I did a class with Dina in 2011, & her style really appeals to me too. I LOVE colour!<br />From what I've seen of your work, you have a great style!<br />Thanks for sharing that great quote, as well as all the different styles of journalling.<br />Enjoy your journalling journey,<br />Alison x<br />Alisonhttp://craftytrog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308268226874773643.post-85330732024029886552013-01-15T23:31:03.902+00:002013-01-15T23:31:03.902+00:00I love Dina!

Don't think I have a particular style yet as just experimenting still.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10550310970017380615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308268226874773643.post-23588715516157747532013-01-15T07:43:58.975+00:002013-01-15T07:43:58.975+00:00Yes never worry about your style as it will show i...Yes never worry about your style as it will show in your work - I never thought I had a particular style as I am so changeable but quite often people see things I have made and say its so me so there must be some kind of style there somewhere! Also I much prefer the blank page stage and rarely have any problems starting a project off its the finishing that scuppers me! Just enjoy it.Sunshine Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01481368732287002080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308268226874773643.post-9781008887356409942013-01-14T19:19:01.010+00:002013-01-14T19:19:01.010+00:00I love the quote at the end of this post and I bel...I love the quote at the end of this post and I believe that. Our art evolves as we do and it ebbs and flows and shifts with experience and exposure to other events in our lives. Although I was first drawn to work such as Donna Downey, I find that in my art journal I like more simplistic pages. Also in my sketch journal, I try out different mediums/images and see what catches my eye when I go back through it and then practice those images that I made that caught my eye...it seems to be working. Love what you wrote.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308268226874773643.post-73945426828728494612013-01-14T17:41:59.508+00:002013-01-14T17:41:59.508+00:00Your comments on your art journalling style remind...Your comments on your art journalling style remind me very much of my journey with scrapbooking. I admired the lightness other people seemed to produce in their pages but mine always seemed dark and solid. This has evolved over time but I still done think I have a recognisable 'style'. I think it's all about experimenting, finding what works for you and having fun.<br />There is something that makes the art journalling harder than scrapbooking and that's mixing colours in paint and ink. Have you come across the theory that there are cool and warm version sof every colour? It's explained very well in a book entitled 'Blue and Yellow don't make Green'. Having read and digested I found that I could keep my colours clear and bright rather than dark and muddy.JulieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416447971525412024noreply@blogger.com
