Journal Joy
Welcome to Art Journal Jamboree!
A bundle of 10 creative art journal sessions, where I share with you a mix of techniques, ideas and approaches to inspire and delight you in your art practice!
The first 5 of these lessons were filmed LIVE so every moment is caught in real-time, including my chit-chat and decision making process. You can play along and work alongside me, or watch first and then take up your journal and dive in.
The second 5 are pre-recorded, so are a little neater in presentation, but equally as engaging and exciting !
These are all real pages from my own art journals, sharing various mixed media techniques, guidance, experiments and ideas.
As with all of my classes, you have unlimited access once enrolled and can watch as many times as you wish.
About This Course
What is included?
Over 9 hours of video lesson demonstration and instruction, along with supply lists, suggestions and reference images where needed.
Plus, I am always around if you have any questions or want more info on any of the supplies I use.
I am a newbie-help!
No problem!
Any level of experience is welcome! There will be something in this for you if you are a seasoned mixed media artist, or of you are new to the idea of art journal work.
Do I need loads of art supplies?
Each lesson has a list of the supplies that I used, but many of them cross over and are simply used in different ways in other lessons and I always encourage students to be inventive and use what they have, offering suggestions for alternatives wherever possible. If you DO see something used that really calls to you, then you can always get it later on.
if you are starting from scratch, then I would say white gesso and a basic set of water-based paints are a good place to start. Build up from there !
Take a look at the lessons included below!
Curriculum
Your instructor - Sue Young
Greetings from the heart of picturesque Cornwall, UK, a land steeped in the rugged beauty that inspired Poldark, and a source of endless inspiration for my own creative endeavors. As a mixed media artist with a background in Fashion/Textiles and Fine Art, my journey has woven through the delicate craft of glass engraving to the intricate design of bridal accessories. My dedication to the arts is matched only by my passion for teaching. With decades of experience, I've guided countless students through immersive workshops, fostered collaborative exhibitions, and now, in the digital realm, I provide an accessible and enriching learning experience to creatives across the globe.
Balancing my role as a single mother with a tireless work ethic, I built a life where art takes center stage from my quaint cottage studio. My commitment to you as an instructor is rooted in this lived experience; I strive not only to impart skills but also to ignite the transformative power of artistry within each student. My lessons, much like my art, are crafted with love, intention, and a strong belief in the affordability of creative education. Together, we will embark on a fulfilling journey, embracing both the joy of creation and the profound growth that comes with lifelong learning. Let's unfold your artistic narrative and fill the pages of your journal with the vibrant hues of your unique expression.
