I started reading the page I was about to paint in my journal.  Certain words jumped out at me so I boxed them in with a black marker.  I didn’t think about it just went with my instincts.

I used white paint around the word boxes.  Once it was dry I watercolored the words in boxes.

Now I started reading the words.  The ones that fit together for me at this moment got an arrow or two.

To finish it off I drew big letters with watercolor pencils.  After they dried, I outlined with a black pen.

Do you ever feel like creating but just don’t know where to start?  I did today!  When I flipped through my art journal this page grabbed my attention.  This page was pure joy because I had no idea where it was going – I just kept adding to it.   Before I knew it my purple page for The Summer of Color challenge at Twinkle Twinkle was finished!

I started with textured circles.

Then I used watercolor pencils to make the circles.

I ended with black pen circles and words.
