Art Journal


 I have finally finished some pages in my art journal.  I have been taking a class for several months now, doing a bit here, a bit there.  But, I knew I had to prepare some pages for class this week, and that motivated me to work on my art journal.  These are the first two pages I've finished.  I used the wash and misting techniques I learned in my Big Picture class to do the page on the left.  I finally created something finished that I like.  For too long (my fault), I let this sit.  I think I had artist block with this one.  But, I like the combination of color, stamping, images, mists etc. and am happy to claim these as mine (blotches and all)....finally!

  1. Maura,

    I LOVE these! I think that class is motivating you. I've always liked the idea of an art journal...and since it's totally for YOU...no pressure to make it perfect. Just play. Thanks for sharing.
