Art journal spread in progress.

PAINT RANT:

This spread was made using Liquitex’s acrylic gouache and Holbein’s acrylic gouache, which is my new favorite paint! It dries to a smooth and velvety finish, it applies super opaquely, and it is highly pigmented. Everything about Holbein’s acrylic gouache paints reaches beyond my expectations, minus their price.

The Holbein acrylic gouache is so expensive! They will never be the only paint I use, just because of how expensive they are. For the price, Golden’s matte acrylic paint series are almost as good. Unfortunately, neither Holbein’s acrylic gouache, nor Golden’s matte acrylic paint series stretch very far. I’ll definitely continue to use my Liquitex acrylic gouache because of this, even though it has more of a sheen and seemed less opaque than either of the other two brands.

Still though, this Holbein acrylic gouache genuinely makes painting a better experience.

Heyo! I’ve got a new journaling video up on YouTube today. Come journal with me! 😊

[onehornla]

The concept behind Onehornla's one of a kind mermaidcore folio: 'SEA TAILS' In the shimmering expanse of the ocean, where sunlight danced on the waves and the depths held secrets untold, lived a radiant mermaid named Lirelle. With long, flowing tresses that mirrored the colors of the coral and eyes that held the wisdom of ancient waters, she was a creature of enchantment and grace.

One fateful day, as Lirelle glided through the underwater gardens, her melodious song drawing dolphins and fish to her side, a shadow fell over her. Startled, she looked up to find herself ensnared in a net woven by human hands. Panic gripped her heart, and her heartrending song filled the ocean, echoing like a plea for salvation.

Above the surface, aboard a weathered ship, stood Captain Aric. A sea-faring man with weathered features, he had heard tales of mermaids and their enchanting songs. Yet, nothing could have prepared him for the heart-stopping beauty of the mermaid before him.

As Lirelle's voice wove a spell around him, Aric's initial intentions faltered. He looked into her eyes and saw not a captive creature, but a soul brimming with wonder and longing. A storm of conflicting emotions raged within him – duty to his crew, his desire for adventure, and an unexpected tenderness that surged from the depths of his heart.

Aric couldn't deny the pull he felt towards Lirelle, a pull that defied reason and circumstance. He cut the net, freeing her from her temporary prison. Their eyes met, and in that fleeting moment, a connection formed that transcended their worlds.

With hesitant trust, Lirelle allowed herself to be guided by Aric to the ship's deck. The sea breeze tangled her hair, mingling with the scent of salt and adventure. Language barriers were meaningless; their souls communicated through a language only the heart comprehends.

As days turned into nights, Lirelle learned of Aric's world – of distant lands, of stars that guided sailors, and of dreams that traversed horizons. In turn, she shared tales of underwater kingdoms, of dancing with schools of fish, and of the songs that echoed through ocean currents.

But with each passing day, a truth weighed heavily on their hearts. Lirelle belonged to the sea, and Aric to the land. Their love was a fragile bloom that defied the boundaries of their worlds.

As the ship sailed through uncharted waters, Lirelle and Aric found themselves drawn to a secluded cove. There, beneath a canopy of stars, they shared a bittersweet farewell. Their love, though forbidden and fleeting, had changed them forever.

With a tender kiss and a promise etched in their souls, Lirelle slipped beneath the waves, returning to her ocean realm. Aric watched her vanish into the depths, carrying with her a piece of his heart.

And so, the sea and the land held the memory of an improbable love – a mermaid and a sea man who defied destiny to experience a love that ignited in the heart of the enchanting depths.

Journaling Ideas: My Nostalgic Collage Chaos – Where Memories Meet Art

Dive into nostalgic journaling with a collage twist!

Welcome to the world where your cherished memories ideas transform into mesmerizing art pieces! If you're like me—a lady who's seen a few trends come and go—then you'll understand the timeless allure of mixed media collage using paper ephemera, vintage illustrations, and all kinds of nostalgic imagery. Today, let's dive into why journaling infused with collage elements is the creative trend you shouldn't miss this year.

A Throwback to Analog Aesthetics

The beauty of analog collage lies not just in its visual appeal but in its ability to evoke emotions. Incorporate analog aesthetics like faded imagery, sepia tones, and distressed paper into your journal. Use vintage magazine clippings, old photographs, or even newspaper clippings to create a backdrop that tells stories. The rich texture of these materials adds depth to your memory collage, making each page a tactile repository of the past.

Curating Your Personal Ephemeral Art Gallery

Think of your journal as a curatorial space for ephemeral art. Collect found paper, Victorian scrap, and antique postcards. Mix these with retro cutouts or vintage advertisements for a surreal collage that spans eras. Layered compositions are not just visually appealing but are also a metaphor for the complexity of our memories. Every piece of memorabilia collage, from ticket stubs to travel memorabilia, has a backstory that enriches your journal.

From Scrapbooking to Art Journaling

Transitioning from traditional scrapbooking to more dynamic art journaling is like unlocking a new level of creativity. Use techniques like decoupage, assemblage art, and photomontage to integrate elements such as botanical illustrations, vintage labels, and retro typography. Every page of your journal can become a unique piece of heritage scrapbooking, blending art with personal history.

Keeping the Nostalgia Alive

In a digital world, the tactile sensation of handling textured paper, the sight of handwritten letters, and the charm of vintage children's books evoke a unique sense of nostalgia. Embrace this in your journals. Use polaroid frames, library cards, and vintage maps to craft a backdrop that's as rich in history as it is in aesthetics. The personal touch of analog photography or a handwritten postcard creates an intimate connection to the past, making your journal a treasure trove of personal history.

Right now I’m reading about art journaling/junk journaling (the precursor to actually DOING art journaling/junk journaling, of course 😜), and this quote from “Creative Wanderlust” (Kasia Avery) really jumped out at me. As a Zentangle artist I (and maybe you too?) can sometimes get a little too “precious” about my work and need to remind myself that it’s only paper. No one is going to die if I put the ink down in the “wrong” place - and sometimes, something that seems like a mistake at first actually turns into something I never would have thought to do, but can appreciate (and maybe even love)! Let’s be gentle with ourselves and focus more on the joy in the creative journey rather than the outcome. 😊
