Welcome

Welcome to the exciting world of creative art journalling! This course is designed to provide you with a medium that allows you to explore your ideas and thoughts in a fun and creative way.

Art journalling is all about self-expression and using different art techniques to create beautiful pages that reflect your unique style and personality.

One of the key aspects of art journalling is learning how to use colour and texture to create interesting backgrounds. This is where you can really let your creativity shine. Experiment with different paint colours, watercolour techniques, and mixed media to create stunning backgrounds that serve as the foundation for your journal pages.

Don't be afraid to play around and try new things – remember, there are no mistakes in art journalling, only opportunities for growth and discovery!

I hope you enjoy this mini-course
