About Our Journals

Bella Classica Art Journals was born from a love of watercolor painting adventures and vintage books. Each journal is hand-sewn using professional quality watercolor paper to transform old books into new canvases for those who love to paint and draw as much as we do. 

The pages in each journal are deckled by hand and are made of 100% premium 140 LB 300 GSM watercolor paper that is perfect for sketching and painting with a range of mediums. 

The books used in the journal-making process are selected from used bookstores and private book collections. The covers are made from a range of materials including leather, paper and linen and each is chosen for its unique qualities including interesting colors, wear patterns and cover art. 

Each journal is crafted to lie flat to make creating fun and easy to do. Small details such as hand-crafted pockets with room for color swatching and ribbons to keep track of your current works are added to make each journal a unique piece of art.  

We hope you will love creating in our journals and we hope you will share what you are making with us on Instgram @bellaclassicaartjournals.

Happy creating!

The Team at Bella Classica
