WELCOME

Welcome to the Art Lab with Jesse Petersen! In most of my courses, we explore a theme together, which is a great way to jumpstart your creative process. Working within a theme helps to focus your ideas, and choosing a color palette and a few key supplies can make a world of difference. It keeps you from getting overwhelmed by options, allowing you to spend more time creating and less time searching through your art supplies. Let’s dive in and let the Curiouser and Curiouser theme inspire your creativity!

THEME

Step into a world of whimsy as we explore the enchanting art of mixed media journaling, inspired by the magical journey of Alice. In this course, you'll create stunning layered backgrounds using acrylic gouache and collage paper, carve your own stamps, and dive deep into the curious themes of Lewis Carroll’s beloved fantasy. Whether you resonate with Alice’s fiery spirit or the contemplative nature of the Caterpillar, you’ll find prompts that invite personal expression and creative exploration. Think of it as a blend of a book club and an art journaling adventure. Join us, and come prepared to be curious and bold as we transform conversations about pools of tears, rabbit holes, and believing six impossible things before breakfast into colorful expressions of self-discovery within our art journals.
