The Paint + Swatch Journal is a digital and limited-edition physical KIT.

It’s a CREATIVE archive designed to capture and organize your color experiments, paint swatches, and texture explorations in one intentional place.

More than just a sketchbook, it becomes a living reference library that informs your future artwork, palette development, and creative projects — helping you document your unique color language and build a visual foundation for everything you create.

This journal is your studio companion for mindful color play and artistic growth all year long.

A home for your color stories. A foundation for your next body of work.

Every collection, every artwork, every new idea begins in the margins — in quiet swatches, tiny experiments, and color notes most artists never stop to organize.

The Paint + Swatch Journal Experience is my answer to that.

For years I’ve kept a living archive of pigments, blends, textures, and surface tests — a working record that has guided my paint collections, surface pattern designs, Procreate collage explorations, palettes, and even the visual identity of my entire brand.

This journal isn’t just where colors go…it’s where ideas grow.

Day 2 of BFCM brings a beautiful blend of the practical and the playful: a digital journal you can cut & paste. Procreate brushes + printed swatch cards, custom design collage sheets, a limited-edition handcrafted artisanal paint grab bag and mixed paper swatch journal kit to elevate your swatching and mark-making.

Whether you're building a creative practice, a personal palette library, or a full creative portfolio — this journal & swatch cards set becomes a studio companion you’ll return to all year long.

NOTE: Some images show previous kits and are samples. The actual kit that will be delivered will include different paints, papers, collage ephemera, and printables.
