OK so you all have to promise not to laugh at me ok? PROMISE?? This is my attempt at a minimalist art journal page. I know right, pretty funny right? In an attempt to be minimalist I restricted myself to three colors for this journal page and I hope it inspires you guys as well!
Hands don't co operate
So I love to look at beautiful images of journals with all that white space and simplicity. For some reason though I just cannot get my hands and my brain to co operate with this concept though. It's just not in my DNA so this page is my attempt at my own version of minimalist
Ombre it up
So to keep things simple I limited myself to one color and I went with blue as I had quite a few shades of it to hand. Playing with the different shades and tones of blue on the one page was a lot of fun and something I definietly want to do again, it was just so much easier than worrying which color went with what!
Experiment with your brushes
I am sure that you have quite a few (read a million for me) brushes lying around but it can be easy to just reach for the same one over and over and just use it to blend in your paints. In this spread I use the shape of the whole brush to make my own marks. It was super fun to paint all of these little square shapes onto my page.

Let’s dig a little deeper!
What if there was something that could help you work though identifying your style and give you some great ideas of ways to grow it? Wouldn’t that be great? Well my friend, I got your back! I’ve created the “Map Your Style Workbook” and you can get it for free from me right now!
The workbook is broken into two sections. Firstly we look at your style and how to identify it with a series of excercises. The next section takes the elements of our style we already have and works on ways to grow it more, to push you (gently!) outside of your comfort zone!
So what are you waiting for! Join me and help Map Your Style right now!
