I always loved drawing and sketching but painting is one thing I was always scared off.
I love writing journals and have been writing a gratitude journal since last few years.
Last few months I was having the desire to start a art journal but was not sure how to go about it.After doing a lot of research on the net I decided to do it.I took whatever sketchbook was available at home and started doing paintings in it.
First day was inspired to do flowers and did the same.Second and third day forced myself to draw some shapes and colour them.I was not getting any inspiration.
Simultaneously since the time I started doing art journal, everyday when I used to read the newspaper in the morning one word used to just stand out and hold my attention .
So today when I read the word EXPERIENCES I decided from now on any word , image or incident that holds my attention I shall interpret it in my art journal the way I want to express it.
EXPERIENCES
The first thought that came to my mind when I thought about this word was everyday experiences.The different experiences we have throughout the day they may be happy ( interpreted in yellow) ,sad(brown),anger ((red),frustration(puple),calmness(blue).The time period will also vary some experience we may feel for a long time some for a short time.
Some time we may be just in the calm mood the full day.Sometimes we are so busy that we don't know how the day passed.(white)
The black lines interpret the segmenting of the day.
