This week I have another idea to help get you past your new art page blocks. It is a block colour method and it’s a great way to get you started on a page. Now if you remember back to last week… Eeek! I don’t mean last week because I skipped a week on my channel – sorry!
No I actually mean the week before, that circle glorious page in my junk journal and another way to get past issues that stop you starting.
Well this week the block colour actually led me to keep going blocky with open and closed block colour or rectangles. It makes a nice break from circles doesn’t it? But you could use circle block colour instead if you can’t break the circle!
Support my work on Patreon and get behind the scenes, chats and exclusive videos! (Not sure what Patreon is then watch this short video explainer!)

Have fun with your block colour, whether you use them as rectangles or as circles either way it’s a fun way to get started.
Want to play with some canvas? I have a couple of different canvas ideas you can try and I’ve put them in a video playlist on my channel.
You could even start off with this block colour technique. It would be a great way to start a canvas or canvas board piece!
Have fun creating.
