About this Class

Art journaling is a creative way to document your everyday memories, thoughts, and feelings.

In this class, we’ll explore art journaling with two of my favorite art supplies: acrylic paint and brush pens. We’ll try different methods of combining these materials on our journal pages. Then we’ll follow three journaling prompts to create art journal pages that document our everyday life experiences.

By the end of this class, you’ll be able to find inspiration from your own life and your photographs to inspire new journal pages. This class will show you what a fun and meditative hobby art journaling can be, and I hope you’ll be inspired to continue journaling after class.

This class will be valuable for both beginner artists as well as experienced artists who are willing to experiment with their supplies and learn new techniques to create art for personal expression. Art journaling is for everyone!

What You’ll Learn:

How to select a sketchbook, markers, and paints for art journaling
A warm up exercise to get to know your acrylic paint and brush pens
Methods to layer acrylic paint and brush pens together
How to find art journaling inspiration from photos you’ve taken
Tips to develop your personal journaling style and embracing imperfections

What You’ll Need

You will need an art journal or sketchbook, acrylic paints and a paint brush, as well as a black brush pen or two of your choice for this class.

However, art journaling is incredibly flexible, so feel free to follow along with the lessons using any art supplies you have on hand.
