Hi and welcome ....
Here is a gallery space for art in all its forms .... posting a piece of your own work, perhaps in progress .... sharing a favourite artist .... just coming to browse occasionally .... a meeting of minds and experiences through creative expression.

Nope @outlander ..... what you have said is pretty much what I would have said ..... 👍
@Former-Member, it’s soooo goodthat you want to learn to paint. I want to learn to “art journal”, so I am just starting out with that ..... and I figure the best way to get into the groove of it is to copy other people who do it well.
Here is one I started on last night. Please don’t be put off by my level of drawing skill ..... I don’t ave stamps here, and the ones “back home” are not many, so I copied the stamps in one of Vick’y tutorial’s as an ink drawing on another piece of paper, then cut them out. I am working out next what I will colour them in with.
Here is a far more simple version that I would be using if I were just starting out with drawing .....
And it comes from here .....

Here is a simple idea @Former-Member. Paint a background page any colours you like. Work in stripes across or up and down the page, mixing a couple of colours with white, not being too fussy about the neatness of it because it all adds character. Then draw other images ..... here is an example .... on another piece of paper (copy something someone else has drawn, and don’t mind if it’s not perfect or doesn’t look a lot like theirs ..... it will still come up beautiful in the journaling style.
Cut them out and glue them on your painted page, then draw a line around the edge of each pasted on piece with a texta in another colour. Let it all dry (you can use a hairdryer to help it along if you’ve got one) ......
Then write solething on it with a black (or other colour if you like) texta, and draw a box around each word or phrase, like this .....
Then draw a border all around the page to frame your work ...... colouring it in with textas if you like .....
Sign the bottom corner somewhere.
When it’s all completely dry, go over the whole surface with a glue stick or PVA glue to protect the work, and let that dry.
