Embrace the imperfections of your Art Journal
You have ten minutes to play in your journal…. You keep on thinking about drawing or painting something…. But it NEEDS to be perfect…. I got you! Often times many glorify perfection while the concept of imperfection has found a haven in the realm of art journaling. The pages of your art journal need not be flawless; in fact, they often come alive when they reflect the raw, unfiltered essence of your thoughts and emotions. So let’s celebrate the imperfect, a statement to the idea that things don’t have to be perfect in your art journal.

Using my son’s designs to create memories
If you have kids you definitely know how much they draw and paint all kind of things, so there are loose paper sheets everywhere and dozens of notebooks all over the place. They simply love to draw!

Being so close to the Christmas time makes me feel nostalgic, although the month of December was marked by the leaving of my father to other dimension.

#100dayproject – days 37-45
I only have another 30 faces to draw, sketch or paint, but I’m way behind with posting them here on the blog. So I’m going to post multiple days in one blog post. Just like I did on this post, where you can check faces # 34-35-36 🙂 Some oof the faces will get painted with acrylics, while others are better without any paint. 🎨 Just pencil With a message Some faces are sad while others have that dreamy look. Most of them will probably “wear” other expressions when I’ll add acrylic paints. What’s new in your art journal?!
