Welcome to September and the Free Digital Art Papers
Welcome to September, and we have available in our Arts Resource Hub a set of creative papers that you can use for your craft projects and art journals.
If you are wondering what you can create with them, they can be art background pages, I create a mini art journal with mine.
In the video I share what I did with August papers.
All papers are available, so you can mix and match. Come and join us on the Arts Resource Hub and get hold of your papers for September.
You will find all the papers from previous months available for use as well.

Taking Inspiration from Nature - Creative Garden
Do you ever feel that you are creatively blocked? Then you should look no further than your own garden, green space or local park!
We can find a wealth of inspiration when we take a walk in our gardens or green space, and there are so many ways in which we can look to nature and produce beautiful creative projects.
Here are 5 tips for using the natural world to unlock your creativity:
1. Allow it to guide your art - Look at the kind of things that you might find to add that inspiration to an art project. It could be the twist of a branch that inspires a brushstroke, or the texture of bark or rocks recreated with modeling paste or gesso. Step outside your comfort zone and see where the natural world takes you.
2. Choose Your colors from natures palette. Nature offers a vast and vibrant range of colors. Observe the color combinations of a flowers petals, the contrast of a cloudy sky, or the variation of greens and browns that you find in a garden.
Choose colors that evoke the emotions and feelings you want to convey in your art, and let them be your guide. This plant is called the paddle plant and I love the color combination. I would never have thought to use it in my art.
