How to create and keep an art journal

An art journal can be a record of your daily thoughts, a travel journal, an exercise or diet diary, a dream journal, a place where you jot down your goals or to-do lists, or... well, almost any record that you'd like to keep in a book or notebook. They become "art journals" when you add any kind of illustration or embellishment to the pages. These pages share ideas and tips for creating and keeping your own illustrated journal.

Image transfers in your art journal - a photo-heavy tutorial

So here you go : In this tute we are going to tackle various methods for applying semi transparent imagery to your journal pages – commonly referred to as image transfers All of these techniques use TONER based images – these come from a laser printer or photo-copier. They will not work as well (or in some cases at all) with inkjet prints If you do not have direct access to a laser printer, perhaps you have a partner or friend who works in an office and could run you off some photocopies? Other materials we will be using are: This involves transferring the image straight onto your page, and it isn’t always 100% reliable – it’s quite likely there may be bits of your image that don’t transfer properly.

I started working on backgrounds, then was taken with a green page I had painted previously. It took off and I ended up going through the whole process and finishing it. I took photos along the way for you! Here is a peek into how I work in my art journal: Blank pages ready to go.

I especially love journals that incorporate a wide range of media and texture experiments because these journals are literally bursting at the seams and are so fun to look through! You can use a huge number of different materials in your journal, and you can really let your creativity run free without judgement. The most popular materials are pens (markers, felt tips, micron pens etc) and paints (acrylic, watercolor, oil etc), although I've seen everything from salt to tea bags being used! More materials you can use include: magazine pages, recycled book pages, ephemera, crayons, pencils, photos, pastels, newspaper, inks, different kinds of paper (tissue, crepe, parchment etc), leaves, and thin fabrics like muslin and cheesecloth.

And remember...every page does not need to be a masterpiece. Art Journal n°7 - le Scrap'blog de Scrapy - Pour ce mois de l'amour , voici mon art Journal, toujours avec la petite FT mensuelle sur le forum de la Boit' A Scrap.

How to add Journaling to your Art Journal (I of III on text)

I finished this page this weekend as I sat outside in the sun and thought about what music means to me; Art Journaling to me is working with art in book form. Most of the time it’s a combination of visual elements, colors and text. It can include doodling, drawing, acrylic painting, watercolors, stamping and gluing with all kind of papers! It’s especially fun when you start making collage papers of your own, cutting them up and combining them on a page.

Can you tell I get carried away with this subject? Anyway. When I started to keep an art journal I got rather frustrated with this, wanting to write but never finding the right spot to do it on. And as the months passed I did find my writing spots amongst all that color. I’m dividing my thoughts into three posts, so stay tuned this week. Here is the same spread, but before the writing was added:
