Get Creative with Techniques in Art Journals

Play Along Journal Series Week 22

 
 
 

One of the things I love most about this spread is how it encourages me to embrace creative freedom and explore different directions. It's all about finding new ways to express ourselves and breathe life into our artwork.

For those who may feel a bit hesitant about drawing directly in their journal, like me, I've found that practicing on separate paper first and then adding it to the spread can help overcome any initial apprehensions. The way I like playing with creative lettering is I like to pretend as though I am writing actual words. They don't need to mean anything, or you can use it as a great space to do a little brain dump journaling there.
