Journal your vacation or special events
Have you ever wanted to journal some of your vacations or special events? I’ll
show you what I use and how to draw and write what you see. You don’t have to
draw very well to do journaling. We will use some drawing, painting, collage, and
other interesting techniques to add to your pages. Call the school to register Material List Follows

Journal your vacation or special events
In 4 two hour classes, we will learn enough to get started on our journals. If you already
journal we can work on improvements or just get new ideas to make it better. We will
schedule some classes later to continue improving your journaling skills such as; mixing
colors, how to draw what you see, how to draw quickly and polishing-up your illustration
techniques.
Materials needed:
1.Fanny pack
2.Small watercolor set that is meant for outdoor painting.
There are many brands, some are as cheap as $16. They generally come with a pointed
watercolor brush. I use a Windsor and Newton Cotman set with 12 colors. If a brush is
not included bring a Windsor and Newton Series 707 size #3 sable brush.
3. Small jar
1 oz. size, something like a little honey jar or jelly jar from a restaurant. This needs to be
water-tight. Put into a small zip lock bag till you know for sure if it’s water-tight.
4. Small container with water (1oz.)
5. Journal that will fit into fanny pack
I like a 5x7 with black hard cover and spiral bound. It usually has paper suitable for
sketching but will take watercolor. Canson and Strathmore make journals. Bring what
you have and we’ll see what works best.
6. A waterproof fine tip black pen. I use Zig Millenium black .01 pen or
Micron Pigma .01 or similar tool
7. A mechanical pencil that the lead can be retracted to keep a tip. It can be
HB or 2H lead
8. Small blunt tip scissors
9. Glue stick
