Art Journal Round Robin

Today I wanted to share a fun project I did with some brave and creative women when I was at Kept Creations in Whitman, Mass last Saturday. I call this Round Robin Art Journal Page -- and it is a TON of fun. Great for anyone whether they can draw or not.

We started out drawing on a piece of 9 x 12 Mixed Media Paper from Strathmore. We each drew on our own page for 3 minutes -- which was a VERY long time. When the timer went off we sent our page off to the rest of the group and then drew for 1 minute on each of the pages as they came around.


I think we had 6 or 7 people in the Round Robin -- plenty of people to fill up EVERY page with unique, creative and beautiful shapes and images.

This week I had time to add some color to mine using the Sakura Gelly Pens.

The only problem with them -- not enough colors  :-D

I absolutely love the opaqueness of them!


And finally here it is without the quote I decided on:

The next time you gather with a group of art journalers or friends -- consider spending 15 minutes on a round robin!

Thanks for stopping by -- have a great weekend and HAPPY Mother's Day!

  1. Absolute fun idea!!! Might be fun to have a round robin scrap meet. Allow 15 minutes per round robin (time might be better determined depending on how many attendees participate) and the hostess gives a prompt on what to draw, then after the allotted time is up, artist pass their page. You could have prompts like "Draw a Birdie" or "Draw 5 Circles with Polka Dots". This would be a good way for budding artist to practice and also learn from other artist techniques....sounds kinda fun to me :) Happy Mother's Day, everyone!
