I’ve joined a weekly art journal challenge thingy. Our first task: Make shapes and color them in. I can totally handle that.
I made the shapes in one of my found paper journals. It’s on a shiny catalog page. The paper didn’t really take the paint well but I like it anyway.
Here it is after I colored the shapes in. I like using my found paper journals because they are a mess already so I can’t screw them up. I only used a few paints but I mixed them up together and changed the colors. I felt like a kid playing in the mud only with brushes instead of hands.
I’m having what feels like a learning binge. I’ve signed up for some online classes and am in serious play mode…like always, I guess but this time I’ve got a purpose…sort of. Anyway, I’m having so much fun.
That is awesome! I love when I feel so full of creative mental energy! I have a hard time maintaining it though, I tend to start full swing on a challenge, or an online course, or something, but I have a hard time seeing them through to the end.
Any advice?
Thanks for asking. Are there some things that hold your interest better than others? Maybe there’s a perfectly good reason. Don’t beat yourself up and happily let go of things that don’t authentically interest you. Play!
