Thoughts of a day | art journaling

 Hello dear friends!

Today I'm sharing an art journal page I created last night.

I was playing with my watercolors creating abstract shapes and shades.

It was so fun and relaxing not thinking what to do... just painting.

When my page was dry I looked at the shapes and let my imagination fly.

I started doodling with only a black pen and here is the result!

All these beautiful designs appeared in front of me, coming of nowhere.

What an unexpected surprise really!

At the end I added a piece of thread to connect the mother with daughter.

making beautiful thoughts

Hello everyone!

Today I have a new challenge for you at Mixed Media Place!

DRAWING !

Whether you're already addicted to drawing or a complete beginner - join us this month!

Don't feel obliged or pressured to create a masterpiece, your sketches or simple exercises are most welcome, too! Simply feel the joy of holding a crayon in your hand. :)

I love drawing on my projects! I do it every time I make a layout or a canvas and that's how I got the idea to make a challenge with this theme. In this project I wanted to show you some ideas how to draw on your pages in a very easy way.

I wanted to make sure that my focus is on the drawing work, I decided to use only my permanent black pen, some Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays, the  'Blue Grass' from Primary Elements, Copper Mica Powder with the Light Paste, two stamps, some wire and chipboard letters for the tittle. So, no embellishments at all and I like it!

First I did some doodling on a photo of mine and wrote some words on my blouse. I also made a few simple lines on the paper to expand the photo. Then I started stamping with the Peeled Paint stamp on top and over my head (because that's the spot where my thoughts come of :)

To create my flowers, firstly I made some splashes with the sprays and then I drew the lines with the permanent pen abstractedly, without much thinking. The stalks of the flowers are drawn with the plastic hose of the sprays - that's pretty easy and fun thing to do! Finally I made some doodling with the same pen, not complex things, just some sloppy circles.

I hope I have encouraged you to do some drawing :)
I can't wait to see your projects for the drawing challenge!
