Flower for Your Art Journal – Step by Step Video

Let’s pick watercolors and colored pencils and make a flower for your art journal! Scroll down to watch a step-by-step video!

This flower can be a rose or a peony or any round and layered species. For me, it’s not so important which flower it is, but what kind of personality it expresses. Here I aimed for a soft but unapologetic character. Every flower you create will become a bit different, and soon you’ll have a collection!

The instructions for the flower and all the inspiration for using it on a page is in the video below! We’ll start with watercolors to make the foundation for the layered look and then add more sharpness with colored pencils. Some patience is required because you need to let the watercolors dry between the first steps.

In the video, I encourage you to adjust the center of the flower, the flower’s sould. Find a look and personality that appeals to you!

Including the Flower in Art Journal

In the video, I also show how you can use the flower with almost any background and make a spread for the flower in the spirit of Freely Grown.

I hope this week’s video and the last week’s blog post about picture prompts inspire you to art journal and create art in general!
