Art Journaling and Watercolor Tips

“Am I done?”  “How do I know if I am done?”  These are good questions that we all ask ourselves.  The answer is “Are you happy with your painting?”  Take a break, close your journal.  Later, take a fresh look at your painting and journal page.  Does it need a little something else?  Is it lacking a “je ne sais quoi?”  I have put together this page of Art Journaling Watercolor Tips from my past blog posts.  I hope this will help you along on your artistic journey!
