Course Description
- Embarking on a journey, whether near or far, opens the door to a world of experiences waiting to be captured and remembered. One way to preserve these moments and turn them into cherished artifacts is through the art of travel journaling.
- For me, keeping a travel journal has become a deeply fulfilling hobby, a passport to reliving my adventures and emotions long after the journey ends. It’s a way to encapsulate the essence of a place and time, and through this workshop, I’m excited to share my travel journaling techniques and practices with you.
- In this workshop, we’ll dive into the world of travel journaling together. I’ll introduce you to my personal sketchbooks, offering insights into how I work while traveling and how I transform my experiences into captivating visuals. We’ll explore a variety of watermedia techniques, and I’ll demonstrate how to create beautiful entries with minimal watercolor supplies, making it easy to carry your artistic passion with you on your journeys.
- Our journey together will include starting a new journal, utilizing water media that are not only effective but also convenient to take along on your adventures. This workshop will be an informal and relaxed space where you can freely express your creativity, ask questions, and learn from fellow travelers.
- Whether you aim to document your past travels or seek inspiration for future ones, this workshop promises to be a rewarding experience. It will ignite your imagination and transform how you document your journeys, allowing you to capture the essence of your adventures in a way that words alone simply cannot. Join us on this artistic voyage into the world of travel journaling, where every page becomes a portal to your fondest memories.

If you don’t regularly use Zoom, we recommend you join your first session 10-15 minutes early in case your computer needs to install or update Zoom.
How do I join my course?

The recordings are viewable within the MastriusChat platform, and cannot be downloaded.

You’ll be able to watch the session’s recording. If you have questions the recording doesn’t address, you can ask them in the chat feed of your course’s private MastriusChat group.
What is MastriusChat?
MastriusChat is an online discussion platform. You and your fellow course registrants will be assigned to a private MastriusChat group where you can connect and support eachother via the chat “feed”. Your group is also where you’ll access the session recordings. Other resources in your MastriusChat group include a link to join your course sessions, and a library your instructor can use to share resources.
What is a Navigator?
A Navigator is an artist who joins your course to ensure both instructor and registrants have an enjoyable experience. They support (as required) with technology, timekeeping, moderating questions, and between-session discussions on MastriusChat. The Navigator has also joined the course as participant, and just like you, they’re wanting to grow their skills and learn the material.
I’m not ready to register because I still have questions. Who do I contact?
