Live Encore: Lettering Affirmations in Your Journal

Learn how to incorporate affirmations into your art journal—and letter them beautifully!

Artist and YouTuber Amanda Rach Lee has found that using affirmations in her journal is a powerful self-care practice—and wants to share that with you! In this 45-minute class—recorded using Zoom and featuring participation from the Skillshare community—she’ll not only talk about why affirmations are valuable, but also how to incorporate them into your art journal. 

To start, Amanda will quickly go over some brush lettering tricks and drills to prep you for writing out your affirmation in your journal. Then, she’ll talk about the power of affirmations to train your brain to be more kind to yourself, and how to choose an affirmation that speaks to you. Finally, you’ll work together to create a journal spread inspired by your affirmation. Along the way, students who participated in the live session were able to ask Amanda questions, giving you even more insight into her process.

Great for artists and journalers of any skill level, you’ll walk away with a beautiful spread and hopefully a greater appreciation of yourself. So grab your notebook, pens, and stationary items, and get ready to write out all the reasons that you’re great!
