I'm starting an art journal for the new year

I am going to do daily entries in my moleskine... writing or sketches. It's a lot of fun and it's for a purpose. It's my therapy and honing of skills. I'll probably make videos of my work periodically or just share the end results. I'm really looking forward to this and I hope to complete a book a month!

I'd love to watch this without the music.

@julbie Thanks. You could always mute it, I realize we all have different music tastes but I think these videos can be boring if they were silent. Maybe next time I'll narrate or read something like a favorite passage or poem. Namaste.

i want to start art journal to but how do you start it. thats what i want to know.

[ashdesu]

You just need a sketchbook to start working in. Many people go about it different ways like starting with a theme or topic or make it like a real journal or diary and just illustrate your thoughts. There is no write or wrong way, fortunately! Just go and have fun! Bright blessings and Namaste.

[ashdesu]

For this one I used the inexpensive acrylic craft paints that they sell everywhere. They range from $0.50 -$1.50 each. I also used Prisma Color Pencils.

I've been out of the new music loop for a while now. I like music from many genres but I haven't really found new stuff that I'm into lately.. except maybe Rodrigo y Gabriela. If you haven't yet, you should definitely youtube them. I have a couple on my favorites.
