Join us on Monday, July 20, 2015 from 7-9 p.m. for Playing with Backgrounds!

When is the last time you played? Really played with no thought as to the outcome but just enjoying the process, the surprises, and a few laughs? We all need more play and a journal is the perfect place to play with art and not-so-art materials. Tonight we will play with traditional and non-traditional materials and explore a multitude of ways to playfully (experimentally) create a journal page or journal background. When we have created a playful sheet (or two) I will show how to turn a single sheet of paper into a simple book structure, instantly making our playful fun into background color for journaling or sketches.

A quick list of some of the items in my basket for Monday night: shaving cream, bubbles, acrylic ink, tape, mini misters, watercolors, alcohol, permanent markers and watercolor paper…

Interested? Intrigued? Join us on Monday night as we explore the playful side of applying color to page. Bring your current journal to play in and share from, along with an open attitude and the knowledge that things may get messy, which means at least part of our fun is so messy it will be outside.

As always the Visual Journal Collective is open to any and all adult journal keepers at every level and ability.  This means from the merely curious to the life long artist.  I look forward to playing with you on Monday night!
