The Art of the Illustrated Journal

 NEW VIDEO! 

The Art of the Illustrated Journal

You'll learn the fundamentals of watercolor, how to draw and paint from life and references, and how to find limitless artistic inspiration in everyday life. Throughout the course, you’ll work on thoughtfully-designed projects that help you hone your illustration, sketching, and watercolor skills and breathe life into your own illustrated journal. 

You may not consider yourself a “writer,” and the good news is, you don’t have to be! Words can act as both an informative element and a creative one. I use words as a design element — to tie multiple images together, to balance a page, to serve as a page heading, and even to cover a mistake. Creativity comes with mistakes and creative solutions. Yes, I make mistakes!

During our time together I look forward to sharing tips and secrets to jumpstart the creative process. To tap into parts of your brain to expand upon and tell a story through images and words. I believe you’ll come away excited and inspired about your work! Best of all your illustrated journal will uniquely reflect your creative style and voice.

The Illustrated Journals tell a bigger story: of travel, world events, family, gardens, or a quirky funny side. 

My life experiences are captured in the pages of my illustrated journals, the depth of joy, beauty, wonder or sorrow.
