Heart Journal

with Essie Ruth

INFUSE YOUR ART JOURNAL WITH EMOTION

The Heart Journal is a very special e-course, designed to get you connecting with your emotional self, and exploring her in your art journal.

We’ll look at how great artists have conveyed emotion in their own work, and draw inspiration from them. We’ll spend time thinking about our artistic media and how we can best use them to communicate our feelings. We’ll think about our own relationships with different emotions, and what we think about them. And most importantly, we’ll take everything we learn and use it to create expressive, satisfying, rewarding works of art.

If you’d like to start putting your heart into your art journal, then this course will help you find ways to do just that.
