That’s so fun, Helen! I’m so happy you have that skill! XO – Amy
]]>Amy,
Ive been doodling for years and have filled many sketch books. I am not an artist so what ever comes out of the end of the pencil stays on the paper. Great for my hi anxiety life. For people who want to doodle but are afraid to get it wrong, just put that pencil.on a paper draw a line and you’re off. Have fun.
Helen your fellow doodler.
Meg, I’m so touched to hear that it’s helpful. Journal on~ Amy
]]>Hi Lou:
Oh I’m so sorry that things were not stated more clearly for you. I am teaching art here, so I have a lot of free content on my site and on Youtube, but I sell classes and e-books to make a living. I am not a non-profit. If you are looking for help with PTSD via art therapy, you might check out the American Art Therapy Association website to see if there’s an art therapist in your area on their Art Therapist locator.
I hope you find everything you need, and I wish all the best for you.
Amy

I’m so sorry that the sound is hard! I heard this from someone else too and am definitely going to change the recording on my next video. You can find a lot of what I’m talking about here: http://mindfulartstudio.com/simple-drawing-techniques-for-anxiety/ I hope this helps!
Cheers,
Amy
Hi Karen:
This is such a great question! In my book, any artistic journal classifies as an “art journal.” There are some who get a bit pickier and would classify what you are talking about as an artist’s notebook or an inspiration notebook. For me it’s all just a creative soup that feeds the soul. To me, the main point of art journaling is to play, experiment, and explore. it sounds like you are doing just that! I’d love to see any pages you’d wish to share! If you haven’t already, you might be interested in our private FB group, Creative Self-Care.
Happy Creating!
Amy
