This is the first part of a series of classes on art journaling. Would you like to start your own art book, but you don’t know how? Do you find it difficult to set up a page? Or do you just want to have more inspiration and get and keep your creative process going? Then this is the perfect class for youIn the first part I explain everything to you; what is art journaling, what you need and how to come up with a theme for your journal and set goals. Then we will start creating a background. Finally, I fill my pages with houseplants and show how I use Derwent pencils.

“During the Art Journaling course I learned a lot. It was my first experience with this and I have now started my second book. Each lesson we worked with a different theme and I was inspired to try something new that I could continue with at home. Marloes gives good explanations about the structure of the pages and the use of color. While working in my journal, my personal goal was to ‘break patterns’. Painting allowed me to get out of my head and process things. I was very happy with an explanation about the repairing the cover of my book. This gives me a nice end result and a journal to be proud of!”

“The 12-week Art Journaling course is – without exaggeration – the best course I’ve ever done. The variety of the lessons is so great! I learned how to make a good background for a mixed media project, how to draw patterns for a background, how to sketch a beautiful flower from different perspectives or how to make a good composition, but of course also all about the use of colour. My empty art journal has become well filled in those 12 weeks! I still find it super fun to continue working in it and to browse back every now and then. Art journaling was completely new to me when I started the course, but now I can’t stop, it’s so much fun to do!
That’s why I signed up for a second art journaling class. During this series of lessons I learned to paint even more ‘from nature’: tree bark, leaves, birds, but also beautiful boxes, for example. That was very educational and I’m going to like painting that way more and more.
Luz often took me out of my comfort zone, for example by asking me to take care of several pages in my journal at the same time or by using unusual materials. Surprising!! The lesson about aboriginal art was also super fun; I never knew that really every symbol has its own meaning.
During this course I learned a lot of new things and I can continue with that for the time being. For me, art journaling is increasingly becoming a daily activity and a method of expression in which I can lose myself completely. It gives me peace and structure, very nice!”
