Art Journal Every Day: Big Floral in Fast Forward

AJEDHeader2020

If you're new to Art Journal Every Day, the concept is simple: It's a commitment to take ten minutes each day to do something in your art journal.  No need to finish anything or even like it.  It's about making the time to nourish your creativity every day!  If you have the time to flip through your phone, you have the time to Art Journal Every Day.  If you'd like to share what you make, use the hashtag #artjournaleveryday so that we can all take a peek.  You can find new Art Journal Every Day posts here on the blog most Fridays.  The archives go back to the first Art Journal Every Day post in 2010.

True confession: I missed all of April in my art journal.  I simply got out of the habit.  But earlier this week I renewed my commitment to those daily pages and yesterday I found myself painting a big floral design across two pages.  Here's the video of the process:

And here is the art journal spread:

I hope you find some time to get into your art journal this weekend.  Remember, it's never too late to start or get back to it!

Thanks for stopping by!

  • I love this page! The process of layering the colors on top of each other adds to the complexity of the finished page. I only wish there was a slow version so I could see your tools/media for adding white and black lines into the colors. Thank you for my Friday supplement of art journaling!
