Art Journal: Sketch Book Project

Last week, I did the Daisy Yellow Tiny Museum Workshop . It was a lot of fun and allowed me to try a variety of techniques while using watercolors.

I am switching to another project which will take up several months. For part of it, I’ve started a new art journal.

I am using a Bee Super Deluxe Mixed Media book.

I’ve used these books for years as my daily sketch book. I love the paper in them. The covers are really sturdy and I’ve even taken them apart by rolling out the spiral binding and then put them back together again without any issues.

On this page, I’ve created a grid of rectangles with a small space between each. I’ve used watercolors to paint in a background in each rectangle. And finally I used a dark, Payne’s grey to make dark borders. There is an extra space at the bottom of the page that will be used for additional journaling.

I’ll be adding to this page. Stay tuned!
