I have to be honest. I have never kept an art journal. I have purchased three of them, but I don't think that counts. I guess I have intended to start an art journal but I just haven't started one yet. Oops.

I was first introduced to art journaling by one of my workshop students. Since then many other students have brought and shared their art journals. They are one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

On today's Artists Helping Artists radio program our show was titled "How to Use Art Journaling as a Way to Express Your Creative Side”. The show aired today, Thursday, July 28, at 9:00 am PST, 12:00 noon EST. On the show my co-host Dottie Leatherwood and I discussed how and why you should use art journaling as a way to express your creative side. We shared why art journaling is about the process and how you can use journaling to rediscover your sense of fun. I highly recommend you listen to this very informative show!

And I am thinking I just might start one of those journals this weekend. How about you?

Thanks so much for this show, I loved it so much! A significant part of the art I am doing these days is in my nature journal. I was a little disappointed that you didn't mention nature journals specifically -- part art, part science, I absolutely adore them. If anyone is interested in getting into nature journaling, I highly recommend John Muir Laws' books on the subject, which delve into how to ask questions about observing things in nature and also how best to translate them onto the page.

I wasn't thinking that my nature journal "counted", but since it obviously does, I may join you for 30 in 30 in September... I need a reason to journal even more frequently than I do. Thanks again for an awesome show this week, and resources I wasn't aware of. The plein air show encouraged me to get out there more, too, something I've wanted to do since spring. Keep inspiring people :)
