Autumn Journal Page

Hello friends & creatives! I am getting back into a little bit of a routine here and trying to paint a bit more. I created this page first by just sketching the outline of the face. I meant to take some work in progress photos but didn't. I will have some on the next journal page, but I did take a few different shots of this one to share with you.


There are many things about Autumn I love. The late afternoon breeze bringing the fog in, the leaves blowing, the changing colors and the clouds in the sky.



I layered pressed dried leaves and dictionary pages around my pages


I made sure to give lots of detailing to her face and lips. Some bold, some subtle



Wonky camera angle but wanted to show a face close up





I wanted my page to have the feel of Autumn winds blowing and  beautiful colors ~

Sorry I have not been on a regular posting routine. I could explain all the details but don't want to bore you. I will have more journal art and more to share with you soon. I hope you are enjoying the beginnings of Autumn.

What is your favorite part of Autumn? What have you been working on journals, art, photography? Let me know, I'd love to see! 


Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. George Elliot

  1. Hi Theresa;
    I am actually enjoying autumn this year, usually I dread the very idea of it because that means snow is coming really soon... however, we had a fabulous summer with a lot of sunshine and still have great weather this week so I am looking forward to seeing the leaves change color this year.
    Love your autumn page.
    Hugs and many blessings
