journal 52-March

This year I am enjoying

participating in Journal 52,

a friendly (and free!) art journaling group

with inspiring weekly prompts.

I've been keeping it simple and stress-free

by grabbing my favorite basic supplies

and not over thinking what I make.

These are my March pages.

Week 9: Color Swatch Inspiration

Just watercolors and one of my favorite gelly roll pens.

Week 10: Create for a Cause

I have a dream of making art for the blind

that is as interesting to view tactilely as visually.

This one used more supplies since I was trying to add some texture:

papers, acrylic paints, watercolors, gesso, and pen.

 Week 11: Stars

One of my first experiments with gouache.

Week 11: Stars (I loved this prompt)

Watercolors, gelly roll black and metallic pens,

and a paper city skyline I glued on top. 

Week 12: A Day in the Life of Me

Watercolors and gelly roll pen--again.

Week 13: How Does Your Garden Grow?

You guessed it! Watercolors and gelly roll pen.
