Hi All!
I hope everyone is staying dry and safe with all this winter weather. I thought it would be a great time to start an art journal for all my "practice". If you're a beginner like me you may not know where to start. I'm taking baby steps myself so I've started with a very simple journal. All you will need to start is either watercolor paper (I've used 300 gsm) or mix media paper (I've used 90 lb./160 gsm). You just want paper that can take a lot of "wet" mediums. Let's get started!
I was inspired to do this project by a Laly Mille video: youtu.be/F9sRtkLHXiU
I've taken Laly's inspiration and given it my own twist so I hope you'll enjoy this video.
