Mixed Media & Art Journaling with Love
First Mixed Media blog in Romania
Today is International Soul Art Day and all artists, healers, creators of any kind, and visionaries are called to create art today more than any other day. It’s perfect occasion to let go fear of creating art and try something new if you like. Just like I did: I’m not familiar with collage art. Not long ago, I’ve seen some kind of collage art on Pinterest and decided to give it a try: it’s not my style at all and I’m wondering what journal would …

Most of them offer online classes, although I haven’t take many of them. I rather preferred to create my own version of their journal pages & canvas and evolve from there.
Although at first I thought it’s going to be a pain in the @ss drawing and painting on brown packaging paper, now I kinda started to love it. I wrote about this journal and how I made it here. Now I had to try more wet media to see how it reacts to it. I was surprised to see that the paper not only that it’s still in one piece after applying the inks, acrylics and watercolor pencils, but these barely show on the other …
