I’m struggling to get started. I need more collage pieces so I’ve been painting patterns on paper. I’m the lady with the broken foot getting around on my non motorized scooter. I need at least one hand to steer. I want so badly to create and I’m not going to be able to wait until I’m up and running. Saw my doc and he said 4 more weeks but probably much longer. Oh well, life’s challenges. We all have them. Thank you Jackie for being here.❤

I absolutely love these. Those colours are awesome together. I love watching and seeing how the art grows and grows. It's a bit like a flower. It starts with a shoot and bit of green but then after some growth the bud starts to form and then the flower gradually emerges. I loved the reveal of the edge tape being removed. It's amazing what a difference it makes. As I was watching this video I thinking about my approach and thoughts about that first layer being covered. I suppose if there are any collage pieces you really like, just don't use them as base layers, add them later. I have learnt to listen to the art and not my head. When my head thinks it knows better my art piece usually veers off course. It's hard to explain but the art tells me what it wants to be. Your videos really excite me to create. 💜💜💜

Love your work. I also use a limited color palette- and I think many of the same colors. But I also have very limited space. So I tend to do one or the other: paint or collage. Or draw - with pencil, pen & ink. Currently my daily practice is collage. Which sometimes means days of making collage papers. On those days I often do monotypes. I too remind myself “it’s only paint” or “it’s only paper”. I find that many a painting or drawing that doesn’t quite make it becomes excellent collage material. Thank you for sharing your work!

Very late to this video but it is helpful. Yes I always struggle, mainly with this embedded or even conditioned thing that there has to be a preconceived ‘picture’ as a start point. So I really value what I am leaning from you about spontaneity and the destruction of the preconceptions is also part of the process. I also have a sort of rush to completion thing, I swear this comes from art education! It is a big conundrum for me because I am now in later years and realise that I need to escape from a lot of the things I never really thought much about before because I found and still find I am not that interested in the thought out stuff. I really like your pages especially, once you detaped them. Watching your process was good too. I think I will tape something saying ‘It’s just paint’ somewhere to remind me!

I wanted others to approve my finish line 😆 I’ve spent more than a few years trying to be perfect and never make mistakes or (GASP!) ugly art! I found that making process art (focusing on the process of art making instead of the final result) has freed me up to PLAY with my art and reconnect with my inner voice. Win-win!

Hi Jackie, such great videos! Thank you. I have so many questions but I guess basically I get stuck as soon as I find something I like. I typically use a rich color pallet because I live in Mexico and color use is more vibrant here. Always when I go,for the “white or neutral part” I get stuck on how to mix it. I guess I should use all the colors in the painting then tint it with white until I’m happy? It happens every time. Here is an example of one I’m working on. I’m thinking of going right to collage now but would love your thoughts. Guess I can’t include an attachment sorry.

Gloss medium sometimes doesn’t provide enuf grip for grungy rendering on top. A regular binder or gesso is better. Depending on the collage substrate, a glue stick sometimes works well becos it is less wet and doesn’t buckle. And that I often finish with a sealant varnish, there is no lifting of collage pieces.

I definitely stop when it starts to look pretty; as you say, because I don't want to mess it up. I find it very difficult to keep going.

It take a lot of practice in letting go to paint over existing layers - I'm still practicing! It's definitely challenging to cover over something. I find that if I know a painting isn't finished and I'm not willing to paint over it, it just sits unfinished for years. So I'm finally painting over older unfinished work to resolve it and it's been successful. Plus, if I paint over it and it looks terrible, it's MUCH easier to paint over something I don't like, so it still works out well in the end :) You'll get there when you're ready - no need to rush it. Just keep painting and it will work itself out!

Love this! And I'm a newby so stupid questions ahead. This was a lot of effort. What do you do with these pages when done? Also, do you use the same methods on canvas?

@jackieschomburgart

Жыл бұрын

Hi Andrea! It was many steps but I don’t remember it feeling effortful. it took time, but I was experimenting and playing around as I made each new layer and shape so it felt fun 🤗 I do use the same methods on canvas - some of the marks end up looking differently on canvas due to the different texture but the same actions can be used on both canvas and paper. I have the painting on the KZread thumbnail framed on my wall at the moment - both paintings were at my local art league in an abstract-art show early this summer. I’m happy with how these two turned out so I kept them. Other times I’ll use less successful paintings for collage paper or cut them into smaller paintings and add on to them. I’ve also put many pages together and bound them into an art journal. No worries about stupid questions - The best way to learn is to ask questions to the people who know the answers you are looking for. You’re doing exactly the right thing - welcome ❤️

@jackieschomburgart

Жыл бұрын

Often times there is something that I really like about a painting, but it doesn’t feel resolved overall. Those are the times that feel tricky to me because it’s a risk to continue, knowing that you might have to cover over the part you love to ensure that the entire painting feels resolved/complete. However, if you DON’T take the risk, the painting remains unresolved indefinitely, so in order to ever finish it, the risk has to be taken…. It’s a practice of making brave choices. For me it took a lot of practice to keep going ❤️

This is a great question. Are you interested in abstract art? I'f so, I'd play around with a large piece of paper. Tape it so that it is separated into 6 or 8 parts of approx. the same size and paint and draw over it with big, loose strokes. Try to pretend it's not taped off. Once you have several colors and/or types of materials (crayon, paint, graphite, pastels, etc.), pull off the tape and cut along the tape lines so that you now have 6-8 semi-randomly marked paintings to react to. This helps keep me loose and it takes some pressure off of trying to create interesting marks - they just happen. You can see me do this in a few videos, including these: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d6NrrZtxqc6wd8o.htmlsi=8LvVn0MEC_v6dEsj kzread.info/dash/bejne/dqyTwdinqtqumrA.htmlsi=B106rJiFazASsbRw kzread.info/dash/bejne/mq6jlbagfLytZ6g.htmlsi=3VV27IaM9MJ2WB3s kzread.info/dash/bejne/qoaivKerY66Yh6g.htmlsi=WyQ0ZfwS0RXcGeaH Hope that helps!
