Art Journal

Throughout most of the 3rd quarter I worked in a watercolor journal. I filled up the entire thing from front to back over most of the quarter. I don't want to show all of it because it is mostly personal and really weird. I did a lot of minimalistic art in the journal though, and used a lot of quotes and lyrics.

Something that was common in my paintings was that I would use mostly muted colors and then just have emphasis on one color. I also painted a lot of nature, I've been working on getting more realistic with my watercolor paintings. I also painted a lot of things out of my comfort zone in this journal. I tried painting things that I wasn't confident would come out looking good or that I didn't really how to approach.

Pinterest was my best friend during this whole process, I got a lot of my inspiration from there. I usually looked up a lot of concept images and would always look at the related images to an image that I really liked. Sometimes I would find an image that I wasn't particularly fond of as a whole but maybe there was one part of it I really liked or there would be an overall theme that I took inspiration from.

As an overall, I really liked how the journal came out. There are some pieces in it that I do not like at all but I kept them in because it is all a growing process and even the worst of my art is still art. But there is also some pieces that I am really proud of. They might be really simple but I have learned to love minimalistic art and how something could be so simple yet so meaningful.
