But there are some great journals made by Strathmore and Dick Blick has incredible prices, you can get things for way below what they are at any other big box stores. I just think if anyone is going to do artwork, they should always use good quality materials, no matter what the intent of the project is. You never know when you are going to create something really wonderful and wish that is was on better paper. It is just kind of sad to see people using low quality supplies when better ones are not that much more expensive. I used to teach quilt classes and the horrible fabric people would bring in to class was surprising, then they wondered why they had so much trouble sewing it and also wondered why their project was not turning out very well. It all comes down to quality. <br /><br />I also do art each and every day, I work in a Fabriano Classic Artist Journal and have gone through several over the years. The paper is not that thick but it does hold up fairly well even to a bit of watercolor. Sometimes I use Inktense pencils or Neocolor water soluble crayons and find that buckling is at a minimum if I don't use too much water on the paper.

I...Thank you Anonymous but let me make it clear. I'm doing a 30 day journal project called Roots by Lisa Sonora Beam. My intention is in journaling and doing art each day based on her prompts. This is a project where I'm just focusing on creating a discipline in art journaling and at the same time enjoying it. I chose a Moleskin notebook to do this and my focus is only on the quotes that she gives and what it means to <br />me-:) <br />Of course I do art that takes quality paper and lot of time and I do post them here. But The Roots is just for me to grow and enjoy. Thank you so much and I hope you will be back to see both the kinds of work that I post here.

It is so much better to work on than that nasty old lined paper...plus the lined paper is wood-pulp based and thus not archival. If you are going to go to this much work, why paint on crappy paper?<br />Just saying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141042391334253351.post-25798548507924594422014-08-10T12:58:16.913-07:002014-08-10T12:58:16.913-07:00Lovely journal pages!
