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.

This page also features one of my favorite mixed media art supplies: oil pastels.
I call oil pastels a favorite mixed media art supply because they are perfect for mixing with acrylics. Yes, acrylic + oil. They don't get damaged by the wet paint and you can add paint over or under oil pastels. I love them!
Thanks for stopping by!
