Watercolor for Relaxation FAQs
-
A lot.
I always over deliver!
-
This is not a bookbinding course, however I do offer many bookbinding courses at willawanders.com. The specific watercolor sketchbooks that I watercolor paint in are my own handmade books that I teach in my course called Willa Journals. If you want to bind your own book to paint in, you can do that using any handmade book structure! In this course, provide all the information that you need on using the paper that I use to bind into my covers, so that you can bind them into your own journal of your choosing. Of course, you can take my Willa Journals course too, https://willa-wanders.teachable.com/p/willa-journals.

The journal that I paint is was created by me. I used a "Willa Journal" as the cover and a handmade watercolor paper for all of the pages.
The "Willa Journals" course is one of my courses on Willa Workshops. When you make and bind your own journals, you get to choose the papers that you put in your journal.
In the case of the book that is in this video, the pages were created from a handmade 100% cotton watercolor paper with deckled edges that I purchased off of Amazon. I don't recommend painting directly on this paper that I used in this journal-it turned out to not be great paper for watercoloring.
In this course, I'm going to go over the different option for your own journal, the workaround that fixed this journal for me, and even what I want to experiment with in the future.
-
Yes, I will provide information about journals that you can purchase that have the same deckle edge effect and then I will teach you what to do with them to create the look that I get.

There's an endless amount of incredible art tutorial content in every Willa Workshops course. For some creatives, it's tempting to want to use these videos as a well of inspiration for their own creative enterprise, YouTube channel, brand, etc.
Willa Workshops Courses are not sold with permission for anyone to use it in this way--specifically, as a source of inspiration for any one's free how-to social media tutorial content, whether that be on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok or any other social media platform.
If you are a creative who loves to share your work with the world, that's wonderful! I love it when participants share their finished projects in photos and videos on social media. Please tag me @willa.wanders, I'd love to support you!
But making how-to videos of yourself while creating from the lesson content or obviously inspired and derivative of Willa Workshops course content, and then posting those tutorials on any free social media platform, will get you banned from Willa Workshops with no refund issued.
