"Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing flawlessly."
Robert Schuller
Grab your books and let's get inspired.......
Supplies you will need before you begin:
journal or altered book
paint, can be any that you like working with, watercolor, watercolor pencils, pens, or inexpensive craft paint
gesso, this is a white, flat paint that dries with a rough finish, makes a great ground for pages. Pastel or white craft paint works as well.
scissors
brushes
pens or pencils
matte medium or glue stick for adhering papers
variety of thin collage papers: these can be from magazines, junk mail, old book pages, painted papers, etc.
Here are a few recent journal pages as examples.
This is a minimalist page with paint and very little collage, without text
These pages are just some doodles with a fine line micron pen. It's a great to get you warmed up and get your right brain in gear.
A page with collage and paint
Art journaling can help us to express our emotions, or be about something that is troubling us.
This page is strictly collage and I added the word art and the stripes with a marker.
