Lesson 1: Handmade Art Journal

In our first lesson we will be making a handmade art journal, small enough to take with you on some garden walks or to keep in your bag so you are ready to create when inspiration strikes! Art journals are a great way to stay loose and experiment with new techniques or art supplies. We will fill our pages with beautiful colors, detailed mark-making and collage elements.

Lesson 2

Mounted Florals on a Wooden Panel

In our 2nd lesson we will creating a mixed media piece on watercolor paper which then will be mounted on a wooden cradle board for a polished look and feel. Pick your color palette from one of the art journal spreads, or use mine to follow along.  ​ We will be creating a little floral explosion by building up the petals with paints, pencils and wax crayons, while using collage pieces to add on depth and color saturation. ​

Lesson 3

Blooming Bouquet on Canvas

In Lesson 3 we will create a beautiful bouquet flowing with rounded floral shapes on canvas that will be rich in color and detail. We will be primarily painting with acrylic paints while mixing in some acrylic inks as well. Staying loose with our brush strokes in the beginning and then fine tuning towards the end.

Suggested Art Supplies

Please know that it is not my intention for you to purchase all the supplies! You may have a lot of these already, and I always suggest that you use your favorites supplies on hand. And, always stay true to the colors that you love. All my lessons can easily be done in a color palette of your choosing. I am listing options for supplies as well – some are more expensive than others so I want to make sure you know that there are different brands out there for the same thing.
