Watercolor Art For Loose-Bound Art Journal Pages

Hello watercolors! It has been quite a while since I’ve touched any paint, so I decided to wade back in with baby steps by starting with watercolors, (mostly those in a tube) and then using those watercolors to make a new loose leaf art journal which I’ll be using to count the Omer, the 49 day period between the second night of Passover and the Jewish holiday of Shavuot. Because I’m creating pages on which I’ll add lettering I needed a variety of styles and backgrounds, some for lots of lettering and some for just a sentence. As I write this I’ve fortunately finished compiling the journal and am even caught up with adding the number for the day, which today is 18! So I’ll be sharing spreads with you soon, but for now here are examples of some of the pages I’ve created. And friends, watercolor is truly a great way to get creative with virtually no mess, though I hope to be getting back to the mess soon! If you want to learn about my floral watercolor cutouts, which I created from all the practice painting, and have now used them as collage for the journal pages, check that out here.

I have limited myself to using only watercolor for the painting part, but may add some details with paint pen etc. when it comes to the lettering. And of course collage allowed!
