Weekly Art Journal Ideas - Composition Notebook Art Journal

 Composition Notebook Art Journal 

As part of the 52 Weeks of Art Journal Check out my Composition Notebook Art Journal video above.  

There is no excuse not to create, you don't need to wait for that really nice art journal, or do you need to save that art journal for 'best'.  You can get composition notebooks for under $5 and while the pages are thin, once you add paint or collage material you are good to go!

Loose Leaf Art Journal Page

What are you doing with all your background pages that you have sitting in a pile stacked somewhere? I get them out every now and again and see if I am inspired to create something on one that happens to catch my eye.

I had left this loose art journal page in one of my piles to complete for quite a while before coming back to it and I found it at a time where I just wanted to keep things simple and use some paint and just play with the time that I had.

I really enjoy creating and seeing the figure come to life and have a story to tell, and it is also great practice to keep your hand in creatively, always have something that you can do on a daily basis, you don't have to finish a piece all at once.

I hope that you decide to experiment and play!

Supplies used to create this piece:
