classes & workshops
In this course we will be art journaling. I will be using a plethora of art supplies and explaining how I use these supplies while discussing composition and mixed media techniques. I will demonstrate some portraiture and will teach you different ways I approach this in my art journal. We will work on several spreads so you can try different styles and find new ways of growing your art skills.
We will go into each spread by layering handwriting with paint and gesso. We will build upon those layers with mixed media and adhering paper and ephemera. Then we will add a focal point and find a way to express a thought or feeling through your journaling. You will learn new skills while creating something you love.
Try whatever you want - this is for YOU! Get inspired by an artist you admire or create something original. Make a mess, paint over what you don't like, rip pages out and throw them in the trash. Take pictures and post them on social media or never show one living soul.
When you’re stuck, art journaling sets you free. You open yourself up and let your frustrations go. You gift yourself the pleasure of experimentation. You discover that you have something to say. You open your heart.
This is a fun online course and I am happy to have you join me for the love of flowers! The classes will be immediately available for you to watch at your own pace. In this class I take you through some of the techniques that I use to paint florals whether it is on old books or on journal covers or scrap pages! I will give you an introduction and supply list and I have filmed several different projects for you to learn from. I walk you through my thought process and show you how I use my paints and brushes. I try to keep it open and honest and real so you can see my process as I make decisions in real time about how to improve my pieces. You should be able to start practicing florals and make some of your own fun pieces that you can sell, display around your house or send as gifts or cards. Spending time creating should be fun and meditative—an act of self care and I am thrilled to share this time with you!
