The art of togetherness: top tips for successful art collaborations

Plus a mixed media art journaling process video

Studio Diaries is a free weekly newsletter exploring art and creative living. Sign up to receive notes on the creative life, a monthly sketchbook/creative prompt, as well as short process videos and pages from my art journals.

Last week, I shared some pages from my travel art journal, and spoke a bit about my first art collaboration with my younger sister. I loved hearing all the stories you shared about your special art and creative collaborations. Art — and creativity — truly is rather magical, isn’t it? So many shared memories that we get to create when we invite our loved ones and friends into our process.

My top tips for successful art collaborations with family and friends

This week, I’m sharing a short, 12-minute process video to show you how I developed one of the pages that my sister had painted on. I’ve also shared some ideas and suggestions on how you can invite your loved ones to the art journal page. Enjoy!

I’d love to know what you think of these suggestions, and if you have any more art collaboration tips and ideas to share, do drop them in the comments or hit reply to this email and share them with me!
