I'm posting this to 3 art journal groups....I apologize if you're getting reruns. I use watercolors and acrylics mainly to paint backgrounds, though I'm ...
Teresa, I think gouache may be my current fav paints. I believe that it is pronounced gwash. I don't wet the paper first, I just mix enough water that they...

Hi Everyone... I'm not sure how many of you embellish your pages with stamping, or ephemera, etc...but I have a question... How do you all handle journaling...
Mostly I use whatever ephemera, etc...is handy on my craft table. Often it doesn't go with what I want to journal, but just as often it dodoes. Something I've...
Thanks Dawn, But your pages truly look put together perfectly...as though you planned them that way. I just find that when I'm away....especially as I've...
I should have mine back Monday or Tuesday. I'll definitely share photos of my pages. I can ask Diane if she minds if I post hers, too. Teresa ... "Teresa"...
Color is a very complicated subject. One of my favorite books on color is "Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green" by Michael Wilcox. In it he says, "Pure primary...
Ophelia, traveling pages are a bit difficult for me too. Partly, I think, because I don't have all my stuff with me, and partly because I don't take the time...

Hi Ophelia! Why not jot your journaling down on what ever is handy at the time, ie scrap paper, napkins etc, and then glue them onto your page after the fact!...

Welcome, Vicky! I think you just showed an EXCELLENT New Year's Resolution - priority journal! Beats that ol' losing 10 pounds one any time. I think there's a...
Thanks to all who have replied regarding my gouache questions. Eliece, I will definitely make up a color chart as you described. I did use the wrong primaries...
