Hi everyone, it's been a while since I shared a flip through of my art journals, so I thought I would do a quick video of a peek into 3 of my art journals to show you the art work I have created recently and when I started. Have a look at the video below for a peek inside.

Hello April! Happy Easter!

Message from Susie over in my Facebook Group - This month I’ve decided to just give you a very broad challenge, a picture and colour palette but no prompts! It may not be to everyone’s taste but you are free to interpret it however you wish!! Even if it’s not your thing please give it a go, we don’t learn and improve unless we try, so have fun and enjoy..... Susie xxx

It was half term last month, so I did quite a bit of catching up on my art journal pages for various travelling art journals and my own. Here are some of the pages I created in February.

I can't wait to see your creations on Instagram and over in the group. What have you been up to this last month? And more importantly do you have a snow day???

Take Care and Be Safe,
​Kerry xx

Guest post for Mrs Brimbles Art Creative Team

Anna Brim has some amazing goodies from the collage sheets and tutorials this month over on her patreon page, so many so that I was having so many creative ideas. It is easy to get overwhelmed when you get new art goodies and I guess this happened to me this month. I tried to create something that people could use as ideas, but everything I tried just didn't resonate with me and it didn't feel organic enough. 

You will have the whole month to get it done and there will be somewhere for you to post pictures too! Everyone who posts will go into a draw to win a prize, you’ll be allocated numbers at the end of the month and random . org will be used to pick a winner. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join in and you can go back and complete them at any time and you don't need to do them all.

A christmas themed page for this months blog post for Anna (Mrs Brimbles) using her fabulous tutorials on watercolour resist from the November patreon workshop video. I have seen this month that Anna has been using the Gansai Tambi Watercolours in gold (Starry Colors) and I just had to get some...they are stunning. I have been so inspired by the content on her patreon page these last two months that I really could have created a million things.I decided to focus on 3 things: Watercolour resist, using the Starry Colors paints and playing around with the December collage sheets.

Beginning the journey into art journaling can sometimes be scary; not knowing where to start or what tools and equipment you need, thinking it won't be good enough, not having any inspiration... sound familiar? It needn't be.

​Art journals are a means of self expression and are ultimately for YOU, no one else. So stop judging yourself and get going and go with the flow, you soon won't be able to stop those creative juices from flowing. Read on for 10 ideas to get you started.
