I really resonate with what you said at the end. My word of the year is literally 'Become' because I spend a lot of time making plans and daydreaming about all the things I would like to accomplish creatively - instead of actually doing them! At the beginning of this year, I finally started drawing/doodling more because I've always wanted to learn to draw. It feels overwhelming as a beginner, being surrounded by more experienced artists online. But we all have to start somewhere! Really enjoying these recent videos! They're very inspiring, so thanks for sharing! 😊

This is so colourful and turned out beautifully ❤ Please continue to encourage us all to tell our own story in our own art - it makes it so unique and tells a lovely story of your perspective ❤

A beautiful place for a walk with your kids and to remember in your journal. The drawings/paintings are a fun and artistic addition on your pages. I can tell you are enjoying it!!

I love how these pages turned out. I think they are fun and so pleasing to look at and especially over time it will be nice to go back and look at them and remember that day!

I love how that turned out. The painting and doodling definitely elevates your entry

Johanna, I really enjoy journaling with you. I didn't do any journaling, but I enjoyed how you take us with you and your family on your adventures. I like your style of printing and painting your pictures. Beautiful ending. Thank you for sharing.🦈⛵👍

I love your painting in your journal, it adds so much personality.❤

I love how you are incorporating paintings into your journal! Makes them even more special!

I've really enjoyed your pages where you're adding your own art work!

This is a very special page, quite different to your usual ones. I have always loved your journal pages, but the art takes it to another level.

Love watching your journal entries where you paint and draw.❤

I love that you're adding art back into your journaling. I first found you when you were doing mixed media.

The painting turned out amazing. You did a wonderful job. Gorgeous layout ❤

I write down things I want to do. Then I break them down even more. I write them down on simple lists. I usually write these simple lists in the morning. They are actually mixed into my house cleaning or things to do. I don’t write them into a planner because I don’t want to see all the things I didn’t do what I wrote. Love your drawing and journal entry.

Great "journal with me" video, Johanna. Love watching you create and paint and put a page together. Thank you and take care.

I’m really enjoying your painting! That water is tricky! It almost looks like a gradient from darker blue to lighter blue as it progresses to the sand with darker blue rivets throughout. Then I noticed it just looked straight up green by the tree line 😮‍💨. Keep painting!!

That turned out beautifully. Love the idea of including your drawing and painting.

I love this page! And I think your painting and drawing is amazing. We are always our ownharshest critics. I give you so much credit for getting in there and doing it. You’ve inspired me to do more drawing and painting in my own journal.

I love this! Watching your paintings come alive is so much fun and these journals will be such a treasure to look back on! I need to incorporate more of my plans and dreams I my journals.

Absolutely love how that spread turned out!

Your painting is really good makes the page really stand out... you inspire me ❤

my jaw dropped at the completed spread! your painting was incredible! 😍

Love how your painting brings the page to life! Your voice reminds me of my favorite singer Olivia Newton-John…❤

I absolutely love how this turned out! And I love the painting!

I love this spread! I think your painting is great. It reminds me a little of Grandma Moses paintings. She had a primitive but charming style. I hope you post more videos of your painting progress.

Hey Johanna. I really enjoy that you have been tryin to include more painting in your journaling. I know you feel you have room for improvement, as we a feel, but I just wanted to say thank you for the effort to include it more and the explanation as to what you are doing. It has ready helped me in not holding back. I would have a bold idea of what I wanted to create and feel I wasn’t good enough. I know now I can do a rough idea and fill it in, knowing it doesn’t have to be perfect, but if it is colorful and happy, I’m good. Your work is next level, though. Thank you for your positive videos.

Hello from Brazil, Johanna! Watching this video today was a massive joy💗

I'm getting a photo printer like that. Those photos have a vintage look and I love it . No way I can draw, though I wish I could. My stick people look funky even 😂❤

Johanna, love your painting. I think it turned out fabulous! Your children are so cute. And that blue sky! Beautiful spread. Love your style! TFS!❤

Your painting turned out beautiful. I think you did really well with the water. Great journal session as always!

The painting and drawing gives always that little bit of extra on a page. Love the colors on your spread❤

Dein gemaltes Bild macht aus dem Photo etwas ganz Eigenes und Besonderes. Es passt so gut zu deinem Stil und könnte auch in einem Kinderbilderbuch zu finden sein! Ich kann das Gefühl der Freude beim späteren Betrachten der selbst gestalteten Seiten zu hundert Prozent nachempfinden. Sie sind dann etwas außerhalb von mir geworden, das mir immer wieder gefällt zu betrachten und manchmal wundere ich mich, wie ich das hinbekommen habe. Die Zweifel beim Gestalten sind fast immer komplett verschwunden. Thank you so much for sharing your process.

I love the way your page turned out. I always write in my journals also so I really enjoy seeing the way you fit it in. Thank you

I think if you'd gone onto another page the effect would not be so vibrant and appealing. Totally awesome work! Btw, I drool over the artwork in the children's dictionary every time you dig it out ❤🎉

Love this I’ve never thought of painting in my junk journal and I might try it sometime

I love painting as well but have been neglecting that area . Watching you paint in your journal has inspired me to do the same!! Your journal page came out so lovely 🦋💖thank you!

This is so fun, the photo idea is brilliant ☺☺☺

These two pages are delightful. Cheery looking. Nicely done. Carol from California

So therapeutic to watch you!! thank you for sharing the process.

Love the painting! You should be proud!

Am LOVING this current journal you are working in. I'm so happy you are incorporating art into it, it's encouraging and inspiring. Bless you x

I love your spread, I think your drawing makes the page

Wow, I love how you stayed in the same colors for the page and how that connected everything together. Also the way you shade with the pencils just looks incredible:). And I love how you created the look of rocks under water with the highlights on top of them. A little tip for the water: Try to do as many horizontal lines as possible. The highlights that are in the back are thinner and smaller than the ones in the front (like you did:) ). If you give the water a little bit more of the colors of the background, it will look more like water, too. The water in your picture is as blue because of the deep blue sky. So when you're painting the sky lighter, the water would be lighter, too. I recommend to avoid coast lines that go directly to the viewer's eye. For example try a curved but still very horizontal line that goes back to the left if you're going for a lake kinda shape or just continue to the right if you're painting a river (fading the shade kind of out into a horizontal line). One last thing for when you're finished: I always paint very thin, horizontal lines on the side of the water to the coast line - also where little rocks are looking out of the water. That's where the water breaks, even if it's a calm water without any waves. I love your videos, you inspire me so much for my own journaling. Painting in journals is just the best.

That is a lot of info for a beginning artist! I mean if I were to comment on anything it would be the perspective of the fence, it should look smaller towards the distance. But at the end of the day her picture looks lovely, the colours are cohesive with the rest of the spread, and it’s clear she has artistic talent. So she should be proud of it exactly the way it is!

There is a whole another world of creativity and imagination in your head, Johanna, and we are privileged to be let in.

Love your painting.

Really enjoying your painting.

Love your painting!

Love this! It turned out great and I really enjoyed listening to your thought process. Thank you so much for sharing!
