Learn to Record a Daily Painting Journal with
Professional Artist, Gizem Bozkurt
Learn my artwork and illustration style
This course is for anyone who wants to paint beautiful landscapes, greenery, and night paintings with gouache and acrylic paints.
Creating a visual journal is a very special thing for me; it is an amazing way to preserve memories and keep my feelings alive. It's like taking my life's story and transforming it into a physical form.
In this course, I am going to show you how to create your own art journal.
We will go over how I decide what to paint, what to write in each entry, where I look for inspiration, as well as my tips and tricks on all the materials I use.
By the end of this course, you will have started to create your own visual journal step by step, and you will know how to paint sparkly night lights, sea waves, and beautiful garden and forest views.

Hi! I am Gizem. I studied art in 2012 in Turkey and I've been painting for 15 years. At first, all I did was pencil drawings, then I decided to take drawing classes to learn more about it.
After learning the basics of drawing at the age of 16, I gained the confidence to start colored paintings myself. I studied art teaching in Instanbul and improved myself more every day.
Then I realized that learning how to paint is not about talent, it is all about practice. So I would love to share what I've learned with you so far and help make sure every special day last for you for ever!
