Artzlife Newsletter

Creative art journal inspiration for hobby artists

Welcome to a Place for Passionate Hobby Artists

Are you a hobby artist seeking inspiration, connection and gentle guidance on your creative journey? Hi, I’m Alison a hobby artist in Vancouver, Canada. My Artzlife newsletter is your personal invitation to explore the wonderful world of art, nature, travel and sketch journaling.

What Makes Artzlife Unique?

Artzlife is my heartfelt exploration of creativity from someone who is right there with you, navigating the exciting and sometimes challenging path of artistic discovery. I came to art pretty late in life, and you can read my story here, but now I’m trying to make the most of it and I want to encourage you wherever you are to be creative every day as well. 

 

Personal Artistic Adventures

I’ll let you know about my art techniques, media, experiments and discoveries I’m experiencing. This can also include just going into my local art shop and browsing through all the fascinating equipment of the art world.

 

Inspirational Artwork

Regular features that showcase diverse artistic styles and approaches. There are a few art pieces by the masters that truly draw me in and I’ll be happy to let you know how difficult it is to interpret artworks and understand what they artist meant in the first place. But rest assured this will not be an art history class because I’m not the person for that, but I do want to let you know If I come across something that inspires me as I go about my day. 

 

Practical Insights

Mastering art techniques in general is something that I’m working on. These are mainly through different mediums such as coloured inks, watercolors and coloured pencils. I have a love of journaling for artists like sketch journaling and perpetual art journaling which I hope to share with you soon. At this stage every piece I create I think it’s a masterpiece, ha-ha, no but really, each artpiece is one step forward on my artistic journey.

 

Share the Struggle

As a new hobby artist myself, I’m still trying to find my feet in the creative world. There are many things that I don’t know and I hope to share my explorations of them with you. Included in this will be the struggles I may have with some of the media or techniques along the way.
