I love sharing art ideas! It
can also be so enlightening and fun to try something new. Even for a seasoned
artist, the practice of trying something new feels really good.
If art journaling is new to
you, buying just a few art supplies is all you need to get started. The best
part is, all of these items can be found at the grocery store!
Art journal– A book with blank pages that can range in size. I like to
get one small enough to fit in my purse or bag.
Watercolor paint– Paint that only requires water and a brush. Any
brand will do! Yes, even the brands that children use. Bonus: All watercolor
sets come with a brush.
Permanent pens and markers-I
love my thin sharpies! Fun to draw with and nice to write with. If you paint on
top of your writing, the ink will not fade.
Crayons-Inexpensive and you can feel like a kid again. Enjoy the nostalgia and the smell!
Let’s start with this! Look out for my next post and I will get you started.
Love,
Margaret
