"Create Your Own Vibrant 5-Page Accordion Concertina Journal: A Journey of Happy Art & Self-Discovery"

Dive into the delightful world of accordion-style journaling where art meets storytelling! In this hands-on class, you'll learn to create a beautiful 5-page concertina journal using my signature pen and ink sketching techniques followed by luminous watercolor washes on watercolor-friendly paper.

This isn't just about making art—it's about creating a personal transformation tool. Each fold of your accordion journal becomes a canvas for self-expression, allowing your authentic voice to emerge through confident, playful, and colorful imagery. We'll explore how to combine visual storytelling that speaks directly to the heart.

You'll discover techniques for creating that distinctive "happy art" style—bold pen and ink foundations brought to life with vibrant watercolor flows. Whether you're a beginner or experienced artist, this class will empower you to capture your unique vision and create art that truly reflects who you are.

By the end of this workshop, you'll have both a completed accordion journal and the skills to continue this joyful practice of visual journaling. Perfect for artists seeking to blend creativity with personal growth and transformation.
