And here’s another one of my weeklong pages. This one was inspired by Christy Tomlinson’s She Art Workshop. The first thing I did in this page was to cover it with a map and then put some really washed out white paint on it.
then I added a bunch of paint to the edges and put my girl on the right side:
Here’s the left page:
and the right page:
And here’s the full page:
Sorry photos are kind of bad. My camera doesn’t like these pages for some reason. But I still love making these pages.
Weekly Art Journal is a weekly project for 2011. You can read more about it here. And you can find out more about the weeklong daily journaling here.
I love your weekly art journal. This weeks is beautiful, love how you do different things with your numbered days and all the colors blend so nicely. Your She art is so pretty, I really want to do those. Thanks so much for sharing these with us.
thank you so so much for your kind words 🙂
Love what you’re doing here, but I kinda miss not getting to see that map more. Love the map idea, will you use it again, please? These weekly pages are awesome, just as you are.
i’ll have to use it again 🙂 i love maps, too 🙂
Love your pages, the girl is adorable!
Hi Karen,
I meant to tell you last week, but I LOVE these pages! So very pretty. I’m glad that even if you aren’t feeling 100%, at least you are being kinder to yourself. Way to go. It’s like I tell my daugther, I hate to see ANYONE being mean to you, even you!
Have a wonderful day!
thank you so much! I love that, will have to remember it! 🙂
Wonderful – these are works of art. So wish I had the artistic talent to do this.
trust me, it takes so much less talent than it seems. i have no artistic talent at all!
this is beautiful. will you be able to provide instructions on how you did it? 🙂
is there a specific part you’d like to see instructions on?
These pages are so beautiful! I like the use of the map and your she art. I am looking at the She Art class, and I am wondering what your thoughts about it are? I think the background techniques alone sound interesting.
she art class was awesome. i really really loved it! highly recommended. I already signed up for her second class 🙂
I love this. I’m most impressed with the layering of paint and stamps–is that it? I’d love to hear your creative process.
thank you 🙂 all the layering is thanks to christy tomlinson on this page 🙂
I love this idea of a weekly art journal. Your talent is amazing.
I love the combination of colours on this page! Thank you for sharing another great page.
Hi – I wonder if you could explain how you draw/paint your girl?
Do you write your journalling free hand?
yes, i write the journaling free hand 🙂 the girl however is from a class i took with Christy Tomlinson: http://christytomlinson.typepad.com/christytomlinson/sheartworkshop.html it wouldn’t be fair for me to explain since it’s her class 🙂
Hi Karen
I really look forward every week to what you create with your journal pages. They have inspired me to give it a try. I really like the horizontal format of yours and was wondering what brand/type of journal you are using – I can only find vertical oriented ones in the stores near me. Thanks.
thank you! this is an A4 Moleskine watercolor journal: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/8862931948
Karen, you mentioned in another post that you’re using a Strathmore Visual Journal but the ones in your link are coil bound and the one you’re using lays flat, no coils. Do they make those as well, or did you switch. I really dislike coil books and would prefer one in this style.
Hi Heather, for this project, I use the Moleskine Watercolor journal, the A4 size: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/8862931948
Thank you, Karen. I’m on the hunt for one now. Do you mind my asking how much they are in the U.S? They’re fairly pricey here so I’m thinking I may ask my mother to pick one up for me in New York this weekend.
lookslike mine was $19.77. I bought it on amazon 🙂
Right. You said that. Duh. They’re over $50 here in Toronto, so I think I’ll try online or with my mother. Thank you!
I really enjoy seeing your process. Beautiful page!!!! xoxo
Wow, this is so beautiful, thanks for sharing with us. Very inspiring!
