Art Journal Peek: Daisy Yellow & Pink

Here’s a Before Page in my Kawaii Art Journal. This is what it looked like when I bound the book together. One painted page and one gray wall paper page to the right, decorated with some polka dot washi tape.

Then I start saw this video by Tammy where she demonstrates a fun flower painting technique.

So, even though there are a gazillion art exercises in books and on blogs, not many of those speak to me. But this one totally did!

So that’s why I wanted to share my before-and-after journal spread with you. Here’s my page, with pink and yellow Daisy flowers:

It turned out very pretty, don’t you think? And then some collage bits on the left side of the spread, to finish it of.

Creativity is soothing for the soul, don’t you agree?

Here’s DaisyYellow’s tutorial video too [no longer online].

The video Flower & Fade from Tammy is rather inspiring and fun, isn’t it?

I’m really happy with this spread. Simple, but happy.

  1. Hanna, your flowers turned out wonderful and so did your pages … love ’em all!

    You’ve inspired me enough to actually buy a real art journal [the only thing I’ve ever used is the composition notebooks. lol] I’m not so artistic and mostly like to do glue art [though I am starting to doodle a bit!]

    Plan on ordering the art journal tonight or tomorrow [it’s in my shopping cart at Amazon as I write this.] Wanna make sure I don’t think of anything else I want or need before I actually order it. lol

    Have a nice day!

    • Oh, how wonderful! I hope you’ll enjoy working in your new art journal (what brand did you pick?) and let me know how it feels working on some nice papers! I love aquarelle paper in mine, but also enjoy thin envelope papers that I also include in the ones I make! :-)

    • Thanks Robyn, it was a lot of fun. Next time I’m going to try painting this kind of flowers on a more colorful background, but here I thought they did just fine on the gray wallpaper.

  2. Hanna, How delicious! I’m so happy you played with the flowers technique in your journal. Love from Texas!

    • Thanks for visiting Tammy and taking a peek around here too!
      I adore your videos and the music makes me even happier if possible. You rock!
