Art journaling looks peaceful on the surface — but it can get surprisingly stressful when you're putting rules on yourself that don't need to be there. In this video I'm sharing 7 lessons about art journaling that I had to learn the hard way. We're talking about finishing, supplies, composition, style, adhesive, AI imagery, and more. And most of it comes down to one thing: getting out of your own way.
🟡 Chapters
01:18 It's okay not to finish
04:58 Working on multiple projects
07:21 Originals, copies and AI images
11:32 Composition is a skill, not a talent
17:45 The adhesive mistake that ruins pages
21:08 Why more supplies aren't the answer
23:34 How your style actually develops
🟠 What's one lesson you've had to learn the hard way? Leave it in the comments, please. Someone else needs to hear it 💜.
