Just a few pages of relaxation.. Sometimes it’s practicing patterns or working out an idea that’s been bouncing around.. Sometimes it’s practice of a certain thing (lines and curves)… And it’s not always in black and white.. ijourney1018 {@} gmail {dot} com meandmyinkpen {@} gmail {dot} com About Me : Buy Me Coffee! : […]
There is something soothing about flower sketches.. I think it’s because I adore flowers and sketching and tangling them keeps them close at hand no matter what my surroundings are.. ijourney1018 {@} gmail {dot} com meandmyinkpen {@} gmail {dot} com About Me : Buy Me Coffee! : Get My Badge!

I saw the patterns involved in Diva Dance and I have used them elsewhere by in practicing an learning the patten I did one like this and then decided it was worthy of a page full lol. ijourney1018 {@} gmail {dot} com meandmyinkpen {@} gmail {dot} com About Me : Buy Me Coffee! : […]

Another dylusions and doodles page… but I am stuck. I don’t even know what to do from here or whether to just add some journaling lines and call it done.. But it keeps calling for me to ‘finish’ it… I keep waiting to hear what it wants on there! We’ll see! ijourney1018 {@} […]
This was a very long process. I finished it April 10th or so… I began in January! Playing with Dylusions one day, I called Kaitlynn over to use our hands as a mask. They are reactive with water so I just KNEW we could wash it right off… WRONG.. we had red hands for a […]
A round of watercolor paint mixing lead me to this page. I was experimenting with colors and how the paint worked with this journal. I figured out quickly I needed more tutorials to read lol. But I have some general plans to update this page in the future with some floral doodles on old […]
After reading a 5 part tutorial on watercolor techniques (see the pin for part 4 – layering below), I immediately had to try the layering thing. I’m not so patient and my colors played a part in what happened… but I really enjoyed this. I also couldn’t stop with just the watercolors so I added […]

I enjoyed the watercolor doodle tutorial I posted about previously so I did a second one! I did this one with me and my likes more in mind.. I used a simple color palette and just some jumbo waves! The white is my Bic correction pen and the black is Sharpie in various sizes. I […]

My baby girl and I needed some fun time today… I work in my sketchbooks, my computer, and the household chores most all of everyday.. We often do art together inside but today I thought we both needed some outdoor time together.. So I blended it all into one! Enter sidewalk chalks lol ijourney1018 […]

my art journal is more of a doodle journal now.. Because it’s a journal there will be more meaning behind the pages than is in my sketchbooks.. I work with a thought in mind whether it’s on the page or not… This one was me thinking about my family and their creative collaborations in the […]
The above doodle came about after I found a circles painting tutorial on pinterest : After reading the tutorial, I thought to myself… what a wonderful world… but let’s use watercolor! I love so many of these beautiful pages that use acrylics. I don’t know if it’s just me and my lack of abilities with […]
So I found this wonderful tutorial to test on Pinterest : I did have fun doing the watercolor doodle. But I’ve learned a couple of things : 1. I’m still learning with the watercolors lol. Okay so I knew this going in. I use these tutorial tests to try out techniques and to learn more […]
I’ve said it before and I’ll point it out again… I don’t always get to doodle! This fact is enough to make me want to whine lol. So I saw a doodle calendar on pinterest and I thought to myself… what a wonderful world! The calendar (day planner I picked up at Walmart I believe) […]
