Grid art journaling for beginners

[@susanweber6861]

What kind of black pens are you using please?

[@taigajournals]

The first black pen is Cricut pen, the second one is Pigma BB and the third one is Tombow brush pen WS-BH 150. Thank you Susan! 🤗🌷🫶✨

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

Wow! It turned out so pretty!

[@taigajournals]

Thank you very much! 🤗🌺💕✨

[@tamalasneed2263]

At first, I was unsure how the paintings were going to turn out. I think they turn out fantastic. Perfect lesson on how to have patience and work through the ugly stages. Thank you for sharing.

[@taigajournals]

Well said 🤗🙌 I think that is so important in art journaling 🤓 Layers on top of layers until it feels finished. Thank you so much! 🤩🌻🫶✨

[@YayaValder]

It's hard to trust the process at times, but sometimes you just need to remind yourself of that during the "ugly" phase.

[@zeldacheri]

Yes, I too often stop at the ugly stage, and the piece goes onto a pile of other ugly-stage work. It’s kind of depressing to see that pile, but I hope one day I will just decide “to heck with it!!” and attack those pages with devil-may-care enthusiasm ☺

[@taigajournals]

@@zeldacheri That’s the spirit! And after a while you might find something that with some work will turn into a little treasure from that pile 😊🩷✨

[@machelleshappyhobbies4977]

These are very beautiful. U am an artist too and I learned if you use a blow dryer to warm tape before removing it won't tear your paper. Love your art. Have a wonderful day.😊

[@taigajournals]

What a wonderful tip! I will use that in my next grid working 🙌 It is so annoying when the paper rips. Thank you very much! 🤩🧡✨

[@melanie990]

This is a fun way to make a bunch of postage stamps pics too! Try a hairdryer or heat gun next time when peeling the tape. It melts the glue and the tape peels right up. No residue, no ripping

[@taigajournals]

Great ideas! 🙌 Thank you for these marvellous tips! 🤩🌼🫶✨

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

If you warm up the tape with a hair dryer or heat gun, your tape won't tear the paper. Also,.if you can, get yourself a set of Winsor & Newton Professional paints because you will adore them! I love the Winsor & Newton Forman set I started with but I think the difference when I use the professional paints is enormous. The colours are way brighter and more pigmented. A wonderful artist like you deserves a really good quality set of paints. I loved your art in this video, you are very gifted. It's a great idea to separate the paper into four boxes, because you can create beautiful small paintings. Have a great week!

[@taigajournals]

Hi Carly! Thank you so much for your lovely words & for the wonderful tips ❤️ I did not have any clue of these Winsor & Newton Professional paints 😲 I went and tried to find them here from Finnish craft store web sites few minutes ago, to my surprise I couldn’t find them. Such a shame! I found my little W&N palette from my local store. I have to order that palette from abroad when I have the chance 🤩 Now I really want to try them 🙌 So a Big Thank You for letting me know that this kind of palette exists 🥰🎨🫶✨

[@LadyJaneG]

Adorable..would really like to try it. Have tried other grid journaling but not with watercolour. ❤

[@taigajournals]

Thank you so much Lady Jane ❤️ I have only done this with watercolours, it would be fun to try with something else, like acrylics 🤩🫶✨
