Day…wherever I left off (4 maybe?):

Things started to feel a little repetitive and there’s a lot of collage coming up which is not really my thing. I might skip a couple days…

Trying out a new doodle. I drew it with a fine pen and then coloured in the sections. Next time I’ll draw it with a thick pen so the lines stay straighter.

Thanks, it was in a book @Magpie shared with me, no instructions so had fun figuring it out.

Last night I did an art journal page inspired by this video from megjournals where she breaks down her usual process and then does it in reverse.

Instead of starting with a base layer of paint and/or collage, I went straight for the focal image and quote. Then stenciling/mark-making (which I guess is normally second in my three steps anyway, now that I think about it :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:) and the “base” paint. I fully intended to collage, but I was really happy with it at this stage and let that go.

The weather is very meh today; I may replace with a better picture if tomorrow is nicer.
Photo updated; these colors are a little truer.

I really like this! Love it when changing up your process works out!

I’m scattered, starting lots of things and then wandering to work on other projects. But yesterday I made lots of colorful papers using acrylic inks and water.

I’m slowly working through “The Flower Journal” class by Alisa Burke. Last week I watched lesson four and finally sat down last night to do it. It wasn’t looking quite right but I was enjoying the process…

This morning I looked at her lesson again and now I see what I did “wrong” :sweat_smile: oh well, I still had fun playing with paint :art: :upside_down_face: now I need to decide if I’m going to try again on a new page or if I’ll try to fix this one :thinking:

I don’t think there is any “wrong”…and like she said, everything is “fixable”…I would leave it and just do it again…it is lovely and interesting!
