The Postcard Journal WORKSHOP mentioned is here:
Have you ever wanted to fill an art journal or sketchbook as you travel? Are you curious what goes into an artist’s travel sketchbook? Wherever you are dreaming of traveling, you’re going to take away ideas for how to keep a travel journal and document your experience.
My travel sketchbooks aren’t so much about art technique as they are about documenting my experience, my form of art therapy. So whether you think of yourself as an artist or not, but want to start a travel journal, my intention with this video is to show you lots of different things you might document in your traveler’s notebook.
Especially if you’re a bit intimidated by the precise methods of urban sketching, and wondering how else you might be able to keep your own travel sketchbook.
If you’re like me, you love being able to peek inside the sketchbooks of artists and travelers, so in this video I’ll show a variety of the many types of travel journals I keep — including one of my favorite ways of travel journaling WITHOUT any art supplies — it doesn’t even happen in a sketchbook!
I’ll share my thought process and the creative challenges I gave myself to be able to fill my sketchbooks quickly, without overthinking, so that I can capture the most meaningful moments of my trip. You may wish to try this yourself if you find it hard to fill your sketchbooks — traveling or not.

[ ABOUT ] Lisa Sonora & Visual Journal Studio
Hi! I’m Lisa Sonora, a visual artist, author, and former art therapist.
I teach visual journaling as a way to get past the inner critic so you can make your art with confidence. Today I’m sharing one of the easiest ways you can start playing with and testing out the art supplies you already have —by creating a color swatch sketchbook.
Creating art can transform your life, but self-doubt and judgment make it hard to get started — and that’s why I teach Visual Journaling — a powerful creative practice that can disarm your inner critic and free you to make meaningful art with confidence.
If you’re curious how visual journaling can help you make more meaningful art AND support your emotional well being, then I’d love to send you my illustrated visual journal guidebook. Pop over to: and download yours now. It’s FREE!
As an artist and author, I keep lots of different visual journals. You can adapt this idea for your scrapbook, sketchbook or art journal. Enjoy!.
Thanks for watching! I’d so appreciate your thumbs up if you liked it — and invite you to subscribe to my channel for more mixed media visual journaling and sketchbook tips and tutorials.
