Art Journal
I haven't posted my art journal in awhile mostly because the pages haven't really consisted of art, it was more just journaling. This week, since it's a new month, I decided to actually make some art in the art journal. I've been seeing lots of abstract painting lately that other artists have been playing with and I wanted to give it a shot. My art journal is a good place to experiment since I'm not wasting a canvas if I don't like it. It's also small enough to not feel intimidating. I really like the right side of the spread the best and might try again on a real canvas to see what comes about. This was really intuitive. I didn't go in with a set plan of what I was going to put on the pages.

Beautiful pages,Stephanie. I love the bold bright colors and the sweeping movement of the primary lines.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was fun playing with the bold colors and just going with it. There's something so freeing about not overthinking things!
DeleteLOVE THIS LOVE THIS! I love the colors and the forms and the outline. I love it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chel! I'm going to try to make more 'art' in my art journal.
DeleteThese are both so pretty and colorful. It is fun to play in our art jouranls!! I love all the circles and that you wrote in the flower petals, I should try that. Nice to see your art journal again!
ReplyDeleteWhat I do when feeling inspired to play around is using a manilla folders. They sell a 10 pack of them at the $1 store. I cut them in half and use front and back so that is a lot of playing for a dollar. What I usually do is spread 4 of them out on the table and use different tools to get the paint on them. There isn't a plan, it's just about having fun.
Thanks for sharing and inspiing me!
Dawn: That's a good idea to use manilla envelopes. Thanks for the compliment and I'm happy that my work inspires you!
