How I created my page:

I am finalizing plans for the art journal workshop next Friday. Where better than my journal to write my lists?

First step – Sketch

Pencil – I used my stubby pencil to draw my stuff

Pen – I used a pitt pen to redraw over the pencil lines. Notice that I “restated” my lines. Ever heard that before??? It simply means to go over them more than one time. A lot of people will do that in pencil but they are afraid to do that in pen because it will look.. “messy”. Well honey.. go for it. Make it messy! restated-lines

Second step – Color. I used watercolor and my waterbrush to add washes to the page and sketched elements.

Third step – Lists. I wrote out my lists on the page and am not worried at all about whether or not the lists cover the sketches. that’s ok.. this is my daily journal. It’s a place I can spill my thoughts and work things out in my head.
