Keep an art journal

and then my inspiration fades. I think I’m putting too many limits on myself. It doesn’t have to be perfect; art can have flaws and it’s probably more honest that way. I really want to start on this soon. I bought this book last night and I am inspired yet again to try this. I hope I can keep it up this time around.

Going out tonight to buy a blank sketchbook. I’ve always wanted to keep an art journal, but I’ve never been a very ‘artistic’ person. I’ve always considered myself to be a writer. I write in my journals, my short stories, my poetry. In highschool, I was introduced to painting and while I was never particularly good at it, I had a passion for it. Last night I went out and bought some acrylic paints and began experimenting. I’ve been keeping a writing journal for several months now and I’m finding that I feel so drained after writing lately. I don’t want to stop writing as it is my number one passion, but I love being able to find new ways to express myself, especially if I’m having fun while doing it.
