ArtJournalEveryDayLogo-150If you're new to Art Journal Every Day, there is a short introduction here.  All of the previous posts can be found archived here.  Remember, it's just ten minutes of nourishing your creative self every day!  No need to finish anything or even like it. If you've done some art journaling this week, use the hashtag #artjournaleveryday so that we can all take a peek.  Even if you're not on social media, you can see everything (from twitter, pinterest, instagram, and facebook) that uses that hashtag here

How are you doing with your art journaling?  This has been an uneven month for me.  I've definitely done something creative every single day, but I've missed actually art journaling for a number of days.  But I've made up for it by doing some longer sessions and that has felt really good!

And speaking of longer sessions, I've made a little video for you today.  This is about an hours worth of playing in my journal condensed to just three-and-a-half minutes.  Enjoy!

Supplies Used:

  • Masking Tape
  • Gesso
  • Vintage Book Pages & Letter
  • Matte Medium
  • Acrylic Paint
  • Water Soluble Spray Ink
  • China Marker
  • Watercolor Crayons
  • Hand Carved Stamps
  • Archival Ink
  • Watercolor Paints

Hope you're feeling inspired to go and create something wonderful!  Thanks for stopping by!

  • Hey Julie, I am an artist who blogs also. Just wondering, how do you make your art demonstration videos? That’s something I would like to learn how to do, maybe even get a you tube channel to demonstrate portrait drawing and landscape painting. I really enjoyed your video and learning about your art process when making a journal page.
