Fun Ideas for your Watercolor Art Journal

Everyone loves a fun art journal!  I thought I would share some of my ideas about how I add to my watercolor art journals to make them interesting, creative and fun.  I started keeping art journals in 1991 and along the way I have accumulated many ways to mix watercolor painting with mixed media.
I encourage you to share your ideas too in the comment section!  Thanks, Jacqueline

· Paint a watercolor painting.

· Give the painting a title.

· Draw a line around the painting following the edges of the painting.

· Ink all the value changes in the painting with a permanent ink pen.

· Write about the time, place, location and people you meet along the bottom and/or edges of the page.

· Paint on another piece of watercolor paper or different type of paper and glue it on the page.

· Make a frame with artist tape.  Paint a colorful wash of watercolors.  When dry, pull it off and use this area to add thoughts.
