Ring in the New Year Right with No Excuses!

Do you often say I wish I could be more creative,

spend more time doing some art

 

but I don't have the time!

Well now there is the No Excuses Way to Art Journal

 

Whether you have never picked up a pencil or are an old pro this is the way to go!

 

 

No More Excuses Art Journaling Series

 

The program is centered on using a desk calendar as the basis of an art journal while incorporating art journaling, goal setting, writing, idea making, sketching, watercoloring, stamp carving and collage.  It is a daily, weekly, and monthly system that provides prompts, ideas, quotes, poems, and reminders to add to your journal.

 

Through this process you  learn step by step pen and ink drawing and introduction to watercolor to name a few of the skills.   Students who had never picked up a brush end up going on to confidently paint using watercolors.  Seasoned artists have used this program as a springboard for their own work. Both rave about these workshops. It's like getting a jammed packed art infusion over the course of a year in only minutes a day.  

You will receive prompts, ideas, quotes, poems, and reminders to add to your journal.

Create A journal that will carry you through the year so that you can incorporate art into your daily life in a quick, easy and fun way!
