Expressive Art + Playing BIG!

[@nancyfern8044]

Very fun, Jackie! I've been waiting for you to paint a large canvas & yay, you did it. Appreciate your verbiage describing your free approach & just having fun without pressure to produce something fab right off the bat.

[@jackieschomburgart]

So glad I checked the big canvas off your wish list, Nancy! ✅🤗 Thanks for watching! ❤️❤️❤️

[@LMAbstractArt]

I really enjoyed this! Love watching you paint. Thank you for the inspiration!💜💜

[@jackieschomburgart]

I'm so glad! ❤️❤️❤️

I want your son to paint more in your painting. He is great!!🎉🎉

[@jackieschomburgart]

He is, isn’t he? 🤩❤️❤️❤️

Hi Jackie! Just wanted to let you know how thrilled I was to watch your son get his "Picasso" on!!! What a joy to watch him be so much braver than I am!! If it suits you, please leave his "rocketship" in there!!! (The cone shaped object a little to the left on the big canvass). How great is it to have your son's input on that piece!!! Have an awesome week!!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Aww, thank you! I am so proud of my kiddo’s willingness to “go for it” creatively! ❤️

Love it! I can't wait to see the next progress. (Realizing, as Jackie said, that large paintings use large amounts of paint) Was anyone else besides me crying out "Oh no! My precious!" when Jackie started applying the quin gold to the large canvas? That's my scarcity and sense of lack being triggered seeing a favorite paint that is hard to get actually being used! I hoard my little bottle of high flow quin gold weighing out the value of any project before I allow myself to use it. Thank you for this video...really inspiring.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thanks so much! (And I TOO get a bit triggered with thoughts of using lots of quin. gold! 😆 That’s why I fudged it using Golden’s substitution blend 😅 I’m not 100% sure of the two color names, but if I don’t respond with them shortly, remind me and I’ll pass them on!)

[@jackieschomburgart]

The colors I mixed to get my faux quin gold are: transparent red iron oxide and nickel azo yellow ❤️

[@elizabethoconnor5168]

I like the final paintings! That grey (sorta purple grey) is one of my favorite colors.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thanks Elizabeth! I love how that color showed up too! ❤️❤️❤️

[@dailydoseofpaper]

Big Mama is great! Your son definitely has your genes for bold strikes in just the right places! I often dream of going big (seems like a good work out too). Very inspiring, thank you!💖🍀

[@jackieschomburgart]

I’m so glad! ❤️ And yes, painting big is a bit like gentle full-body stretching 😆

[@CamLek-x8v]

So many inspiring thoughts after having watched this. 🤩 For the first time, I'm considering buying raw canvas and giving myself the opportunity to go BIG. It looks like so much fun!! Also, I loved the mid-tone tip and the argument for it. Thank you for being so generous with your process. I always love hearing your voice-over comments. Lots of love and light from me. ❤

[@jackieschomburgart]

Oh that's wonderful to hear - I'm so glad! Go for it!! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Jackie , I love crafting & junk journaling when im having a bad day.

100% - it’s so nice to create and be able to relax/play and end up with something at the end of it ❤️

So fun to watch/listen as usual. I'm a Brian Rutenburg fan as well! Thanks for sharing your art-making and encouragement.

I’m so glad, Laura ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for watching!

[@GrumpetteJV]

As per usual, I adore your video! I hope things are going better for you and your loved ones, and I wish you lots more happy painting! 🖤

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thanks so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@marjoart5193]

That was so fun to see and I think even more fun to do. It encourages me to try to make paintings to get rid of all the stress in my body instead of getting stressed in the process and getting rid of too high expectations that we often create ourselves. Your son's spontaneous help is so moving and cute at the same time. Perhaps we can learn more from the spontaneity of children than from any great artist. Mother and son, I love this!!. Well doen !!💕🤗

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thank you! ❤️ Oh yes, let's lower that bar of expectations to the FLOOR! ❤️❤️❤️ I loved seeing how loose and free he was with the paint too! ❤️

[@jackieschomburgart]

Right?! Mini-maestro in the making!

[@deannahall2032]

Thank God your son is home and healthy!! This video is fantastic and I am loving the works in progress, the large piece is so free and fabulous!! When your son came in to paint with you for a few minutes it immediately reminded me of an artist and video you should watch! His name is nino yuniardi and the video is called " Painting with the kiddo". All of his videos are fun to watch, too!! Thanks for sharing your process visually and with dialogue so we can track your feelings as you paint!

[@jackieschomburgart]

I LOVE Nino! Haven’t seen him work with his kids yet, though so I’ll take a look! ❤️❤️❤️

[@deannahall2032]

@@jackieschomburgart Yes, he is so much fun to watch, and always gets me loosened up! The video with his daughter is at the very end of his video list.

[@MariaRegan-rg9ib]

When I started painting on canvases that are 5ftx4ft, I almost couldn’t go back to painting small. It’s like the way I cook, I cook for an entire army or not at all. 😂

[@jackieschomburgart]

🤣🤣🤣 It’s definitely a different muscle!

[@candacenystrom8186]

Wow. This is so fantastic seeing this Extra Large canvas. FABULOUS Jackie ❤

[@gailierunninglynx7310]

Haha!! So cute when Axel came in and did his thing with abandon!! Then later their little heads pop in at the bottom of the screen!! 😂 This was GREAT Jackie!! Love how all these pieces are turning out!! I am seriously considering turning my livingroom into an extension of my studio like a loft in Paris or New York or somewhere! THEN I will be able to have a BIG WALL!! Yay!! Thank You!! ~❤~ 😊

I am LOVING this so much! I really like where you ended the video and all the changes to Big Mama! Can't wait to see where it goes! I also like Brian Rutenberg! I love his videos that start out "Hey, come here ..." then follow with the most wonderful descriptions of a specific color. Every one is a learning lesson. I do the same with my canvases - they usually get a coat or two of parchment (liquitex basics). It's a great color. Hope you have a great day. Linda Herron

Hey Jackie happy Sunday 🎉. Wow really like that huge size canvas. I loveeee the colors and your son came in and made it snap! Love what you did with the white and loved it also prior to adding white back in. Jackie did you add panels to your walls so that you could add the canvas? Always wondering what I should do. Those small panals are also AMAZING! Wowww❤

[@ruthgonzalez6547]

Jackie I am trying to make some videos. How do you connect when you’re talking to the camera at regular speed with time-lapse using a voice-over so it’s one video? Love your inspiration. Hope your son is doing well. Thanks.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Ruth, that’s wonderful! Yay, you!! I record voiceovers in iMovie after I do the timelapse video - that way the video is fast but my voice is real-time 🤗

@@jackieschomburgart thanks Jackie! I love watching your vids. You are just so cool and easy to “hang” with. Cheers!

[@sandeemilhouse555]

I apologize if I missed the explanation, but when you put the large canvas piece on the wall, did you secure it on every edge, only top and bottom or another way? I have been wanting to do something large for quite a while and I love the solution of doing it on the wall and on an unstretched canvas! I definitely have space constrictions (because I'm so messy). 🤭

[@jackieschomburgart]

I stapled it in on all sides but had to have my husband come and stretch it tighter at the end bc some parts were a bit rippled.

[@sandeemilhouse555]

⁠Thank you! Will miss having collage time tomorrow with our group!

[@jackieschomburgart]

@sandeemilhouse555 Me too!! ❤️

[@CrowMadame]

jackie, is your paint that you use (Nova) an open-type paint? I use Amsterdam paint from tubes and if i smear down a bunch of one color, when I go to use another to blend, the first color is already set, so i can't get a good blending like you did with the red and white to make pink.

[@jackieschomburgart]

It’s not intended to be an open paint, no. However, because I put it on fairly thickly, enough of it was still went that it stained the white paint and turned it pink :) You can also add paint “extenders” or even Golden’s Open medium to extend the drying time of any paint, if you’d like to

[@CrowMadame]

@@jackieschomburgart thanks, jackie. Very helpful info! And I'd buy you an italian beef were I in the Chicago area!

[@jackieschomburgart]

@@CrowMadame Hahaha! Thanks ❤️

[@RescueDogTeddy]

House paint can be used?? Wow, I’d always heard not to use that! Is it a matte?

[@jackieschomburgart]

I can’t guarantee it will survive on its own for 100s of years, but if it’s quality paint sealed in with a varnish it should be fine. I believe Bibby G (instagram.com/bibbygart ) almost exclusively uses Benjamin Moore house paint - which is the best quality paint I love using for my home too. Her art is in galleries all over 🤗

[@RescueDogTeddy]

Thank you for such an in-depth reply!!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Happy to help!

[@ruthgonzalez6547]

Yes, I understand that but in the beginning of your video, you are on camera talking in regular speed and then you segue to your speed up while you work on camera. I can do one and then the other but I don’t know how to connect them into one video.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Ahhhh, they are just two separate video files and I upload both into the same iMovie project. I can drag and drop them from there 🥰
