A complete underwater art-journal adventure
Build an imaginative world one playful layer at a time.
This class guides you through creating the journal itself, designing mermaids and fish, making reusable collage fodder, and completing seven richly layered page spreads.
You do not need to be confident drawing people, painting realistically, or planning perfect compositions. The projects are broken into approachable steps so you can focus on color, texture, shape, story, and creative play.
Create the Journal
Cut and bind the pages, then finish the journal with a painted mermaid cover.
Make the Fodder
Create mermaids, tails, whimsical fish, and scale tabs to use throughout your pages.
Build the Spreads
Layer painted shapes, collage, drawing, and details into seven finished underwater scenes.
More than a collection of projects
Create one complete, wonderfully layered journal.
Every lesson contributes to the same imaginative underwater world. The mermaids, fish, painted papers, tabs, and decorative elements appear throughout the journal so the finished book feels connected and full of personality.
