It’s been super difficult dealing with this whole COVID-19 quarantine. I’m trying to keep a consistent schedule for creating art. It isn’t easy to “push through” when things are so uncertain. What I’ve been going through over these past four years has taught me to keep a simple routine.
Working on projects like this in my sketchbooks and art journals gives a purpose to my day. They’re a positive distraction.
I hope that you like seeing my process and it encourages you to take some time to be creative today.
Remember the purpose of working in a journal is to express yourself and have fun.
VIDEO NOTES
In this video, you will see my process in my Brave Intuitive Painting art journal book written by Flora Bowley. The pages I’m working on are part of an ongoing 2020 art project. I will be writing more about it later.
I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve ever added narration to one of the videos. I’m still learning how to create video and audio content. It’s a lot of extra work, but I’m really glad to learn and grow.
It also gives me a whole new appreciation for videos and how they’re created!
FINISHED PAGE
Working with contrasting orange and blue has been a challenge for me. Working on pages like these helps me to explore color, texture, and mark making. I then use these elements in other artwork.
ART SUPPLIES
I made a list of supplies I used in this process. I do not have any sponsors or affiliates. It is just to help viewers that want to know what products I used during the video.
You can use whatever supplies you have. It doesn’t have to be the same as mine.
