How the Workshop is Delivered
I have created this class so you can take all the time you need and let the magic happen!
All sessions for the Self-guided study classes are up when you arrive. This means there’s no waiting for projects to be posted and you can take the course at whatever pace works for you.
You can revisit, rewatch, recharge and remind yourself of all the art supplies, all the drawing lessons, all the mixed media inspiration whenever you want.
You need never feel embarrassed about not ‘clicking’ with a new skill straightaway. It’s a terrible feeling when you feel left behind, or that you dont ‘get it’ and everyone else does in a learning situation! But you will NEVER feel that way in my classroom because you can pause and rewind, and ask questions.
Full instructions are on the site if this is your first online class experience. You are in safe hands!
What you Get
The classes are video based and typically between 7 and 20 minutes long each. Intense creative nuggets! I talk you through each of the art supplies, what they do and show you how to use them through a variety of drawing projects and exercises.

What you’ll need for the workshop
I want you to use whatever colour art supplies you have!
If you do want to get some supplies to make your experience extra yummy, I my art journal essentials kit is perfect for this workshop. It includes Inkredible pen, Magic Wand coloured pencils, Petite Palette Watercolours, Storytime Paint Pens, Charismatic Paint and a Large Watercolour Art Journal Get it here!
For materials to create on:
I believe life is too short for crappy paper, so treat yourself to some quality surfaces to create on:
Watercolor Paper:
At least 4 sheets (usually called Imperial or Full sheets) of different types of watercolor paper will be great! 150gsm or heavier. Look for Hot press (has smooth texture), Cold press (has some texture) or Rough press (lots of texture). Or get a Watercolour Art Journal.
Book Binding items if you want to make your own journal:
Check out my Book Binding kit here.

“I love Joynal! Who would have thought I could paint something like this? The fairy sitting on toadstools is a fabulous dancer. As she gets ready for her dance, fairies gather eagerly to admire her dazzling performance. I used colored pencils, acrylic paints, white pen, and watercolors.“

“Jane Davenport, I have had such a blast in this class! I make art all day long for other people but always got stumped with how to enjoy making art in my art journal for myself. My art is normally one dimensional, so yay for making this look more alive! LOVED this workshop!
