Oh yea! Another INTJ in ART! I don't always trust what I read on the internet, but I did read that INTJs can struggle a bit with the "creative" side of art. When in art, we tend to be more technical....like architectural design, all axonometric, straight lined and technically perfect.QUOTE].

Paula's Under the Sea kit and her Fish Postcards I bought just because they spoke to me. The water theme for this challenge got me to pull them out and throw them onto paper. It really came together for me with the triangle template which I so appreciate. The aspect of art journalling I pulled from is that I loved doing this page. Here's mine:

I understand completely. I deal with logic in my job and when I come home to play, I find myself in the same boat. The best advice I can give you is just play. Throw paint on the background, if you decide to even use a background. Maybe pick your favorite items from a few random kits and limit yourself to those when you create your next work of art. Don't compare yourself against others. What you do is yourself shining through. I've had hot messes and I've had pieces I've been pleased with. Art is like life in that respect. Your main goal is to express yourself, experiment and have fun. I know that I'll challenge myself to not go with a pretty art doll, to make an art page without one. Some of them have been pretty interesting, not having something to automatically ground your page.

How can you retrain your brain? Gosh, just make it a point to do art every day. Enjoy the process.

Good answer- Good answer!!! LOL! The key to AJ (for many) is about feeling. When something catches your eye- a background, a graphic- or emotes something for you then, use it!
