Start Art Journaling - how to start, what journal to use and a little about composition - tutorial

Hello and welcome to my channel!

Finally it´s here. As promised I will talk a little about composition in this video.
Also, are you struggeling to start? What journal to use? In this video we will start a new art journal using an old book. I will guide you through the first steps and then we are playing with acrylics paints. You can even see me fixing a part of the spread that I don´t like.
What topic would you want me to cover in the next tutorial video?
Wish to see this spread as usual with music? There is a separate video for you!

I'm always amazed when artists share their secrets. Thank you for showing the process, explaining composition considerations and being realistic about recovering from 'errors'.

This is fantastic! I’ve never really heard anyone talk about composition before and it’s really very helpful. Thank you for sharing and more like this please!😀

What a superb lesson! As soon as I saw your journal pages, I thought I want to learn how to do that. Your instructions and your inspiration are just so helpful. I’m so glad I found this.

[Smart_cooky]

thank you so much for your clear explanation of tools/products etc. I was watching other videos (in an effort to start somewhere myself with art journaling in this style of scrapping/painting) but feeling so lost util I found this episode. I’m only 29 min in and have learned so much I feel like I can already start and am excited to grab all those old books I’ve been hanging on to for decades KNOWING there’s a purpose!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. For a beginner this has been one of the best videos I have watched. Really helpful. 😊

Best and most informative beginners' video I've watched - it was soooo helpful to see the process from start to finish; to get the useful tips on using gesso; and to get some insight into composition. Ok, my first attempt is not great, but from your video, I can actually see where I have 'gone wrong' and how to make it better in future. Thanks so much.
