I bet you know that feeling...
You feel your creativity buzzing inside you, so you sit down at your desk. All around you are beautiful supplies that you’ve spent lots of money on. You know you’ve got that creative spark within you, but as soon as you are about to make the first mark you feel... intimidated.
What to paint? Where to begin?
No ideas are coming and you sit for what feels like hours with indecisiveness and worry. You get so frustrated you often end up creating nothing.
______________________________
But then one day you manage to paint something. Maybe you follow a tutorial on YouTube? You do a little layered card, a simple art journal page, a stamped tag, maybe a little mixed-media canvas...
But during the process you already know that it all feels too concise and limited. Your work lacks inspiration, there’s no expression, it feels flat and boring.
You don’t think you have the confidence of going beyond that.
You don’t believe that you have any skills to become a real artist. You don’t really know how to express yourself in your art.
Are you nodding right now? Is this your story?
If yes, then look out for the glitter falling from the sky because magic just happened! You’re in the right place at exactly the right time.
You’ve just discovered our best-selling year-long online course in mixed-media art journaling - this is Wanderlust 2023!

And then, just like our Wanderlust Adventurer Teresa Wessels, you’ll be able to say:
“My journal pages are a true reflection of my emotions and I can really pour my passion out into my weekly pages!”.
Wanderlust will become
the highlight of your week!
What do you do when you get your spare time?
Do you ever get stuck on Netflix or scrolling through feeds, Pinterest boards and stores online?
Do you feel a little guilty about wasting your time and spending money on products and courses you never ever touch?
We don’t want you to ever feel like that again!
Join Wanderlust and you’ll have a joyful and exciting new art practice habit.
You’ll have our brilliant weekly lessons, new projects and a supportive community to look forward to. You’ll be itching to go back to your desk and dive in deeper. And get a drink and snacks too, because you won’t want to leave!
2023 is the year you’ll discover your true artistic voice!
Have you ever followed a step-by-step tutorial and ended up with a result that was almost dot to dot your instructor’s project? It looks ok, but it leaves you with an unpleasant aftertaste, right?
Instead of feeling great that you’ve created something, you start feeling bad because this is not you. There are no feelings expressed, no story told, no experience shared.
Step into the Wanderlust classroom and you’ll see a different way of following lessons. We will introduce you to our signature teaching style that encourages expressing your own personality on EACH of the pieces that you make. Our lessons are not about the teachers and products, they are about you and practical ways in which you can make every project a feast of self-expression.
- This is how you’ll be able to start calling yourself an artist.
- This is how you’ll begin the process of finding your true artistic voice.
- This is what will lead you to discover your own unique style.
Our weekly (55 in total) Wanderlust classes will take you on that journey!
Wait! Did you read that properly?!
YES! 55 big video lessons in total.
We don’t know how 2023 is going to unfold but right now, you can make the decision to bring your creativity and artistic voice to the table in 2023. By enrolling you can take real action and ensure that your self-care for 2023 is all sorted.
Please be aware that we'll have several lessons on Wanderlust 2023 which explore self-discovery questions. We will be working with expressing our feelings and emotions so if you're not comfortable doing it this course may not be for you.

The big thing on Wanderlust is the variety. We pay a lot of attention to building a team of teachers whose approaches and styles are diverse. You won’t be learning just one thing for the whole year.
You’ll get to try out all sorts of styles and techniques and decide what your thing is.
So you could spend $70 on average for a course from one teacher where you would be introduced to just one approach, one set of techniques and one style.
Or
You could join Wanderlust where we give you a good variety of all flavours. Just like a brilliant crudité platter or a fancy buffet! You’ll get to try all these things that always seemed too pricey. And not just a tiny taste of each. No, on Wanderlust you can truly load your plate - and no one is going to give you weird looks! ;) On Wanderlust it's new techniques, different Teachers every week

F.A.Q.
When does this course start and finish?
The course starts on the 6th of January 2023, but if you sign up now there is already content available in the classroom. Simply scroll up to the Curriculum to see what's in there already.
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own. You can also download all of the videos, so you can watch them even when you are offline.
What is your refund policy?
We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 30 days and we will give you a full refund.
What sort of art will I be learning on this course?
Wanderlust is about mixed-media art journaling. All lessons will be done in an art journal, but can be easily translated into a canvas, a paper pad or a board. There are no dimensional projects on Wanderlust, but we tackle lots of different styles, techniques and subjects.
Do I have to buy lots of supplies to do the course?
You will need to have some basics. Please find out more here.
Can I find out what each lesson during the year is going to be about?
Yes! Check out our printable schedule.
Are there any extra costs during the year?
Nope! This is a one-off payment and there are no extra costs that this course requires. You pay once and you get full access to all lessons released weekly.
Do you have a payment plan, can I pay in instalments?
Yes! We offer a payment plan where you can pay for the course in 3 instalments.
Can I use my smartphone to watch the lessons?
Yes! Our website and classrooms work very well on tablets and smartphones.
Are the lessons all new content from the teachers (never been offered on any other platform)?
Yes! It’s all new and exclusive to Wanderlust. All of the lessons on Wanderlust are brand new, available only through Wanderlust and have been made for us. You won’t find them anywhere else.
I've done Wanderlust last year. Is this a repeat?
No, Wanderlust never repeats. This year we are diving deeper into supplies exploring Star Supplies and Hero Techniques. Every year there are new teachers, new subjects, new lessons, new techniques.
Why is there tax added on top of the price?
As tax rates vary all over the world, adding tax on top of the price is the only way we can now continue to offer our classes on sale globally.
This has been further complicated by Brexit, and international clamp downs on online tax collection.
Sales tax is worked out and added to the cart if applicable on a country by country basis.
Is Wanderlust suitable for everyone? I'm struggling with mental health, will the course help me deal with those issues?
Please be aware that we'll have several lessons on Wanderlust 2023 which explore self-discovery questions. We will be working with expressing our feelings and emotions so if you're not comfortable doing it this course may not be for you. If you're struggling with mental health please seek professional help and if you decide to join the course use it as a tool for finding new passion and to support your healing process.
Joining Wanderlust = helping the environment.
In Wanderlust 2022 we started partnering with (more:trees), so we can plant a tree for everyone who joins our course.
This is an automated process and so as soon as you enrol in Wanderlust you'll get an email confirming that we've paid for planting a tree on your behalf. Somewhere in Madagascar, Kenya or Haiti there will be a tree growing thanks to your passion for art.
