Art Journaling

I love Art Journaling. I found that it really helps me in creating out of my soul. I have 3 art journals each one is for different purposes. The first I bought was a Strathmore Mixed Media book. I love it... and it is where I create whatever comes out of my hands. It is the feel good one. Then I have one that I bought for the Wanderlust course which is a big Dylusion book. The new one I have is for watercolours and also some mixed media, again a Strathmore Watercolour. Those Strathmore books are fantastic... love them. I also have a sketch book a small one made of cartridge paper. This one is for marks, sketches, experimenting with drawings etc.

Founding myself

Like I said on the previous post:

Then I found Paivi Eerola from Peony and Parakeet and I found myself....

Peony and Parakeet  is a wonderful site. Paivi Eerola, a finnish lady, is a wonderful teacher. Her teaching is very thorough and she shows you step by step how she achieves her beautiful paintings. Paivi has videos, step by step photos of her work and insights on her way of seeing art and how to start creating. I have already done 2 courses with her: Liberated Artist and Imagine MOnthly and I am eagerly awaiting for the Fall courses.

So, I have some paintings I did in the courses to show here. This was the first one I did in the Liberated Artist course.

The second one is called Reaching the Light.

Another one is called Bursting.

So from then on I couldn't stop. I found myself in my art.

What is going on

For a year and a half things haven't been so good for us. So, I decided that I would do what I like most and that is Creating and playing with my art.
I always loved art journaling but didn't know a thing of it. 
Then I started looking around the internet for courses to do and before I enrolled in any one I went to Youtube and looked for some videos on techniques used in art journaling. So, I bought a journal book and did a couple of pages. They are no so great but they are my first ones.
The very first one is Simple Pleasures:

This page was done using many things I learned from the videos.
Then I did the second one and I called it Good things:

After that I Watched Donna Downey's Inspiration Wednesday and I was hooked. But still there was something missing, so I enrolled in Wanderlust2016. Wanderlust is a one year course with videos every week showing different techniques by art journaling artists. it is a very good course the community is very friendly and Kasia and Jamie are very devoted to the course.

But there was still something missing there for me..... Then I found Paivi Eerola from Peony and Parakeet and I found myself....
