WHAT IS AN ART JOURNAL?

WHAT KIND OF JOURNAL SHOULD YOU USE?

JUST THE ESSENTIAL SUPPLIES TO BEGIN

If you are just starting out with art journaling, don’t over-purchase supplies. Don't be like that new photography student who buys an expensive camera, 20 different lens, tripods, lights, backdrops and everything else related to cameras…and then starts on lesson one: how to focus.

HOW TO LEARN HOW (TO ART JOURNAL)

Let me tell you a secret: Art journaling doesn’t have to be art. And you don’t have to “be” an artist (although you can be). An art journal is simply a private and safe place for anyone—anyone—to be creative.
