Using under paper in your art journal—Journal with me process video

Messy under paper from my art table inspired this journal page. I love how it turned out! Do you save your under paper for use in other projects?

Oh, did I ever enjoy this video. I've been dealing with cancer, hospitals and chemo, so this took me away from it all. Thank you!!

I love your under paper. It looks like a whimsical forest of trees.

I love underpaper. It's more interesting than anything I could try to contrive. I also like the serendipity and lack of control that comes with it.

Great page. I think underpapers are often the best parts of creating too.

On the left hand page it looks like a face peeking between some trees. I was hoping you didn’t cover it up. This piece is gorgeous. So glad I found your channel ❤

I love this. Great idea. Your under paper reminds me of birch trees.

Love how you just get on with it and don't get precious. I find that when I don't agonize the process feels better and I tend to love the outcome more because happy accidents occur. Love that you use your fingers and your work space is human and organic. Thank you for sharing your process.

Love love this! I “discovered“ my under papers 4 or 5 years ago and now I treasure them.

It’s just amazing how you built up these pages. Who would have thought ‘scraps’ could inspire something so beautiful. You definitely have an Artist’s soul!

You’re so good at this! 😅 Every page I’ve seen you create on YouTube is wonderful. They’re definitely a work of art.

This is just stunning! I save my under papers, brush-cleaning papers, and brayer-cleaning papers for this very reason.

Another beautiful page. I could just sit and watch your process all day long. I also use under page I think sometimes it’s just looks so fabulous. I am deliberate when I put color on my under page so that it looks like some thing I can use I’m not real random with it, but it’s fun to work with

I just discovered your channel a few weeks ago and have binge watched most of your videos. I love your process! Why the graph journal? Also, saw peeks of the other pages in this journal. Would you consider a flip through? I have always loved the art that happens when we're not looking. Thank you for showing a way to transform it! Please keep filming. I find your videos calming and educational at the same time.
