Visual Journaling ~ How to Keep an Art Journal

[sadheart24]

I love watching your videos. I notice that you use many different kinds of sketchbooks. Which is your favorite to use for all kinds of medium?

Thank you for posting this! Part of why I haven't started is that I am insecure about drawing, but what a good idea to use a magazine image and paint over it. Very nice and it makes a lot of difference to watch the process rather that just be intimidated by a finished project. Thank you for sharing! A lovely finished project!

[meow98]

love it, what a great creative idea!

[MimiZ914]

Love your spontaneous technique. A great way to incorporate old photos as well.

[Spicyapplebum]

brilliant it has inspired me to have a go my self!

[almostEmilyDickinson]

Thank you for sharing this. Inspiring.

[hewittfamily]

I was moved and motivated by your work and the little artist working along side you. I am reminded that it's past time to get mine (now 15) to join me in the studio for creative time together as we used to do so many years ago. Thank you for sharing techniques and inspiration.

[Milliande]

you are very welcome .. I am glad you are inspired//makes me happy :-) ..thanks for taking the time to comment ... milliande :-)

[sn0wgurl]

@hewittfamily I always wished my mom would ask me to join her even when I was 15.

[missxcantxsing]

this is fantastic i started an art journal a while a go and haven't touched it in months, but now i cant wait to get going again!!!!!!!!!!!

your an inspiration!!!!

[NickandJamie]

Oooh I love this! We were starting our own art journals (we built them out of paper bags, then made a spine with a stick we found in nature, sewed on, then decoupaged the cover), but didn't know what to put in them. Thanks for the idea! And I loved seeing your little one painting in the background, haha!

[graceakaraven]

ooh what is the song? goodness, it is so relaxing like a lullaby!

[Milliande]

:-) " When a star is falling" ..a song written for me by a friend ... he is a bass player who recorded this little "riff for me as I love it soo much ... ♥

[papermason]

Lovely!

[camelliaruth]

What is in the bottle with the blue label? You show it but it looks blurry to me. I watched that part a few times but couldn't make it out

[kitty3309]

white acrylic paint

[diddlestupid]

did u know i was watching this video in the end with my mouth open? and i thought it look totally bore at first. wow! u really r something!!

[ojewel]

I liked the angel drawing at the end.

[span24]

Painting in magazine cut outs is such a good idea! I'm going to try it! Thanks.

[LeahWhitehorse]

Thankyou so much for this very inspiring video! I have just started art journaling and this has given me ideas as well as some confidence to different materials.

[scrapzzzz]

u inspire me

[peachez77]

Milliande, I watch this same video everyday and I try to invision exactly how u come up with your project. Do you think about what your going to do first? Or does it just come to you as you go? I'm asking simply because I'm not good at coming up with art ideas and it frustrates me. Do you have any advice for a person like me? I love your free style of art. I would have never thought to turn a piece of magazine picture into an angel with different media. It's brilliant.

-Thanks again, Peachez77

[peachez77]

Milliande,

I just want to say how much I appreciate your art, it's so different than I've ever seen. I'm so used to seeing art like Bob Ross for instance, art that I'm far from achieving at this point. I love how you make art from absolutely anything, using all sorts of techniques. You have truly inspired me. I have been working on a Art Journal now thanks to you lol. When I'm finished with it, I'll be sure to share. Thanks once again.

-Warm Wishes, Sandra

[Milliande]

Ohh--thanks so much for taking the time to comment ...it makes this cyberworld just a little more "real" ... I am glad you got inspired to "Art from the Heart" ..in Art anything goes -- its that creative spark that arises from within you ..capture that and never let it go and never let anyone tell you its not "Art" ... There are no rules---just expression ... copy, create, embellish, simplify --- its all creation ... cant wait to see what you come up with ...

...Milliande

[vladko93]

Wow that is reali cool

[PersistantPuppy]

This is my favourite video of yours. Absolutely the best one. I love your technique. I also love the guitar playing too. Can you tell me where it came from/who plays it? Its beautiful and fits this video so well.

Claire.

[Milliande]

Thank you, the guitar music is a personal song that has been written by a friend of mine for me ... I love it's soothing repetition ...

... Milliande

[goldenpaws2007]

I found your videos through suziblu and am so glad I did! Thank you for sharing!

[asimpleoffering]

again, beautiful. thank you for the gift.

blessings!

[AlteredArtExprs]

BRAVO!!!! I love Angels also, no wonders I found you by accident! The Angels did it!

[xneeneex]

i love how you used a picture of a lady and when you've painted and colored over it... it looks like you done it all yourself.

[Annaconda1984]

(-:P you paint a lot of angels´

do you believe theres a protective angel for everyone?

[Milliande]

I know there is :-)) , I sense angelic vibrations and paint what I see .. I have been aware of angels for the past 6 years now and it has been an amazing ride .. angel-guide dot com is my website on angels :-))

..Milliande

[Annaconda1984]

have you experienced anything tragic 6 years ago or did it all of a sudden occur?

[Milliande]

Not that tragic ;-) ...I became a Mum :-)))

now I know that often this is a time where a woman enters a different phase of transformation/awareness :-)

...Milliande

[Clarachk]

[Baronessnz]

Awesome, I have watched this vid about 10 times now. Today I gave it ago, it only took me ALL day, but I finally had a go. Perhaps when I feel less shy I'll show a vid response of my attempt. Having never drawn or painted before- I'm pretty happy with the result. Thank you so much for the idea and inspiration. Looking forward to more ideas from you. Cheers.

[Milliande]

giggle , glad you enjoyed it. I am working on another video , hopefully out by the end of this week, subscribe if you like :-)

I only have been youtubing for 1 month ... and loving it, always thought I couldnt do it until I gave myself a push ...

Really looking forward to seeing your video response when you take a peek out of your shyness closet :-)))

...Milliande

[kathrynmary49]

i really like how you used a image from a magazine and made it your own. very cool.

[Ginasart]

thank you i had to watch it over i was intrigued at how you transformed a real image into your own im going to have to do that i take forever to paint faces

[Milliande]

Hi Ginasart,

its one of my favourite techniques, when I like the facial expression of a photograph I start with that and the rest sort of evolves ...glad you got inspired

...Milliande

[artmother5]

Beautiful layers!

And, I didn't have to listen to someone talk just to fill up silence...peaceful guitar music and your layers were all you needed!

Lovely.

[Milliande]

Hi artmother5,

glad you enjoyed it and that guitar music is sooo brilliant , I play it while I paint too , its called heartstrings by a friend of mine

Thanks for taking the time to comment

...Milliande

[groovyholly]

...Milliande :-)

[daligoddess2006]

You can't event tell that was a magazine clipping! I had lots of fun watching you and your child (?) create together. Those are memories to be treasured...quality time together!

[Milliande]

...Milliande :-)

[EllisweetP]
