Searching for ultra-relaxing Sunshine Coast activities? Look no further than Art Workshops' mindful journaling art workshop and let your inner creative take the reins as you learn to draw without constraints!
Guided by our studio artist, you will explore the art of visual journaling through mixed media and use colours, designs and materials as a form of self-expression. You'll learn the skills to be able to transfer what you're thinking and visualising onto the paper using anything from graphite to pencil, watercolours, paints, dry pastels and more!
You will be guided through basic techniques to help you create depth and perspective using lines, colours, shapes and textures. Combine all the techniques and skills you've learnt to create traditional or non-traditional drawing pieces in your visual journal too.
Not only is journaling is a great way to experiment with a variety of mediums, but it is also a fantastic way to record your thoughts and understand your emotions. You'll learn about both traditional and digital journaling and how to make this process a mindful one.
Develop your understanding of composition and the impact of colour and break the boundaries of journaling by swapping words for drawings. You could even combine to two to make a beautiful symbolic piece that reflects your dreams, affirmations, goals or daily routines!
Unleash your inner creative and take journaling to new heights at this fun Sunshine Coast workshop!

Recent reviews of Mindful Journaling Art Workshop

  • 5/5 from Susan Evans, attended Sep 2026: Thoroughly enjoyed Mindful Journaling Workshop. I attended with my daughter and it was a lovely way to spend some time together (we live far apart and see each other rarely). Janine is warm and encouraging. We were happy with our our results and enjoyed the techniques we learned. The workshop is in beautiful Montville and we arrived in plenty of time to have lunch and do a little browsing on the main street before class. I would recommend this day out, it was superb!
  • 5/5 from Nathalie Leriche, attended Dec 2025: Mindful Art Journalling Workshop with Janine Attending Janine’s mindful art journalling workshop was such a gift. The class was beautifully relaxing and deeply enjoyable, offering the perfect space to slow down and reconnect with creativity. Janine is a wonderful teacher—gentle, encouraging, and inspiring. She has a way of showing how simple art techniques can blossom into truly amazing journal pages, making the process feel accessible and joyful for everyone. I left feeling refreshed, uplifted, and full of ideas to continue exploring in my own journal. This workshop is a reminder that art doesn’t have to be complicated to be powerful—it can be playful, soulful, and transformative. I wholeheartedly recommend this workshop to anyone seeking a creative outlet, a mindful pause, or simply the joy of making art.
