My First Strathmore Watercolor Journal

This is my first 400 Series watercolor journal by Strathmore.  I had heard negative reviews about it and was hesitant to start using it.  As well, it was quite expensive for me and I didn't want to ruin it.  But when I came to the end of my previous journal I decided to start using this one.  I'm going to share the contents of it right here.  I am over half way through it by now so I'll be adding content to this post as I go.  Anyway I rather like this journal and would definitely buy it again.


I hope you enjoy not only the artwork but also the progress.
October 1st has a homemade cookie listed for the art prompt with Doodlewash at World Watercolor Group.  Unfortunately it took two days to complete as I have so very much going on.

Sept 30th, 2016  Two different paints.  The top one is done with Simply Art by Loew-Cornell and is from Joan Fabrics.  The second one is painted with my Sennelier paints.  It took several days to complete, painting a little here and a little there.  Adding paint and shadows and inking.  I am following an art class that I am taking at blue chair diary illustration with Alexandra MacVean.
