Change format to find inspiration...
I have been working on a couple of big canvases lately (I hope to finish them soon to show you)... but this morning I did not have any inspiration at all. I picked up my art journal and found my flow!!
It is amazing how changeing format or medium can kick of the inspiration. The girl is inspired by a doll that I found on the net a long time ago and she spoke to me, so I had to paint her:-) I started with gluing a paper bag into my journal. I love the texture that gives me. I then used graphite, color pencils, water soluble pencils, acrylics and inks. I love the result!

Thank you for commenting:-)
I am using different "books" for art journaling. The one that you see here in my post "Change format to find inspiration… " is a Moleskin Sketch Book. It has thick paper that stands paint well. I am also using old books that I alter and I am also making my own journals out of mostly recycled paper and cardboard. I art journal on many different kinds of paper and if the paper is thin I prepare it with gesso or collage it with other papers to make it stronger. I love using old paper bags as the background.
Let me know if you have further questions and I will happily give you whatever tips and knowledge I have!
Have a creative day!!
