Art Between Art
Following on from Making Art Everyday, there is also Making Art inbetween Making Art. You know those times when you need to wait a few minutes for something to dry (and the heat gun isn't appropriate!), this is when I have now decided to move to one of my journals and start to create something. I work between the two. It is also good to turn to play in this journal if I am a little stuck with the piece I am working on, it gives me a break and time to just play.It is also a great place to play with colour combinations..
This journal is another excerise to try to free myself up. To stop THINKING and just do. It does not matter if it doesn't work. It doesn't matter if it gets finished in one sitting - which is sometimes better not to get finished as there is not a blank page to start with.
I often see what other artists have done and am inspired and influenced by them. To use similar things in this journal is fine because it gets it out of my head, I try something new/different and it enables me to eventually make it my own.
Colours used are Golden: Quin/Nic Azo Gold, Titanium White & Cobalt Violet Hue
Wonderful page - loved reading your thoughts on art every day - something I think about too, but am also often overtaken by the late-night-too-tired syndrome....

Great to create a little something everyday - I like your reminder about not overthinking, thats usually my greatest enemy!

I am one to get stuck and limited by my overthinking and perfectionism too. I have just started stepping out a bit in a new art journal. Who would have thought it would be so hard to just draw!
