Initially, he used the blank pages of his sketchbook just to wipe off the excess paint on his brushes. He didn't apply the paint in a specific way, but just rubbed the color onto the paper at random. Much later, he went back and applied the linear, weblike drawings on top. <br /><br />So, what I'm curious about would be to do something similar with an art journal in terms of his process: taking watercolor and just applying colors/forms that appeal to you at random and not making a painting, but making colorful marks in space almost at random. Then later, using that as a point of departure to let the page evolve by layering other images or ideas on it. I'm attracted to the idea of incorporating an artist's process into an art journal.<br /><br />Here is a nice image/description of one of Miro's Constellations: http://www.moma.org/collection/object.php?object_id=33050Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582252111542224269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17426446.post-5767975760838407442011-02-04T14:25:48.645-05:002011-02-04T14:25:48.645-05:00Kimberly,

I'm also going to add things that gives me a bountiful of inspiration. Using my digital camera a little more often to capture sparkles of inspiration as well. I guess if had anything I wanted to hear in your podcast, it would be dealing with obstacles that can intefere with creativity and getting in the way of life in general.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17426446.post-35529961988592827832011-02-03T23:34:08.233-05:002011-02-03T23:34:08.233-05:00This video couldn't have been posted at a bett...This video couldn't have been posted at a better time.

I loved the banter and actually learned a lot from your mother's takeaways and journal.<br /><br />My idea for Tranquility du Jour is to try an online book club. Something light and fun, nothing intense or complicated. Or having said that, how about a Tranquility du Jour message board, so your online community can connect with each other. I thought I remember you having this some time back, but one where your fans could post interesting links and whatnots, like the "Word of the Year" handout, etc.<br /><br />Love you, Kimberly!!<br />xoxo, CarrieCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435287280222469342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17426446.post-70630604264009275142011-02-02T20:56:27.467-05:002011-02-02T20:56:27.467-05:00Hi Kimberly!

For my TDJ tip... I keep a small notebook, a hot pink moleskin, in my bag. I jot down thoughts, ideas, phone numbers, whatever. I created a pocket in the front with a piece of cardstock so that I can stash potential supplies for my art journal. It's perfect for ticket stubs, receipts, slips of paper, a leaf found on the sidewalk, whatever.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002665369202973793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17426446.post-30017533595843692222011-02-02T01:39:45.131-05:002011-02-02T01:39:45.131-05:00Hi Kimberly.

I love how you do your own thing and are such an individual. I hope you continue doing these podcasts for a really long time!<br /><br />I'd like to see more videos that are like your favorite things post. Maybe even a what's in my makeup bag/what's in my purse type thing. Or even if you just posted on your favorite books and read some from them. I always like hearing about new things to read, watch and wear so I think more of that sort of thing would be great!<br /><br />Namaste.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780560728279104234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17426446.post-301730914771584152011-02-01T21:22:59.423-05:002011-02-01T21:22:59.423-05:00Bon Jour!

I've noticed a focus lately on your own journey, with lots of practical, doable, helpful tips along the way. I love it and would like more of that - the video snippets of art journaling, style tips, quick smoothie recipes, things you love. It gives everything such a personal feel that people can relate to. I am still at the beginner yoga stage, and have recently become a stay at home mom to two little ones, but I still want to have style and have flair in the small ways I can. I think you said you read Alexandra Stoddard, and I always loved her "Grace Notes" at the end of her chapters. So I eagerly look forward to your advice - those small steps I can take while life is crazy right now, toward "living yoga off the mat". I guess what I like best is seeing the glimpses into your life and how you do it. Thanks a bunch for sharing so much! You always inspire and my daily visit to your blog never fails to cheer me up.lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00417476427678912479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17426446.post-89927934360364117122011-02-01T20:00:12.807-05:002011-02-01T20:00:12.807-05:00Kimberly, where do you get your hats?

(Hair, Jewlery, Belts) I made a scarf on my blog after I listened to your podcast on Parisian style. I am inspired, but I would like to be able to make some stuff so that it truly has my signature style. What to do?

No, I am not sucking up...just is.<br /><br />When I watch your videos, I always feel relaxed--as if I am joining you for a cup of tea or glass of wine in front of the crackling fire, chatting about all things creative and happy. To mix things up a bit you could replace the chitchat with a guided 5ish minute meditation or visualization...after which we'd art journal, etc on our own to capture what came up thru your prompts. Maybe you could do a petal (taken from your teleclasses) a day for seven days so at the end of the week we'd have a bouquet.
