Lots of great ideas to get you started!

I'm not ready yet! 

Not ready to have a full-fledged art journal yet?

Try starting out with doodles and fancy script. Or get a new journal and make each page's background beautiful with watercolors (solid, patterns, random... you decide!). Or go with digital art journaling, like the above pieces.

Art journaling isn't always going to be neat and tidy. It's not even always going to be in a book. Feel free to make art journal sculpture!

Getting Started - Art Supplies 

You don't need anything but your imagination to start an art journal.

But sometimes having supplies can make it easier on your imagination!

I recommend:

Sharpie Marker Sampler Set- 24 Markers in a Zip Up Case

They come in all colors. They are permanent. They don't run. Just an all-around useful marker.

Premiere Acrylic Set of 24

Bold swatches of color! Easier to use than oils, stronger statement than watercolors. Often easy to wash out of clothes. Skin safe.
