"When I travel, I always bring a sketchbook," supermodel Daria Werbowy told ELLE -- and what better companion than a local artist in the know? Louis Vuitton's Carnet de voyage series features lively sketches of cities such as New York, London, Paris and Beijing by talented illustrators like New Yorker Ruben Toledo. But don't presume they'll do all of the work for you -- these journals have space for your own jottings and doodles. Louis Vuitton Carnet de voyage ($94 each), www.louisvuitton.com.
Painted lady
If you think you may have the soul of da Vinci but the taste of Catherine the Great, you're unlikely to want to hang out in a garret. Luckily for you, Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu in La Malbaie, Que., is combining a deluxe room, gourmet meals and a relaxing spa treatment with half a day at an artist's workshop. West Coast art fans can brush up their skills with Victoria artist Grant Fuller on Hotel Grand Pacific's Watercolour Weekends. Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu's Mona Lisa Package (from $819 per person, www.fairmont.com); Hotel Grand Pacific's Watercolour Weekeneds package (from $519 per person, www.hotelgrandpacific.com.
Flying colours
"There are definite similarities between painting a flat canvas and a 3-D face," says Toronto-based makeup artist Alex Borovoy, who began his career as an abstract painter. "With both, you can work with brushes to master colour, shading and dimension." With jet-set clients like Shalom Harlow and Alanis Morissette on his resume, Borovoy knows how to keep in-flight makeup fresh. "Less is more! The plane's lack of humidity dehydrates the skin, so keep drinking water and use a good moisturizer."
