"Sweet!"

ink and watercolor journal page
On Saturday, March 22nd, I had the wonderful opportunity to teach a creative journaling mini-workshop at the Center for the Visual Arts in Wausau, WI. The class was comprised of a very fun and creative group of artists who loved learning and giving their own spin to some of my favorite journaling techniques. Loved it!
We got our creativity flowing with a couple of writing exercises, moved on to sketching and watercolor techniques, followed by designing our own stencils and learning handy tips and techniques for working our pages in stages, and then put it all together in creating beautiful and unique journal entries during some studio time.
Here are a few pictures from the class...
After creating handmade stencils, the fun begins by building up
layers of shapes, texture and color
layers of shapes, texture and color
Found and hand-made stencils layered with drawing and doodling
Bring on the layers--a journal page with watercolor, acrylics, printing,
handmade stencils, and purchased stencils
Tissue paper transforming into painted paper for future collage or journal work
By the end of the day, one of my demo pages had evolved into a journal page. I will add more to it, but so far I am liking the layers and lighter color palette.
I will be teaching this again at a later date in the fall at the Center for the Visual Arts in Wausau. The dates will be announced on my blog and website, and it will be in the CVA newsletter.
