This course is a great and inspiring introduction to art journaling with excellent teaching from Mary Beth . The course is well supported by text lists of supplies .It was really good to see how the journal pages were created and a joy to look at the rich colourful spreads. Thank you so much I am now going to take all that I have learnt from the course to experiment with my own art journaling .

This class is a really great intro to Art Journaling! I appreciate Mary Beth’s style of teaching - there’s lots of tips!! She explains the what’s what of what she’s doing very well. The videos show her progress beautifully and her voice comes through clearly! As someone who has art journaled for years, I was thrilled to learn a few new things through this course!!

Warning viewing Mary Beth Shaw's Art Journaling course may cause viewers with the sudden urge to play in your own art journal, but I encourage you to watch the course all the way through. You may want to take notes as this course is jam packed with info and techniques.

Love all of it but the grid collaging was a new addition to my repertoire .

Loved the breakdown of how to create these awesome mixed media pages!

Loved the course. Great ideas for spring-boarding into larger works of art. Now I know a new and more painterly way no use all of those Ranger distressed crayons I had to have.

Thank you, Mary Beth for a lovely course! I first discovered you on Wanderlust 2019 and I love your stencils! Your method for selecting magazine elements to collage was like an AHA moment for me. I tried it and I am sure it will help make my pages much more interesting. I also appreciate seeing. the process you use to create a collage piece. VERY helpful info for a newbie. Thanks again!

Thank you Mary-Beth for providing this excellent art journalling workshop. I have added to my toolkit and can't wait to continue working with the tools and techniques you demonstrated in this series!

Best teacher, best teaching artist, pleasant to listen to her voice. Bonus she creates artistic resources and isn't afraid to say she likes products, in her videos, that don't happen to be Stencil Girl Products. When you are the owner, founder you can make your own rules as you go. MaryBeth Shaw sets the bar high for other companies when it comes to exercising freedom to reach for artists, for products, for design, don't pull back thinking of the end, push forward for the unknown. That's what I get from MaryBeth Shaw's teaching.

I received this class as a freebie on the 2020 Sketchbook Revival. I think the course was very well done and quite informative. Thank you so much for the detailed information.

This course just resonated with me! I love color, texture and organic looking work and this gave me some tools to really explore and express myself. Mary Beth was really easy to follow and understand and I like that there was always a list of products she used. I'd really like to know where she found that one sponge that she spread the paint with in the first lesson! Haven't been able to find that! Thanks so much!

great course - lots of great info. Instructor is fantastic

Fabulous! Clear instruction and great tips! Loved it!

Wonderfully presented course

Thank you, Mary Beth, for offering this thru Sketchbook Revival. I tried every exercise, bought some stencils, and LOVED it! I like your art style and teaching style. Love stencils. I thought the tutorial was excellent.

I liked it so much, I want to play right now, even though I have to go to sleep. Thank you for the inspiration!

I've been art journaling for years, now, but I love to watch videos, hoping to pick up some more ideas. This class was totally amazing to me. Mary Beth shared so many tips and techniques as she worked on everything, like paper, how to keep it from bubbling up, how different products work, why she makes her choices, what her thinking is as she works. I've got pages of notes on things to try. Thank you so so much. Judy

I've gessoed several spreads since starting this. I like watching MB's process.. It's wonderful to witness "errors" or oops (as Carolyn Dube calls them). Always exciting to learn of products new to me, such as the Golden Super Matte Medium (their new name for it) and new uses for existing supplies (alcohol inks, for instance). I spent time tearing and cutting pages and papers in my stash last night so they are more ready for action. I am usually poky (or non participating) about completing online classes. I appreciate the format of this - the complete in themselves components , rather than step by step. inspiring! Thank you
