Behind the Scenes of Amy’s Watercolor Travel Journal Workshops

Step behind the scenes of Amy Bogard’s  workshops and discover how each one is thoughtfully crafted to inspire.

Ever wonder what goes into planning a creative retreat-style workshop? Here’s a peek into the care, creativity, and magic behind the scenes.

1. Setting the Scene

From inspiring classroom studio spaces to historic countryside inns, each location is chosen to inspire and ignite our creativity.

2. Gathering Supplies

Amy guides workshop participants in their selection of the right supplies for their journey.  Many times people realize they already have much of what they need.  If there are colors necessary to capture the spirit of a specific place, Amy always has those on hand to share.

3. Setting the stage for successful sketches

Amy and her team  find the right places to spark inspiration to sketch, no matter the experience level of any participant.  Beginners will find captivating shapes in objects and close up scenes while more seasoned artists can pursue more complicated compositions.  

4. Cultivating Connection

Workshops aren’t just about painting and drawing. They’re about community, stories, and shared curiosity.  You’ll find you come away with a more open heart and new friendships!

5. Honoring the Process

There’s no pressure to perform. Just an invitation to show up, play, and see what unfolds.  Amy is there to offer new skills and facilitate along the way.
