Tonight was the first Spreecast for 21 Secrets LIVE. Hosts Connie Hozvicka, Lisa Wilson, and Hali Karla took us through their process of art journaling. The theme for the night was "beginnings".
The idea of 21 Secrets LIVE is to get people art journaling, as well as to feel like they are hanging out with friends, while art journaling. There is a video of the hosts and/or the guest art journaler. There is also a chat happening next to the video area. The chat room is for asking questions about the process, supplies, etc.
Next week, the lovely Jane Davenport will be sharing her art journaling skills. The weekly Spreecasts are not art journaling lessons per se, but you do get to "hang out" with a fellow art journaling enthusiast and ask questions while you are together online. Sound fun? I thought so.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, the theme for tonight was "beginnings".
I really enjoy seeing the stages that go into other people's art, so I decided to snap a few photos as I worked on my art journal page tonight. Pictured below are the stages that my art journal page took throughout the 21 Secrets LIVE Spreecast.
It is interesting to me to reflect back on the art journaling process. At the beginning, sometimes I think I am close to being "done", yet I know adding more layers will add a lot of depth. So, I add more paint or lines or scribbles. Eventually, when I am into adding layers, I find it hard to know when to stop. Since I was taking pictures of my process, I could see from a different view what the page was looking like. That helped me know which parts needed more attention, and which ones were fine already.
There is almost always more that could be added, but I chose to stop when the LIVE session ended. I wanted to share what I created with you here, as well as in the 21 Secrets LIVE community online.
Thanks for stopping by. If you have any questions or encouraging comments, I would love to hear from you!
Blessings and Peace,
Briana
