You will begin to fill pages with beautiful colors and textural backgrounds while exploring drawing, watercolor, collage and mixed media techniques. Two days of creativity will include plein air sketching, nature rubbings as well as playing with patterns and motifs using stencils, other found materials and collected ephemera.
Participants are encouraged to bring found objects, photos, receipts, pressed leaves, etc.
You will receive a basic travel journaling kit for the $50 fee that includes brilliant watercolors, sketching supplies and a portable journal. Karen will also have additional materials and supplies on hand for you to use during the class. Optional upgrades to the basic kit will be available for purchase as well so you can continue your creative journaling at home or on the road.
