Your Perfect At What You Do! This Artwork is Amazing!

[JWJNC]

What kind of paper or book do you use to do your art journaling on? I know if you use watercolors the paper needs to have some stability to it. Your Journal is just breathtaking though. You are a very talented artist.

[nekonikkz]

You're improving :)

[88momart]

Most beautiful art journal I've ever seen. Each page is different. I wish I had the talent you do.

[willowing]

@88momart thank you so much! :)

[DreamingOfAHappyEnd]

Suzi's video's inspired me to start my own journal - I hadn't come across art journals before - and I'm enjoying watching everyone's videos, yours included, and have started making my own. I'm grateful to you all for helping me (without even realising it) bring art back into my life.

i was wondering, what type of journal do i have to buy to do this,because i know that not all paper is best for these things! hehe, and i was wondering where did you find inspiration for the picture at 3:01 with the roses? ITS BEAUTIFUL :)

[willowing]

thank you so much for your kind comment! :) i use moleskines for my art journals. there are 2 kinds i use; 1 is the notepad one (green label), it has thinner pages, but i like working on those and then there is the sketchbook one (purple label), which has thicker pages, but they're yellow ish which I don't like! :) will have a look at the page you're referring to now. x

[willowing]

:) the roses page came out of my head! ha! :) no particular inspiration for that!! ooxox
