Get More from Your Art with a Creativity Journal

Starting an art journal can seem daunting, but Ginger Cook's Canvas for Your Thoughts notebook makes capturing your creative journey simple. Whether you're new to journaling or want to organize video/lesson notes, an art journal maximizes your growth.

If journaling is new for you, begin by jotting down art-related thoughts as they strike. Did you have an aha moment while painting? Write it down! Want to remember a technique from a Ginger Cook video? Take notes to refer back to. Even copying down one of Ginger's inspirational “Gingerisms” keeps them top of mind.

Tips and Tricks

To make note-taking purposeful, try creating sections in your journal using sticky notes or dividers:

• Video Notes: Write the video name/date and log key techniques, tips, or concepts you want to remember.
• Gingerisms: Record your favorite Ginger inspirational quotes and words of wisdom.
• Color Mixing Recipes: Note combinations that create your perfect hues.
• Brainstorming: Freeform ideas, sketches, and plans for future paintings.
• Affirmations: Jot down positive mantras to read before painting like “I am brave in my creativity.”

Benefits

The act of writing imprints learning, while your journal becomes a flip-through resource full of artistic knowledge.

Working in sections also keeps your notes organized and easy to reference later. Add doodles, inspirational images, or color swatches as visual aids, too.
