JIYA IS ARTIST MEGAN QUINLAN'S FIRST FULL LENGTH COURSE
Looking for a way to combine your love of art journaling with your need to put your thoughts onto the page?
"These journals bring me such peace and comfort and really help me keep my feet on the ground. I'm almost able to keep a rountine for writing and I'm so excited because that has been one of my goals. Slowly but surely, I am trying to make space for more self care routines. It's baby steps, but every few months I add a new one."
-Megan Quinlan
CREATE JOURNAL SPREADS READY FOR WRITING
"I love working this way, so that I can just be inspired when I am ready to write . . . Just a few pages more and this journal will be done. It's been less than a month and it has served me so well. I have a new one at the ready with hues of summer on it's pages waiting to be started. I'm not sure I will wiz through this one quite so fast, but either way, they are my little best friends waiting for me to pour it all out. They never judge me, these little books. That is why I love them so."
-Megan Quinlan
Life throws curveballs.
Megan began using her writing journals a few years ago to help her use art while processing her busy, challenging days.
Take time to pause.
These journals are her sanity savers and her “best friends” who are with Megan through thick and thin.
Work through it all.
You too can create little arty, judgment free zones where it is safe to practice some self-care and make really fun art too.
Come Journal into your Art (JIYA) with Megan and have instant lifetime access to this course.
Closed captioning in English will be available available for the JIYA course a few days after it opens!
The Reviews Are In!

I loved this course! I made several journals in different styles and I use many of the techniques in my Art today!

Megan’s classes are among the best I have taken. Her delightful style is so encouraging and inspiring for students at any experience level. I put off taking her class for a while, but I am SO GLAD I took Journaling Your Art Out. Her ideas are so practical and useful for any mixed media work I will be doing in the future. She makes this style of journaling “fool proof”... I adore her style. Thank you for offering her classes… I want to take more!

I absolutely loved the Journal Into Your Art class! Creating my own book with a neutral background allowed me to experiment with various techniques. This was my first journal, and I explored different lettering styles, stencils, stamps, layouts, mediums, and color combinations. You have the flexibility to theme your book or make each page unique. I highly recommend this class, and Megan Quinlan is an excellent teacher!
Sheryl Puracchio
The Journal Into Your Art course is my all-time favorite. What I learned here has become the foundation for how I create my art journals. Meghan is a generous and easy to understand instructor. The hand painted papers and detailed attention to the creation process allow my pages to express myself. I now maintain a regular journaling practice, which feels like free therapy! The lessons are thorough, letting you pick and choose ideas to create a personalized work of art. The numerous bonus videos are a fantastic resource for inspiration whenever I need it. Highly recommend!

I have thoroughly enjoyed Megan’s JIYA class over these many months! Not only does this class provide the ‘how to’ for making your journal, but also has such fun ways to use it when you are done! This was one of my first art/junk/writing journal classes and it still teaches me new ideas, whether I am stuck or just looking for a new way to express my thoughts. Megan’s style of teaching is very user friendly for a beginner or a more experienced writer/artist/creative. Thank you Megan!!

I’ve followed Megan for ages, so when she brought this class out I jumped at it. And I was not disappointed, I loved it! Megan shares so many great techniques in both the making of the journal and in composing pages within it. Her style is very unique but can easily be adapted to your own. I have now made 3 of these and they are my go to journals for keeping quotes, statements and anything positive I need to remind myself. I particularly like using her paper doll stencils and stamps to add people to my pages.

The Magic of Megan Quinlan
Megan is excited to share these journals with you, and how to add them to your daily art practice.
In the first half of the course you will build your journal. Once your book is constructed, it is yours to use however it moves you. You may just want a hand-made journal for writing and that is awesome! Or you may want to learn Megan's tips and tricks for high impact art journal pages with lots of writing and easy handlettering.
How it all began . . .
However hard she tried, Megan always struggled to keep up a written journal practice. It was only until she discovered that she needed to add more of “Megan” to her pages, that she made her regular writing practice stick.
Too much empty space intimidates many of us and prevents us from getting started. Once Megan added some mixed media techniques, she began to show up consistently.
Megan also discovered that she had some tried and true easy formulas that she enjoyed using in her journals over and over, and she shares those with you in the second half of JIYA.
Bonuses, of course!
Megan has included loads of bonus videos to the JIYA course to help generate more fun as you work on your journal.
Things like how to make all of the whimsical collage fodder that Megan is so well known for to ideas for scraps, and “going big” with some of the class concepts.
