A Year of LightJournaling Mixed Media Course

Getting back into art as an adult is all due to the adult coloring book trend for me. I had given it all up and had been concentrating on the serious things in life. Getting back to my creative side has, however, made all the parts of my life better. The more art supplies I bought to color with, the more I wanted to play with the other art supplies that I’d tucked away. The more I played with color, the more I wanted to create and grow and learn and be able to call myself an artist too. Enter Life Book!

I looked for art classes in my area in watercolor and painting and drawing and couldn’t really find much but to improve the look of my Facebook newsfeed I’d started following artists in all areas that appealed to me. I tend to love looking at bright happy colors and beautiful whimsical characters, mermaids, and fairies, hand-lettered pages, and bits of ephemera adding to the artisticness of the piece. That opened me up to all of the artists across the world that give art classes online. What’s cool is that these classes in many ways are even better than going to a class locally because I don’t have to pack up all my supplies and I can stop the teacher and rewind everything they say whenever I need to. Many of the classes are lifetime access and some even allow you to download the videos of the classes for your own use.

Since 2018 Life Book has become more inclusive and holistic by opening the course up to other art forms (like clay work, photography, and writing) + Tamara is also bringing in some more wellness experts who will support people on their wellness/ personal development journey!!

I really can’t explain how much I am enjoying this art journaling -art therapy – get messy and happy experience led by Tamara Laporte from Willowing Arts. She heads up a team of a whole bunch of wonderful artists who share new lessons with our big group of loving and lovable beginning-to-expert artists to learn and enjoy.

Life Book 2017 opened up my art world and improved in Life Book 2018 but then I took a break in 2019. 2023 was amazing and I was introduced to some new fun & fantastic artists

It doesn’t matter that this class has already started, you have access to all the lessons for LIFE now AND you can download them to use offline whenever you’d like as well.
