Taking Art Journaling class with Jenny & Aaron (Class1)

So last week Jenny posted on her Blog Everyday is a Holiday that they would be doing a weekly free Art Journaling class every Thursday on her blog.  I was really excited because I love her posts of her art journal, and I have always wondered what exactly she does to make them.

It's also been a long time since I have done anything with art that doesn't involve decorating a cake on a daily basis. I like the Idea of the weekly class it will give me some sense of structure to get back into creating. The consummate procrastinator that I am if there isn't some form of a deadline it wont get it done. That's what I loved when I was in art school. I was constantly creating and there was a deadline.

It surprises my I have never made an art journal before, I love collaging. It's been fun getting back into it.

Van Gogh Starry Night, Art inspires Me

This look was inspired by an artist who has always fascinated and inspired me, Vincent Van Gogh.  I love his use of bold brush strokes and combinations of complementary colors.  I took my inspiration from the painting Starry Night which was a painting Van Gogh created in his later years from the view he had outside of the window of the sanatorium.  I love the swirling of blues with the pops of green and yellow.
