Incredibly amazing! All these layers had to be there over and over each other and the final result is absolutely gorgeous, a GREAT video! Thank you! 👌🏻🥰🪶

[@JessonArt]

Thank you so much 🌸🤗💗

[@anastasiarose9003]

Amazing how that last bit of pencil work and the dots really energizes the background. Thank you for sharing. I feel very inspired.

[@JessonArt]

Thank you so much 💗🤗🌸

[@TeaandLaceJournals]

Trust the process! I love watching yours!

[@annalukarsono9428]

Wasn’t sure at first with the colors running but then it turned into an amazing piece I just couldn’t take my eyes off of. Incredible!!

[@JessonArt]

Thank you so much 🌹

[@stephaniemoulds8307]

Wonderful!

[@julienolan5271]

That was a beautiful journey that brought me total relaxation and joy. Thank you

[@reneethompson6410]

This just blows me away! To watch the creativity flow through each application, each spray, each color chouce is just WOW! YOU'RE MAGICAL!

[@JessonArt]

Thank you so much 💗

[@dianeinmn]

Fabulous. I was worried about all the colors are first but.... WOW. Teaches me not be afraid to just go for it. Thank you.

[@JessonArt]

Thank you 🌹 best things about acrylics you can cover it up until you like it

[@pioneercynthia1]

That's exactly what I was thinking. Like, really? This is sooo not my vibe. But the more you did, the more I liked it. Then, You Put A Bird On It and I was utterly sold on this. (Also, the folk style and piano music you're using is wonderful. I usually turn off the sound, but this was lovely.)

[@mollyd3311]

I think this is my favourite so far, I've said that about every one I have watched😊 So talented ❤

[@JessonArt]

Thank you so much 🌸🤗it’s one of my favorites too ☺️

[@debbiereed8341]

Lovely page

[@nomadgigi4051]

Lovely to watch, beautiful result. Love all the layers.

[@JessonArt]

Thank you

[@terristephens9820]

Wow! This is beautiful, and it is inspiring!

[@nohjuan3048]

It's so good to see other journalers use chalk/pastels. I thought I was the only one! Thanks for showing us your process. It gives me so much confidence!

[@JessonArt]

Happy to hear 🤗thank you so much 💗

[@BarbaraGilbertdesigner]

Wow, I love this and can't wait to try it. So glad I found. you today, thanks or sharing!

[@kathybowen7263]

I just discovered your videos. I loved this page you did. I have always been afraid to do as many layers as you did. I am going to be fearless. I can’t wait to watch more of your videos!

[@JessonArt]

Thank you so much and welcome to my channel. Yes, be fearless you will discover so much, both good and bad. But you will grow and learn.

[@chrismajchrzak6332]

I am a beginner and this was an incredible demonstration! I loved all the layers and like others have said - I worried about all the colors but what an amazing outcome. Thank you for showing your process - I look forward to learning more from you!

[@JessonArt]

Thank you so much and welcome to my channel.

[@RockyRoadCreationsbyDiana]

Love, love love this.

[@midnitemoon577]

[@JessonArt]

Thank you so much 🤗💗

[@lindabuckner9006]

I’m a newbie and learned a great lesson today - you can never have too much! Love your method of teaching while doing with beautiful music!

[@JessonArt]

Thank you so much

[@daniellatersteeg4897]

nice relaxed music..... just watching. no thinking..... enjoyed this !!

[@JessonArt]

Thank you so much 💗

[@creativepassages]

That's gorgeous, and I loved watching the process! It was inspiring!

[@JessonArt]

Thank you

[@keep_it_real_1]

Yes, never be afraid, just go for it and sometimes the 'mistakes' can be the best result in the end..the sky is the limit xx

[@JessonArt]

Well said 🌹

[@kimjackman1722]

Wow! Can't believe i just now found you! In my eyes, this is a perfect collage. You have a wonderful background with lots of depth, then well placed & cohesive elements that make your eye travel, little details that add interest& draw you in, and a perfect focal point that stands out just enough but still "belongs" in his environment! So glad to see someone else that uses circles too, a lot of people could take notes from you! Its beautiful & well executed. Glad to see you are still creating videos, can't wait to watch more!

[@JessonArt]

Thank you so much 🤗🌸welcome to my channel

[@CRSDelta]

I was mesmerized. Beautiful!

[@JessonArt]

Thank you 🤗🙏🌸

[@christine0nowell757]

Simply beautiful ❤

[@yoshclements6951]

I just came across this video, read the title, and thought "courage", that's for ME! I haven't syste top watch except 30 seconds into it but jumped onto thr comments and after reading just a few, I thought, ok, this is for me to get started on dieting I've been meaning to do for quite some time. Thank you, I'm excited to watch it on my time alone. I've subscribed too 🙏😊

[@JessonArt]

Welcome to my channel. 🤗 I hope you get inspired to start for yourself 💗

[@xeniawillett9831]

I've been experiencing art block for some time, however this video has inspired me to start making art again. Thanks Jess keep up the good work.

[@JessonArt]

So happy to hear, hope your art block is over. 😊I’m having one too at the moment. 😔

[@PrettyShabbyUk]

This truly is a beautiful piece of art, it should be on a wall in full view. You are so very talented

[@JessonArt]

Thank you so much 💗🤗🌸

[@elainebates6967]

I don't know why, but I thought it was all too much. But than I realized I was getting lost in relaxing in the moment if I was doing exactly what you were doing. Fantastic and so wonderfully inspiring, thank you. Lots of Love and happiness.

[@JessonArt]

Thank you so much 💗🌸

[@Laavarts]

Absolutely amazing... 💯 💯 💯

[@JessonArt]

Thank you

[@judybausch2845]

So relaxing and such fun to watch! Beautiful art!

[@JessonArt]

Thank you 💗

[@marlenejones6266]

No way could I even attempt this with my inability to make anything loose in watercolor. But this is to me just one big mess. To those of you who love it you get it. I do not. So I'm not wrong and neither are you. We are just different in our minds when it comes to art. I am not trying to be rude or offend anyone. I imagine this is beauty to many. And this is what makes the art world so fabulous. So many many different approaches to using color as the expression of art in each separate individual. Good luck. Keep expressing yourself. Ahem. Ok I wrote all of the above at halfway through this video. I have completed watching it now. And now I get it too. Once the dots were in the painting with the bird and the text it made sense. Wait can making sense be something one says when speaking of this painting? It makes no sense in reality. But it's art. Art cannot be explained. It's something that thrills us, defines us, makes us look inspired, stupid, remarkable or any adjective used to review the feelings we are having about a piece of art. This is not stupid as I first thought, nor is it ugly as I first thought, but it it's inspiring and remarkable. And now I get it. And I like it very much. And no I'm not a damn art critic. Not even a very good Painter. But sometimes we all have to say what's on our mind about a piece. I ask forgiveness for saying this was a huge mess. Thank you for hearing my long drawn out feelings about this. Goodnight.

[@JessonArt]

But it was a huge mess in the middle and that’s ok. Art is never about the finished piece, it’s about the process. It’s ok to dislike or like something. Thank you 🙏 🌸

[@heatherveronica2597]

Wowie wow! So much inspiration here! You’ve got the cogs and gears all turning inside my artsy fartsy brain and I am so ready to play! Thanks very much for sharing what turned into such a beautiful and genuinely inspiring piece of art ♥️♥️♥️

[@JessonArt]

Thank you so much 💗 I’m glad I have inspired you.

[@janillingsworth7478]

[@robinmccorry5795]

As always, you inspire me with your use of shapes and colors. Pulling out my mixed media journal, cutting out a few circles, and pouring a cup of tea. Who knows where that will lead me…. Thank you!

[@umaraghavendran1347]

Fabulous! You are truly gifted ❤

Thank you

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Just found you and I so admire your work. I'm a collage artist and would love to try this style of art journaling but I'm scared to death. I have all the suplies and they sit there staring at me 😂 Your work is incredible and maybe some day I'll find the courage to try this style. ❤

[@JessonArt]

Thank you 🌸🤗 just start, it gets easier and don’t pressure yourself. Most likely you won’t love your work in the beginning but you will learn new skills. That’s how I started too. Go for it!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

@@JessonArt Thank you for the encouraging words. I created my first mixed media collage today and it will be going up shortly. The verdict is still out as to whether or not I'm happy with it. I'll improve, I'm sure. Practice and patience. 🥴Let the people speak !! 🤣

[@lallison1313]
