How do I start an art journal?

Starting an art journal is a wonderful way to express your creativity! You can begin by choosing a journal that inspires you, whether it's blank pages, lined, or mixed media. What kind of art do you want to include?

I want to include sketches and some writing.

That sounds great! You can dedicate pages to sketches and use others for writing reflections or thoughts about your art. Do you have any specific themes or subjects in mind for your sketches?

I love nature, so maybe landscapes and plants.

Nature is a beautiful theme! You could start by taking photos during your walks and then sketching from those. Would you like tips on how to capture landscapes or plants?

Yes, that would be helpful!

For landscapes, focus on the horizon line and the shapes of the land. For plants, observe their details like leaves and textures. Practice sketching them from different angles!
