Mixed Media Art - Another Art Journal Flip Through

- In this video, I'm paging through a spiral-bound art journal that I finished or decided was finished back in June. As I'm moving through the journal pages I discuss things I like and don't like in hopes of discovering the answer to the eternal question, "Why can't I make art that I like?"

Hi, Pam I enjoyed the flip through of your journal. I like listening to the commentary on your choices. The easiest way to solve your blank page issue is to turn the book upside down and make your back cover now your front cover. All of your done pictures will be on the left, upside-down. All of the blank pages will now have the coil on the left as you would like it. You may even get newly inspired by looking at your done artwork from a different angle. Another possibility, especially if you want to work more on landscapes, is to put the coil at the top and work on your blank pages in landscape, rather than portrait, mode. You also may find yourself reworking some of those "done" artworks that you don't necessarily feel are done. Looking forward to your next video. Nancy
Thanks for all those tips Nancy! I'll have to give it a try.
I love hearing you talking because I can know your insights and process about each page on your art journal. 😊
I agree. Important to hone in to what we like and dislike about our artwork. Helps to move forward. Easier said than done.
I am so glad to hear that! Thanks for letting me know.
@@elidagan4060 Definitely easier said than done!!
I love your colour combinations and the textures you used.
Thanks Diane--sounds like we enjoy similar color palettes!
The highly texture one in golden yellow hues...I really appreciated the fact that it lacked a clear focal point. The freedom to explore the different relationships of shapes textu color marks etc give me so much more then to be forced into a constructed narrativ
I think that is the beauty of an art journal--to explore and try things without the pressure to make a perfect piece of art. Thanks for watching!
Love this, thanks a lot for sharing. Especially love the Portraits and the Page with the black and Blue (Page 3) on the old book page 😊
And love the talking too 😊👍
Thanks for letting me know what you liked the most--it's fun to hear everyone's favorites. And glad you didn't mind my talking!
I like the black line on the right side of the 3 circles, I think it balances them out!
Thanks--I appreciate you mentioning that as getting another opinion can be helpful!
Love this flip through, very inspiring. I also have a lot of unfinished pages that's waiting for me to go back to. Thanks for sharing Pam😊❤
Thanks Maria! I find it hard to complete all the pages too so I don't let myself get a new art journal until I finish the last one (but of course I have like 7 different ones I'm working in all at the same time!)
thank you for sharing your art journal 🙏I like it a lot, the portraits, the colors you chose, your textures, your rough, earthy and original style💜
Oh, thanks so much Kirsten!
You have wonderful talent especially for portraits!
I appreciate you saying that! Thanks for watching.
Pam, thank you for sharing. Your art is minimalistic (which I prefer) and draws interest. I have been admiring (drooling over) your braceletes as well. Do you make/ design your own? I am a multi task artist and dable in jewelry as well as many other interests. i make necklaces and place small bits of my art in bezeled frames. You may want to look into that too, it really show cases snippets of your art. Same as your 4" canvases or your 3.5" x5.5" matted pieces just on a smaller scale. If you do make your own jewelry do you have a favorite resource for direction/ suppies? Always looking to learn new and exciting skills. If you do not make your bracelets/ necklaces congrats to the artisan who does! Looking forward to more of your creative works. Lisa
Thanks Lisa! Unfortunately, I can't take credit for the bracelets I wear as that is something I don't make. I imagine jewelry-making is fun and I especially love the idea of using your art in the jewelry you make--nice to use up all the small bits.
Thank you very interesting art, I just did an art page myself and I’m trying to copy some of your ideas like the flowers and vase, faces, and the ladder. Keep making videos please.
Oh, I'm so glad you were inspired to be creative from watching this video! Thanks for letting me know.
Really like your explanations Enjoyed your presentation ❤
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching.
I love textured pages too. Enjoyed another visit with you 😊
Thanks Carol! I appreciate you watching and letting me know.
I really like your aesthetic. I definitely saw the textured landscapes but your portraits are my favorite!
Oh, that means so much--thanks for letting me know!
Merci for sharing your sketchbooks. I have started to make some (before buying big ones) for a more creative discipline way for me… 😊
I think that is a great idea Loulou! I have a few art journals that I have made myself. I always say, "use what you have." Thanks for watching!
Love your art 😃
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching and letting me know.
lol at your suggestion to speed up and mute you if desired ❤. I love listening to you 😊
You are very kind Jacki! I get many comments that suggest I talk a bit less! Thanks for watching!
You could use the left hand side of the journal for your extra paint on the brush before you wash it…
Good idea! Thanks!
I'm the same. I go back, rework etc.
Glad to hear that I am not alone in this....sometimes it can feel like it's never done!
Absolutely loved your sketches. I like that you shared your thoughts. Awesome portraits! I wish I could do portraits 😢 I’m working on it. Do you ever pull artwork from your sketchbook to sell? Thanks again for another wonderful video. 😊
Oh Doreen, I am sure you could paint a portrait. I only say that because I never imagined I could paint one and over time it just happened. I wish you could see some of my early attempts--you would be so encouraged! As for pulling pages out of my art journal--I haven't sold any but occasionally if someone likes a page I've taken it out and given it to them.
Could you write notes on the left/back side of each page? If it were me I would maybe write notes to remember what I liked about the page.
That is a great idea Elizabeth! Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for that suggestion Elizabeth!
Ya, I don't like spiral bound. I like it to look like a book.
I hear ya. I have 2 more spiral bound art journals that are almost finished then all the new ones come with a spine.
Pam love your work! How do you keep your pages from sticking together? And lying flat? Any tips would be helpful 😅 thank you
In this spiral-bound art journal I am only working on one side so the pages don't stick together because there isn't paint on both sides. In non spiral-bound art journals, once I am finished I use clear gesso to help the pages not stick. It can be tricky to keep the art journal lying flat--sometimes I use bull clips or binder clips. Thanks for watching!
How do you keep your pages so flat?
I think because it is a spiral bound art journal and heavy mixed media paper--I'm guessing that's why the paper lays flat. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much for watching!
