Art Journaling Backgrounds: Messy Is Good
Dearest Wonderful, Creative You:
Lately I have been learning about the value of letting go. Fine art has a way of teaching you lessons if you are willing to listen. Watching very young children make art is instructive. They have no business concern with whether or not they are "adept" at art, whether they make a mess, and what the "product" looks like.
Recently I've been attempting to emulate this approach with my art journaling backgrounds. This thought of creating in a more unrestrained, kid-like fashion took seed in me when I wrote about being a more courageous artist, and has connected to develop. The results have been very exciting. I'd like to share some of my process with you.
How to Paint Like a Child
one. Put on a smock, take hold of a glass of juice and a cookie, and become messy.
two. Motility your brush in a haphazard way, curve the bristles too much, jab at the newspaper, make strokes too heavy and too light.
3. Work quickly.
4. Paint on multiple pages, circling back and forth between different projects.
five. Only work as long every bit you experience like information technology, exit your supplies out, and come back for a few minutes whenever the mood strikes.
half dozen. Squeal with excitement at the unexpected things that announced on your pages. Love your art with enthusiasm, particularly if it's a mess.

Hither's some of what I came up with today, using this method:
This ane is some light watercolor over the gessoed page.
If yous are detail oriented, you'll observe that I have turned this one upside downward. I liked it better that way, so I went with information technology!
