  daisy yellow — Authority: 136
  "A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy." ~ Albert Einstein Paging through my art journals, I find a lovely, colorful, worn-edged, eclectic collection of shapes and sizes, a mixture of bound and loose pages. They feel wonderfully familiar. Give this a try. Grab several ...

• Step #239: Abstract Backgrounds

  
  daisy yellow — Authority: 136
  How do you define a background? Its tricky. To me, its the beginning of a page, after you get gessoed and you start adding stuff, whether paint, paper, texture, but before it is complete. It is the backdrop to the focus of the page, whether its a photo, a quote, your journaling, etc. Or you could consider any ...

• Raw-Art Journal Cover-to-Cover

  
  QuinnCreative — Authority: 125
  After years of keeping a journal, I decided to try something new–to make an art journal from the ideas, sketches, and fun parts of my journals. Instead of keeping notes, images, sketches as I do in my journal, I made this one deliberately, cover to cover. Here are some of the images. The front cover is made by ...

  daisy yellow — Authority: 136
  Working on pages in an altered book that I started last year. This was a page I actually considered complete, but I guess I just didnt love it. The background (bottom photograph) is magenta golden fluid acrylics, gesso, stenciled paint. I covered the words with maps and added images, cardstock, maps, hand-painted ...

• Inspiration

  
  misspriss.org — Authority: 128
  I’ve been trying to look at everyday objects in a new way, as potential for art rather than just clutter or junk. It has to be a balance, though, because I can’t hang on to everything in hopes it’ll become useful later. And instead of wishing I hadn’t tossed something that I suddenly think I [...]

• Creativity Whisperer

  
  QuinnCreative — Authority: 125
  Cesar Millan may be the Dog Whisperer , but his method works pretty well for the unruly, leash-tugging creative urge. You know that creative muse–the one you desperately want in your life, but that disappears around the corner and won’t come when called. When it does show up, it runs you ragged. You are off to ...
