artJOURNALING daily...make time for art journal date night!
spend the night creating art with your loved ones..put our your FAVE art supplies and a few journals and PLAY! Tyler and I spent the other night doodling and drawing. it's a great way to spend quality time doing something creative. I always love to see what he creates...he works with freedom and experiments with the materials. We worked in Strathmore Visual Journals {my favorite is the Mixed Media paper} and Strathmore Windpower Watercolor Pads, painted with Windsor & Newton Cotman Watercolors
and scribbled with Sakura Cray-Pas Specialist Oil Pastels
. Photos were taken with my iPhone Hipstamatic camera settings: lens-Buckhorst HI, film-Blanko Noir, flash-off.
a few more art journaling date night ideas..
- create a prompt jar and use them to encourage ideas for your art journal pages.
- plan an art journaling and wine party with your friends. have them bring their favorite art supplies and enjoy wine, cheese and cupcakes!
- put out a large canvas or butcher paper and create a BIG painting to frame for your home
- make your own "art journaling" wrapping paper, recycle brown grocery bags, paint & doodle, then use them to wrap gifts
- grab your journals & art supplies then head to your FAVE coffee/tea shop or spend the day at the park and have an art journaling picnic.
- take photos and print them out, create a scrapbook page or collage them in your art journal.
- print the photos on iron-on transfer paper and make t-shirts.
- most of all enjoy spending quality time with your friends and family!
happy art journaling..xo~treiC
