Creative Art Journal

If you follow me on Instagram, then you’d probably already know that I have been very busy with my art journal recently.

I found some old notebooks recently, as i was looking for some sketchbooks to do some drawings in but couldn’t. Then the idea came to me. I could just cover the pages somehow and use the notebooks to draw on and there it all started. One page followed another and now i am looking for more old notebooks to up-cycle because i just can’t stop.

artjournal4 — Put paint on the spreads you want to cover. I raided the kids art cupboard and found some bright acrylic paints.

artjournal5 — Spread it all over the pages. I find that using my fingers is the easiest and most fun way to get an even finish.

artjournal6 — Now, you can start creating and have fun on your page.

Here are a few pages that i did this week. I had such a great time making them, just playing around with doodles, images, paints and various different mediums. No pressure, just “childish” fun.
