So far, in our Artful Adventure into Art Journaling Basics, we have covered:
Now, let the fun begin!
Let’s look at some ways to get started on a page. Here are three methods of creating your page.
- Create a background and then decide what you’ll put on the page as you move forward.
- Have something already selected that you want to make sure your background will work with.
- Work on part of your page and as it evolves, fill in the background.
There, now that doesn’t sound so hard, does it?
Today, we are going to look at some ways to work with the first method – starting the background first. With all the products available, look around at what you already have. Grab something and let’s go! You can use watercolors (cheap ones will do!), acrylic paint, or patterned paper.
Don’t worry if you don’t know what the page will look like. At this point, we may not have any idea, and that’s fine. Stop looking at the blank page and just get started!
We would love to see your backgrounds! Share them by linking in the comments, or come join us on the Facebook Group!
