    Combine the power of words with the beauty of art in your watercolor art journal. This workshop will focus on how to build rich and seemingly complex pages and textured backgrounds for text, words, mini collages, photos, poetry and other artistic endeavors. Starting with a simple drawing, Jacqueline will demonstrate how she uses different shapes and page design to create an interesting journal page. Using gesso, watercolor, pens and markers, you will incorporate watercolor paintings with your journaling on colorful backgrounds, as each journal page will become a work of art.
