Back in May I started the Get Messy May journaling challenge and didn't get very far but I did do Kellee Wynne's grid journal class. I was smitten! And I've been making them ever since.
Initially, simple small ones.
When I took Kellee's free course Grid Journal Crush, I decided to dedicate my brand new big sketchbook to grid journaling and it's kinda been a game changer.
So what have I learned after making a grid per day for almost a month now?
- Even if the individual cells/squares don't quite work, the whole page/spread often does.
- Limiting your palette allows more freedom.
- Mark making is ALWAYS a Good Thing.
- Colour mixing is a whole OTHER ball game.
- Sometimes you make mud. Mud can be okay though.
- Burnt Sienna is my kryptonite.
- White Gesso is your friend.
- It's a sketchbook. Make the mistake!
- Add your notes because you won't remember what that colour was.
- Diggin' the Grid!
