This mixed media workshop will explores art journaling your travels- from mixed media, water colour, writing, photography and most importantly experiencing and integrating your adventures and your life.
Includes Bonus Europe '24 Edition!!
A journey to a new place or a journey across the journal page will both take you on a pilgrimage to the center of your own heart, to an understanding of your own truths, journeying simultaneously through the outer world and deep within the inner world. Journaling and traveling are both journeys on which, if you are receptive, you can create a deeper connection with yourself and your unique conversation with life. A Travel {Art} Journal is a container for the conversations you are having with your adventures and with life and create life long touchstones for your memories. This workshop explores some of the many ways that an art journal and travel experiences can intersect.

From Heiki Frank
"The Travel Vignettes course with Galia Alena is fascinatingly strong in its artistic expression. I travel often and intensively and was always looking for a way to capture my travel experiences artistically. I learned so much! Which materials to take, photos, page layouts or creating my own travel journals instead of buying them in a shop. There is so much to discover in this course. My travel journals have changed in such interesting ways, and I have become so brave to try and experiment with everything. When I am not longer able to travel in the distant future, I can sit in my armchair and remember them through my wonderful journals."
Includes new lessons (over 30 additional videos) from Prague, Switzerland, Norway and Amsterdam. Here is some of what is included:
