Benefits of starting a watercolor journal:

·         Unleash your creativity - your art journal is a safe place to experiment with words and images, try out new art materials and techniques, or visually document your thoughts and feelings in a creative ways

·         Cultivate a creative practice of capturing moments in your life  - places you go, things you see, dreams, thoughts or ideas

·         Create anywhere you go - portable materials that can go with you anywhere

·         Affordable creative outlet - minimal amount of materials needed

·         Non-intimidating – a journal page is so much friendlier than a large piece of blank paper or canvas

·         Art journaling can help you unlock yourself when you’re stuck on a larger piece or have “artist’s block”

Materials:

You do not need to buy any materials in advance of this workshop.

Except for the watercolor journal, all materials used in the workshop (paints, brushes, markers, pencils, etc.) are provided for use during the workshop and included in the workshop fee.

You can buy a watercolor journal from me the day of the workshop. I have tested many different watercolor journals from different manufacturers and selected the best for you. If you are already art journaling, you can bring your own watercolor journal or watercolor sketchbook, just make sure your paper is at least 140 lb, preferably cold press.

You can bring any watercolor paints or brushes you have, or you can borrow mine. If you have a favorite marker or calligraphy pen that you like to use in your art, bring it along.
