This month we read A World of Artist Journal Pages, curated by Dawn DeVries Sokol, and I somehow didn't realize that the book was published in 2015! Ha ha. The clues were all there, but I somehow missed them. It wasn't until I started to put together the PowerPoint presentation for the livestream that I realized my mistake.
Here is the key slide from my PowerPoint presentation in the video:
Another title for this Book Club could be: A book doesn't have to have explicit step-by-step instructions to be useful to you. By making these four types of lists, you can turn any book into an extremely useful tool.
If you missed it, here's the replay, where I explain all about how these lists work:
And here is the circle page that we made in the video:
If you make a page based on this lesson, please share it with me. I'd love to see it!
And if you want to go on an art journaling adventure with me, I hope you'll join my new daily art journaling class:
It's a wonderful class packed with useful tips and tricks and lots of motivation and encouragement towards artistic freedom.
I previously offered two other daily art journaling classes that follow a similar format – one in 2011 and one in 2014 - so how is this differerent?
- It has been NINE years since I created, "30 Days in Your Junque Journal" and TWELVE years since I created, "30 Days in Your Art Journal."
- I have changed enormously as an artist. The techniques I use are different. My interests are different. My favorite materials are different.
- I have grown as a teacher. With more than a decade of online teaching under my belt, I've learned a lot and I am better at teaching complicated ideas.
- I've learned so many things over the past 12 years. I have more and new knowledge to share.
- The way I use an art journal is different than it has been. It's more of sketchbook these days.
I've grown and changed a lot since 2011/2014 and so has my art. My daily art journal has always been a cornerstone of my creative practice. I created this class because I wanted to have a class that reflects where I am in my art journal right now. A class that reflects the tools, the techniques, and the topics that are interesting to me right at this moment.
All of that said, my prices haven't increased. I always try to create great value for you. This class is the same price as the one I offered in 2014.
Tons of content.
Lifetime access.
High quality instruction.
Abundance of inspiration.
An art habit that will last a lifetime.
A focus on PROCESS.
Thanks for stopping by!

The next Book Club will be on October 18 at 12:15pm. We will be discussing "Beginner's Guide to Abstract Art" by Laura Reiter.
I hope to see you there!
Hi Julie,
I am writing to suggest a book for Book Club. It is “Create Perfect Paintings: an artist’s guide to visual thinking” by Nancy Reyner. It was published in 2017 by North Light Books. I came across it when I was searching for guidance on how to critique my own work, after my critique group refused to come to grips with critiquing. I’m an art quilter and the book is all about painting, but aside from some stuff about paint colors, almost all of what it talks about applies to any art medium. The pages on critiquing your work and helpful solutions were worth the price to me. The few negative reviews on Amazon pan it as a beginner book and a plug for Golden products. I found it to have many practical suggestions for improving my composition skills.
