Unplug and Recover Now Art Journal Page
I love this quote; to me it means disconnect from everything and rest and then you will be able to start again refreshed.

Progress not Perfection Art Journal Page
This post is about week 1 of my upcoming course "Art Journal Quotes" which will take place in Flint library, North Wales. The page is made around the quote: "Progress not Perfection".

It is also very relevant to artists who can often feel their work isn't good enough.
