For today’s abstract art journal page I am working mostly with Neocolor II crayons. I asked you guys over on my Instagram stories to pick a color scheme and this is what I am going to use today. I am also using some collage elements and some stamps. I also use the Neocolors for stamping.

o get my creative juices flowing, I often create these kind of art journal pages. They are super simple and don’t take much time. They also fit perfectly into a busy day. Today I am working with the Gansai Tambi Watercolors. I have them for years and haven’t been using them for a long time. As I don’t want to hoard my art supplies I decided to pull them out an use them for some paintings.

Creating abstract and intuitive paintings is so much fun. I totally get into a flow and I am just focusing on the painting process. There is no thinking or planning, just painting and enjoying all those beautiful colors. I truely believe that EVERYONE can paint! There is absolutely no drawing experience needed. Today I am using watercolor pencils, a little bit of acrylic paint and Crayons. You don’t need any fancy or new art supplies! You can use what you have!

I made a bunch of autumnal Artist Trading Cards using up a lot of my Gelli Print Scraps. For these cards I used my favourite autumn stamp sets. The Carved Whimsy Wood and Textured Mushrooms! All stamps are linked at the end of the post.

For today’s art journal collage I am using some of my handmade collage papers. I decided to create a little scene with one of my house stamps.

Painting abstract with watercolors is super relaxing and so much fun. On this spread I used also metallic watercolors and some of my stamps.

On today’s abstract watercolor background in my art journal, I am using collage papers and Neocolor Crayons to make my marks. For the collage I am using gelli prints and also some scrap papers with left over paint.
