New Class: Art Journal Prompts 01!

Hey you guys, exciting news! My newest class for Big Pictures Classes goes live on Monday (July 23rd, 2018)! I absolutely love working with BPC to bring you some really fun techniques and ideas in my classes.

What’s the new class?

Art Journal Prompts

What’s it about? Exactly as the title suggests, this course is a prompt based class. In the class I share 5 journaling/writing prompts and 5 art technique prompts to use in your journal, as well as process videos using both types of prompts to create 4 spreads from start to finish and to help inspire you to get started in your art journal!

Do you ever get “blank page syndrome”? Where you open up your art journal, but then you’re not sure where to start? I occasionally do, which is why I created this class! I find prompts to be the perfect solution to get over the blank page. You can follow them to the letter, or just use them as a starting point. My favorite lesson in the class is lesson 5, because I show you how to make a messy collage, that will totally cover up the scary white page, without fear of “making a mistake”.

There are 7 lessons included in this class.

Lesson 1 is the the introduction, but I’ve also included a tutorial for binding your own Traveler’s Notebook insert, which is the type of journal I use in the course!

Lessons 2 and 3 include the prompts we’ll be working with.

And lessons 4-7 are all process videos where we’ll start making art journal pages! The fun stuff!!

New Online Class: Watercoloring in Your Art Journal

Hey everyone, I wanted to let y’all know that I have a brand new online class out! Last year I taught my first online class with Big Picture Classes and I’m so thrilled to be teaching a 2nd class there as well (and plans for more! Shhh!).

What’s the new class?

Watercoloring in Your Art Journal.

What’s it about? Exactly as the title suggests, this course is all about watercolors and how to use them in your art journal. You’ll learn how to add dreamy, whimsical effects to your art journal with watercolors! I share my favorite techniques for achieving stunning spreads with watercolor pans, tubes, pencils, etc! For every technique I teach, I also share a start-to-finish process for using that technique to create spread in my journal!

I’ve included 8 lessons in this class, with each one including a video! You can see sneaks of them all on the class page here. I cover all of my favorite techniques, such as using salt, creating glue resists, and working over gesso. Some of the techniques include creating dreamy watercolor clouds, and silhouette shapes!

This class launches Monday, February 19th. To sign up, you can start a free 2-week trial of Big Picture Classes!
