Class Descripton
In this class, we will be capturing our Lucky Star adventures in a mini travel journal. We will be using watercolor, short journaling, collage (optional), hand-lettering and anything-goes sketching to document our favorite camp activities and memories.
In preparation for this class, use your phone to photograph memorable Lucky Star experiences leading up to this class. This could be photos of food, activities, friends, cabin, campgrounds, etc. We will use these photos as reference when sketching in our journal. No previous drawing experience is necessary!
Optional: If you have paper ephemera, stickers, receipts, or anything else that represents your Lucky Star adventure in some fashion, bring it to include in your travel journal.
Materials to Bring
- Blank mini journal. I use these 5 ½ x 3 ½ Moleskin pocket journals. Note: the pages are VERY thin. I’m ok with that because it makes the journal feel less “precious” to me and I’m more likely to try new things in it. If you want to use a mini journal made with water color paper, that is great too. Here’s a link to a 3 ½ x 5 ½ Moleskin watercolor journal.
- Waterproof black ink felt tip pen (ie. Sharpie fine tip felt pen, Posca, or Micron)
- Mechanical pencil with eraser
- Watercolor set
- Very thin round watercolor brushes.
- Sakura gelly roll pens in your favorite colors. I usually use white and fun metallic colors.
- Washi tape and clear scotch tape
- Ruler. Bring what you have or opt for this clear mini ruler, which is great for travel.
- Optional- If you want to include collage, bring a Glue Stick. I will be using these acid-free, non-toxic glue sticks that glide on blue but dry clear. (Available from DickBlick),
- Optional- Scissors
- Optional- Colored pencils,
- Optional- Date rubber stamps and ink
