Category: Journals
I have kept illustrated journals, since 2008 and they now number over 30 and growing. Originally I kept a sketchbook, photo album and diary, all separately, but then I combined them to make life easier. I use a variety of books and media, some have been better than others for painting , but you learn! Anyone can keep a journal and I run two or three courses a year in October/November to encourage you to begin! Please look at the Events page to find dates.
