Art Journaling – Discoveries
Walk, collect, draw and marvel!
In the third part of the series of lessons on art journaling, you will explore a location of your choice. You will look for interesting objects to draw and collect in your art journal. You catch what you find so special about this place. In this class you will not only practice your drawing and painting skills, you will also train your eyes! You develop a new way of perceiving, in which you suddenly notice everything.
After taking your walk, you’ll have sketched, drawn patterns, and found objects to paste directly into your art journal, such as dried leaves and petals. How do you put everything together in your art journal? I’ll show you step by step how I do this myself. But that’s not all…
2 Bonus lessons
You will receive 2 bonus lessons with this course. In the first I show you several pages from my art journal, in which I describe how they came about. This gives you an idea of how to set up the pages in different ways. In the second bonus lesson, I’ll tell you everything you need to know about basic shapes and three-dimensional drawing.
This course was recorded in a beautiful place in France, so you can see with your own eyes how I capture’ this place in my art journal.
What you’ll get with this class:
- Approximately 3 hours in 17 separate video lessons in which I take you to a wonderful location and show you step-by-step how to collect, sketch and put everything together in your art journal;
- Some worksheets with questions about your unique location to experience your place with all your senses;
- 2 BONUS LESSONS;

“I already followed 3 online classes with Luz, ‘The Joy of Drawing Patterns’, ‘An Introduction to Art Journaling’ and ‘Flowers & Patterns’. It is all set up playfully and everything is explained very clearly step by step. In addition, Luz also gives all kinds of examples of how you can apply what you have learned. I am very enthusiastic and will continue to follow courses at Brave Art Academy!”
Capture your location in your art journal!
In this class you will look for finds, which you can process or paste directly into your journal. It’s best if you go for a completely new location, somewhere you’ve never been before. This can be a city trip, or a walk in the forest. This class suits perfectly if you are on holiday or if you go away for a weekend. Step out of your comfort zone and discover this new world with a curious eye. A walk, a round in or around the (holiday) house or a city walk… The possibilities are endless.

Mixed-media techniques
In this class you will work with various materials. Old book pages, beautiful pieces of paper, packaging of bread, finds from nature (I pay a lot of attention to how to dry leaves and flowers) and your own sketches. In the end, you put the most beautiful things together. When finishing in my art journal I use acrylic paint and some markers. I encourage you to think out of the box, as there are many resources you could use. Having said that, you don’t need much in order to follow the class. Although this is an art journal class, you’re free to work on any other substrate, for example mixed-media paper or canvas.
It doesn’t have to be perfect! Because you make a lot of sketches, there is always a good one that you can use directly in your journal. The class is a mix between working from yourself and observing and recording the world around you.
Art Journaling is for everyone!
This is a class on art journaling. You can participate if you have no experience at all, but also if you have been drawing, illustrating, painting or journaling for some time. The course invites you to play, try new things and above all, enjoy the process.
