From Art Journaling to Art
drawing, watercolor, and more techniques for the mixed-media artist
a video by Jane LaFazio, published by Cloth Paper Scissors Workshop
My instructional video, From Art Journaling to Art, is in four chapters. First, materials. The great thing about watercolor journaling is that you need so few materials~ and they are portable! In chapter two, I show you how to draw what you see in pencil, ink, and then paint with watercolor. (Special guest student Pokey Bolton!) Chapter three, how to complete your page and create a composition by adding lines and journaling. In chapter four, I give you tons of ideas to leverage the art from your journal pages into your other mixed media and sewing projects.
I’m quite proud of this video, and I’ll think you’ll learn a lot from it.
Carolyn wrote me “Watching your video (From Art Journaling to Art) is what first got me started drawing and sketching. Until then, I did not believe I could draw.”
