September 11th 2008, My second day of Art Journaling

Doctor Doctor,I have an official addiction. An affliction. Ever since seeing Danny Gregory's video where he is teaching how do a watercolor landscape in his art journal, I've become hooked on "Art Journals". He has a way about him that inspires me to have fun and simply create. This morning the first thing i did was jump out of bed, ready to draw. A whole community of people on the web are connected through Danny's website and a yahoo group and they share their work - that's a big pull for me. I can't wait to join them.

September 10th 2008, My First Day of Art Journaling

This is the beginning of my journey through 30 days of art journaling. This adventure has been inspired by Danny Gregory the creator of "Everyday Matters". Danny talks about the "experience of drawing" and encourages one to slow down, take your time with drawing and have fun. Keep experimenting. Express your emotions. In one of his short instruction videos on the web Danny gives a 30 day assignment: draw every morning for 30 days - 15 to 20 minutes and capture the experience by putting captions into the piece describing what you learn about each piece of the drawing or reflect about your feelings during the endeavor. Here is day 1 :-)
