Art Journaling Craftalong - 2022

You have reason to be pleased with that, the lines were very good! I It makes me happy to have been a inspiration! Looking forward to see more :slight_smile:
I m experimenting a little tonight, with thick and thin lines, and varying the size of the rounding arches… extending and trying to make all my curves soo smooth. … gotta get myself a finer tipped marker to do the finishing smoothing.

Tonight’s spread in the back of my daily creative practice journal. I did a similar spread a few weeks ago. Doodling with watercolors is super relaxing

I did another page based on the February prompts (minus chevrons)

Actually the page was mostly done and I just finished it up.

Yesss!! I have followed along with this video before and really love the results!

I’m very behind on commenting on people’s art in this thread (life has been a bit over-stuffed), but I love looking at it all so much.

@geekgirl the depth of colour in that February page is fantastic, it makes the black and white details come alive

@megwell I love the layered purple and the pink marks peeking through - that page has a cool 80s vibe to me

@photojenn your watercolours just get better and better, the patterns are wonderful

@Cyn-energy that sharpie doodling technique looks awesome - I hope you’ll share what you do with it

I was working on my February prompts last night but it was late and I had to go to bed.
I will finish up the page this week and post some March ideas…

Also need to finish my master boards and inchies!

I’m traveling this weekend so won’t be able to join. That technique and your version @jemimah - so lush and wonderful. I just invested in a small palette of good watercolors - I think one that @photojenn recommended? Winsor & Newton - and will definitely give this a try as soon as I can!

I got that set as well and can vouch for the awesomeness!

I am excited to play with them again. Especially since the first time I didn’t realize I was supposed to pull out a small amount to mix my own palette. D’oh! Thanks for the tip in the zoom class @jemimah! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
