Course Description:

Journaling can be an enormously rewarding experience regardless of the type of journaling you do. Whether you use your journal for planning, tracking, recording, or simply as a creative outlet, adding watercolor can kick your practice up to the next level.

Watercolors provide endless creative opportunities, but many are nervous to try it. In this course, I’ll lay out everything you need to take on watercolor journaling without fear. I’ll give you a deep dive into the materials that you need, my recommendations, and how to choose the supplies that are right for your skill and budget.

Then I will show you how to combat perfectionism and be willing to make mistakes as you learn and grow. After that, I’ll explain my whole page planning process from the penciling to the painting, explain the basics of the bullet journal, then finally show you eight beginner-friendly watercolor techniques. At last, we’ll dive into three watercolor journaling projects that you can create right alongside me to help build your confidence and skill.

What You Will Learn:

  • Why watercolor journaling is rewarding
  • My recommended supplies
  • What I look for in a good journal
  • How to test your journal
  • How to battle perfectionism
  • My process for a page from start to finish
  • Bullet journal basics
  • How to add watercolor to your journal
  • 8 no-skill watercolor techniques for journals
  • 3 paint-along watercolor journaling projects

Enjoyable and Supportive

Shelby does a great job in expressing the problems and solutions that people may feel in relation to their own art before starting Watercolour in general, not just with Bullet Journaling. She shows her support in every lesson and gives step by step, the techniques to give a bit of flair to your own expressions upon the page. I found it was very enjoyable to watch & look forward to creating mine.

Oh hello, new favorite hobby!

I have never considered myself an artistic person, and never even attempted painting before. But this class, and the Little Coffee Fox website, gave me the confidence to give it a go and I enjoy it SO MUCH. Shelby's approach and attitude are perfect for a hesitant beginner. Thank you!

My review

This course is very informative, and the projects are simple to follow. The only issue is, if you try this in a normal journal, it could bleed through or do something weird on the paper. But if you have a watercolour journal, this is a really fun course to take!
