I have been taking an online art journaling workshop being taught by Vivian Bonder, the talented Australian mixed media artist and journaler. There are five parts to the course and I have just completed part 1, which is primarily creating backgrounds and putting your journal together. Covers and additional work on each page will be taught in parts 2-4. I thought I would share some sample pages throughout completing the parts of the workshop. Below you will find a few spreads from part 1, backgrounds only. I have also included some close-up shots. Click images to enlarge.

I bet it's an awesome workshop!!! Viv is wonderful!!
These are gorgeous!! I am so happy that you are journaling now!!
Hugs!
me.
Your painted pages are beautiful!
I love the splattered paint, and the circle (from a glass bottom perhaps?)...I longed to hear more description of type of papers, paints used...I hope you'll share when you add to these pages as well.
And yes, wow, I went to Vivian's blog and what a find that is!
Can one have too many artists to visit? NEVER!!! ;-) thanks for sharing! ;-)
Fabulous! I love online workshops that you can work at your own pace with. This one seems like it will be great...I've gotta check it out.
Peace & Love,

Oooo, backgrounds! My favourite part of mixed media work. I could just dive into these ones.
I scratch my head..
How come I have never heard of this amazing earthy grrl before?? Is it just us Aussies who resist shining the light on their fellow countrymen-type-persons? *growl* Had this chat with Judy Wilko too. Anyway, thanks so much for the link, she is firmly in my favorites now.
I am looking forward to seeing where you take these Seth - fabulous.

NOW you're playin'my song.
What a cool idea....an on-line class. Good for those of us who live hither and yon.
As usual....nice work.
heya seth, thanks so much for your sweet words. your pages look almost magical to me, probably because of the use of colour.. love what you do with the workshop!
love the closeups, little works of art in their own right
Lost Luggage was faster - delicious is just what I was thinking!
hmmmm delish....love the close ups....yum,yum...........
These pages look very inviting, and that´s what journal pages should look like before you´ve written a single word ...
Geez Seth, these backgrounds look great just on their own... Sounds like a great class to take.
You've got some beautiful effects with these papers! Some of them look like they came from the earth or the sky.
Online course, now that sounds awesome.
beautiful work.. soothing...
love the backgrounds-nothing cures my art craving more that just painting pages when that's all i have time for-thanks for sharing yours!

Hey seth,
I am so impressed with your work both in your art journal and here on your blog. I am so grateful you chose to share it with us. Simply beautiful pages...cant wait to see more! :) Marcy
Excellent! I often start my painting with these sort of backgrounds. Backgrounds are, in my opinion, extremely important and worth spending a lot of time on.
Your painted pages look amazing. Love your color scheme. Can't wait to see it all finished.
Very nice, Seth. I will be waiting to see the next steps. Beautiful colors!
Yummy...wonderful....colors....so richt to see them tonight on a white, cold, December night! I just want to jump into them. Can't wait to see where they take you! Best - Fran
