Use your excess paints on an Art Journal page

I usually keep a large art journal book like Dyan Reaveley's close at hand when I'm using paints on a canvas.  I wipe off my brushes before really cleaning them that way I don't waste my paint and I get some interesting random pages to boot.  It's also a nice way to audition stamps and stencils.  On these pages I added some Stampotique stamps with those cute little dogs!


I hope you're staying busy and I hope you're stealing a little time here and there for art adventures.  Hugs ~  Renee

  3. Really great idea! I have started keeping a journal with all the ideas I have jotted down on scraps of paper. Now the ideas are all in one place. And, I left room to add samples too....Love your pages!
