First, I looked online for some sources, searching under "art and drawing prompts" to get me back into the flow of creating, and I found this:
I'm pretty excited, in particular, with this course for beginning. I put together my beginning kit:

Derwent watercolor pencils
Couple tubes of Liquitex heavy body
spray bottle
glue stick
W&N water colour markers
scissors, xacto knife, razor
several water brush pens
metal French curve, eraser shield, flexible ruler (from my math teaching days)
prismacolor colored pencils
yes - that is a W&N cotman mini kit.

My journal is a hard-backed watercolor journal, 400 series by Strathmore.
#1 is a doodle on a napkin. I doodled a self-portrait.

#2 is self explanatory. I used a combination of Derwent wc pencils, W&N wc markers, and a brush pen. After it dried, I used colors from my Cotman field box and a toothbrush.

#3 was perhaps the one I most looked forward to doing. In this exercise involved "SECRET". I chose to take pictures of my secret, cut them up, make a collage, and paint over them with some Liquitex heavy body paint. I used titanium white, mixing white, umber, and hunter's green.
I'm looking forward to exploring this site and all it has to offer. I've never been a mixed-media person and have always envied people who were. As time goes buy I hope to become more comfortable in creating this type of art.
