Journal Cover - Growth

Hi everyone!

On my last live stream I painted my 'repurposed' journal covers. I have finally finished another journal!!!

So today we used soft colours in greens and blues and added some ceecee 'pretties' flowers to finish it. Although by the time I added the flowers I didn't know what the title would be until I finished the stream and thought about it. That's when I came up with the title 'GROWTH'. Growth being how we grow in our art from practise.

Dylusions 8x5 Creative Journal Cover

Hi everyone!

Painting the cover of my small Dylusions journal in deep red! I don't think there's one page in this journal which looks remotely like the cover LOL. I also covered the inside pocket and inside cover.

I did have a lot of fun with the covers, even though there wasn't much done to it. Not as many layers as I usually do anyway.

You can watch the full process, with voice over, on my YouTube channel by clicking HERE.
