I wanted to share a bit

about my 'process' in art journaling  - 

I've already shared that I usually use books I get at the thrift store...

And I start by painting the background

[Many times I like a thin coat so you see the background through the paint...]

Then I do a pencil sketch 

[almost always inspired by something I see on pinterest] 

and begin painting - 

You can see that these days  

KittyLou keeps a watchful eye on things...

After I'm happy with the paint

I outline with a pen, and add words and stickers - 

[these were all created on the computer]

and outline those as well.

And there you have it - a fun little page 

reflecting a song that's been on my heart.

Note: It's important to let each process dry completely 

before adding pen to the page...
