Art journaling is the process of creating a visual diary - a very personal look at your own inner landscape, but also a place to experiment with art and mixed-media techniques that you can use in other projects, or that become an art form in and of themselves. For the first time ever, Jessica is teaming up with renowned artist & designer Nancie Rowe Janitz to bring you a class that combines traditional art journaling techinques with the ease and sophistication of a digital format! In this class, complete with an exclusive 200+ piece kit designed by Nancie, you'll jump-start your creativity and learn gorgeous mixed media techniques to add to your digital projects.

In our class, we'll experiment with adding brushwork from various media, including acrylics and watercolor, as well as combining traditional mixed-media techniques such as painting with bubble wrap with our all-digital format. At the end of class, you'll have 12 artist journal pages you've created yourself using brushes, stamps, vintage and modern collage imagery, stitches, type, photographs, and more!

As a framework for the class, Jessica will provide journaling prompts for each project to help guide your writing and sharpen the focus of your pages.

What You'll Learn in Class:

Writing journaling using prompts
Design theories related to art journaling
How to Install & stamp brushes
Blending multiple layers together
Digital painting
Use painterly backgrounds
