By the end of this class, you’ll be able to overcome artist’s block, build a sustainable art journaling habit, and create expressive artwork in just 10 minutes a day! Join artist and educator Ashton Womack for a 7-day art journaling challenge designed to help you loosen up, trust your intuition, and rediscover the joy of creating.

Whether you’re an artist feeling stuck or a beginner looking for a new creative hobby, this class will help you make time for creativity without the pressure of perfection. You’ll learn how to put together a small art supply kit, use daily prompts to spark inspiration, and experiment with drawing, painting, writing, and collage. You’ll also practice making intuitive creative decisions and finding inspiration in reference photos, your imagination, and everyday materials. No formal art training is required! All you need is a journal or sketchbook and a few supplies you feel comfortable using. By the end of the 7 days, you’ll have a collection of journal pages, practical tools for working through creative blocks, and a simple routine you can continue long after the challenge ends. Plus, you’ll get 30 bonus prompts to keep your creative momentum going!

Set yourself up for a creative practice that fits into just a few minutes a day. You’ll explore the class project, gather your materials, and learn how to establish a simple daily journaling routine. You’ll then put your setup into practice with a color collage exercise designed to help you begin creating without overthinking.
