Imposter syndrome is very real.
I have a confession to make: When I made this book I didn’t love it. Some parts of some pages made me happy, but as a whole I wasn’t especially excited about it.
I recorded much of the process of making the pages, and while I edited the videos I wasn’t at all sure what I was trying to achieve by sharing them.
So much so, I left this project unfinished for over TWO years!
But letting time pass lets us see things through fresh eyes. I still don’t love every single bit, but that’s not so important to me now.
Why I am I telling you all this?
Because maybe there’s a project you’ve let sit because you weren’t sure what direction it needed to go in next.
Because maybe you look at other peoples art and think ‘it’s different for them, they know what they’re doing, they have a plan…’ when in reality we are all winging it.
These pages belong to a book I made from scratch.
They’re filled with messy paint, scribbles and experiments, vulnerability and love. I made this book for YOU.
There’s a full length flip through in my Youtube, and you can find out how I did it all in my ebook *Art Journal Serendipity*. All you need do is sign up for my newsletter by 27 December and it’s all yours!

“In reality, we are all winging it.” Oh, absolutely. As I age I realize that life is too short to not just go ahead and make and share. And I remind myself that in art there is no wrong. It doesn’t have to appeal to everyone (or anyone) but it’s ours, it’s who we are and what we have to do. Our art will most definitely change over time as we practice, and who knows where those changes will take us.

Such truth, Robin!
And what a time to be alive, when it’s so easy to find like minded folk, to share, to learn together, and find inspiration. What a trip! 🙂
