. Follow the guide at your own pace.
Can I give it as a gift?
It’s a creative experience for someone who loves Bordeaux, Arcachon Bay, travel or crafts. You can also paint the prints yourself and give the finished pieces as a personal gift.
