The Box Journal Method

Join the live class on 15th January 7-8.30pm GMT

(or access the recording from Saturday 17th January)


In this workshop, I’ll show you my personal technique for box journaling — drawing little boxes across a sketchbook page then filling them with tiny drawings. It’s an easy, flexible system that turns ordinary days, trips and memories into a colourful visual diary. Use it as a weekly or monthly log, a travel record, a mindful gratitude practice, or simply a way to draw more.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to lay out a page with boxes so your composition looks balanced.

  • Quick approaches to thumbnailing and drawing small scenes.

  • Simple colour methods (pencils, watercolour wash, markers) that work at small scale.

  • Prompts, ideas and templates to keep the practice going.

Who this is for: beginners and doodlers, busy people who want a creative habit, travellers, memory-keepers and anyone who’d like a mindful drawing practice.

Materials you'll need:

  • Something you enjoy drawing with (pen/fineliner/pencil)

  • Something to colour with (coloured pencils, markers, or watercolour)

  • A sketchbook (or any paper you like)

(These are intentionally minimal — the course is about using what you already have.)

 

What People Are Saying:

Lucia! I cannot thank you enough for re-lighting my creative mojo and letting me be wonky...My mum and my daughter are Fine Art Police Squad, and so I never ever picked up a pencil or a brush until your very first art session I took with you a month ago. It has been a complete revelation. You have the most amazing ability to draw (literally) the madness out of people and allow them to embrace it! I feel like I have found my people!

You make everything so simple and achievable. Thank you sooo much for sharing your knowledge and passion with us. I couldn't sleep without finishing it! Sending lots of love your way.
