While I did work in a Watercolour Calendar journal (spiral bound and cheap paper) in 2014, and I created my own watercolour journal from the pages I used for my She Blooms in Ink class with Tam in 2018, I've never purchased and worked in a proper, quality page weight, bound watercolour journal.
I am equal parts excited and nervous to work in this! So many choices of what I could do on my first page, and a very white blank page it was to start with....I decided that I would try a lesson from the Free Life Book 2021 Taster event since it's only available for a couple of weeks. Inspired by a watercolour mixed media portrait lesson by Toni Burt. If you click on her name you'll find some free tutorials to try with her.
Brave beginning - my non-dominant (left) hand with non-permanent pencil.
Watercolours, black permanent polychromos pencil and a little collage with Daler Rowney ink in the background and my first page in my new art journal is done.
Happy Sunday.
I still find it hard to work in "proper" journals - got a few expensive ones and they're all empty! You're so brave! Lovely page - that purple is one of my favourits!
ReplyDeleteThank you for seeing the brave! I'm a bit nervous about this journal with its 'proper' paper but it's all about process and play in the end ♥
