13 Paintings in 20 minutes! Mixed Media Warm Up Exercise

In this video I demonstrate a simple, creative practice that will help you get out of your head so you can simply play. This results in unexpected, spontaneous marks and it's FUN! This exercise can be used on its own as a painting warm up, a way to try out new art tools or materials, as an art journal page, and/or as a painting starter.
Materials used: large sheet of mixed media or watercolor paper, acrylic paint, low-tack masking tape, Caran d'Ache Neocolor crayons, graphite, pencils, anything you normally use to make marks.

Lovely FUN--Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jenniferglover6417]

I LOVED this! Even if it wasn't "classic" Jackie looking...it still had your vibe even prior to the red! I really liked these combos more than I was anticipating at the start!! Just really crisp, some almost minimal, but not...they just were not crowded or cluttered looking. Really liked them!!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

Love this, Jackie. Like the grid journaling, but this seems even more spontaneous. Love it.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Yes - even more freedom than the grid! ❤️

[@n.c.467]

Thanks for another fun video, Jackie! Really love the concept of taking an hour to immerse myself in a simple mini project...keeping those creative juices flowing, even when other tasks are on my schedule!

[@jackieschomburgart]

You are so welcome! I often make things out to be more complicated than they actually have to be. This is a reminder to all of us (especially to myself! 🙃) that art making can be quite simple ❤️

This was an extremely interesting video. I love the process. That red is wonderful -- not too bright, not too orange, not too neon! The pieces are really striking. I have enjoyed very much watching these art pieces come together! WELL DONE! Thank you for sharing with us!

I enjoy your Sunday videos. Always creative, inspirational, and caring. Thanks so much🌹

[@jackieschomburgart]

I'm so glad! Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Mchelle021]

Wow, that was very enjoyable to witness! Glad I found your channel, Jackie. My passion is portraiture that leans toward realism pretty strongly and I am finding a definite need to alternate with loose and creative expression, which doesn't come as easily. You have great teaching examples that are inspiring.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Oh this is so great to hear - I’m so glad you’re finding value in my videos, Michelle! ❤️❤️❤️

[@dianekhamilton]

Love this! But genuine question: now what will you do with them? I always get stuck here….

[@jackieschomburgart]

Short answer? Anything I want to 🤣 I often mail them in cards, make cards out of them, frame them and sell at affordable price points. You could even punch holes in the corners, string them up on a ribbon and make a pennant banner as a room decoration. Frame a set of 3 or 4 and hang them in your hallway, entryway, or bathroom. The sky’s the limit ☺️❤️

[@AriefortheLaugh]

Thanks

[@Lukisandijlrayaandongubud]

Awesome!!! This is what I needed when I stuck what to fill the canvas! You are amazing 🙏

[@AliceDel]

very cool! i don't do purely abstract art, but often, as soon as i start watching your videos, i press pause and go to my studio to paint or do collage. you're always inspiring me to create! thank you. (later i go back and watch the rest of your videos. the close-ups at the end were fantastic). :)

[@jackieschomburgart]

I love this so much - thanks for sharing it with me! ❤️❤️❤️

[@RescueDogTeddy]

I was worried when you applied the Neo 2! lol I understand now because I also don’t have that beautiful aqua color in the Neo 1s. I appreciate that you showed how to properly seal.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Sometimes you’ve gotta just make it work 😆❤️❤️❤️

[@miekemiddelhuis3782]

Beautiful colors, I love the little glaze at the end. Thanks Jackie!

Great warm up exercise! Thanks so much for the inspiration.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️

[@PaulWalesArt]

It's incredibly difficult to comment on your videos without starting with an "OMG!" or something similar. You are without a doubt the MASTER of small art (amongst other things). These are brilliant and beautiful. I suspect many viewers will not comprehend the investment in artistic growth which has resulted in a sound intuitive talent behind the creations. In my mind I'm picturing this series adhered but floating on an off-white backboard in a grid pattern, surrounded wide white matting, framed in a minimal but chunky black frame.... and on my living room wall! This share was particularly helpful as I've been toying with next steps on a 30" x 48" canvas. I'm at that stuck stage where I know it requires an injection of something different to bring it to life but not quite sure of what. You have provided a reference from which to move it forward and to explore ideas. Jackie, you continue to be high on my short-list of inspirational art heroes! ♥

[@jackieschomburgart]

You’re the best, Paul - thank you! ☺️☺️☺️

[@treezydcm]

I love this sort of thing, but doing these 14 tiny pieces would take me about a day if not longer :D. I loved the process and the results. I'm a sucker for contrast and bright colours and here comes Jackie! I love the trick to uncurl the curly edges. I will def use it 😍

[@jackieschomburgart]

Hey Treezy! Part of the beauty of this exercise is that you can spend as much - or as little - time on it as you’d like. Try it sometime by setting a timer for yourself - give yourself 10 minutes and see how many elements you can add to each paper before time runs out. It’ll help you think less and just play 🤗

[@treezydcm]

[@KathyBrooksArt]

Wonderful video and demo. Just got back from vacation and this will be helpful to get my mojo back! Thanks

[@sunwaterstudio]

I'm interested to know what do you do with all of these "warm ups" and other art you make. I am accumulating such a vast amount of artwork (not all good) by watching your videos and I'm not sure what to do with everything in my small space. Kind of don't want to throw it out... because I like referencing--but it's becoming overwhelming. Thanks for your videos. You are awesome..

[@jackieschomburgart]

You can do all sorts of things with these types of projects including using for collage paper for a different project, attaching to folded cardstock and making a homemade card, framing in a matted frame and hanging it on the wall, sending them to a friend as-is just to spread some love, gesso over it and keep reusing them for other warm up exercises, etc.

[@boulbon08]

@@jackieschomburgartI loved this! Very inspiring, almost therapeutic. Thanks so much for sharing ❤️

Take a photo of the ones you really like if you are thinking of cleaning out your space.

[@Mchelle021]

What is the adhesive? Seems like such a a nice way to easily work with and adhere small, thin pieces that don't stick to your fingers.....kept watching. Looks to be gloss medium. Think I've got it!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Yep - gloss medium! ❤️

[@CynthiaTrombley-jz9dh]

How did you adhere the collage pieces to the painted watercolour paper?

[@jackieschomburgart]

I just used my same gloss medium that I always use ☺️

[@BirdieB12]

@jackie schomburg-abstract what if you used a spray fixative vs the gel medium like Blair,sennielier,kamar,or grumbacher then it would not smear since it's neo2 not the neo1. Gosh I wish they had in neo1 all the colors that 2 has-gallery soft pastels has a nice assortment of colors.13:40

[@jackieschomburgart]

That’s definitely doable, but I tend to avoid spray fixatives because I don’t have great ventilation in my studio (small office) and the off-gassing tends to give me headaches. I could have used a small paint brush to apply the medium, following the crayon lines and it would have worked better. For whatever reason, I tend to stick with the color shaper even though I know if might smear a bit. It builds character 🤣

[@BirdieB12]

@jackieschomburgart that is totally understandable,and perfect. I am so with you regarding the shapers and the smearing, it adds a element that we normally do not achieve with brushes leaving the unexpected delights fir us to work with.🪽🎨🤍🎨🪽

[@jackieschomburgart]

100%! A "beautiful oops" as my kids and I call it after the book. :)

[@BeaRobertsArtist]

Do you use these as inspiration for larger paintings?

[@jackieschomburgart]

Yes! I certainly use similar processes when making a series of larger paintings as I do with these little ones. Like this 3-part series: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGfVdoZpZZWbqcksi=_g_pPWQ3Cw1N_Wa7

[@tussagirl]

What is the corn on the cob collage paper? ❤❤❤

[@jackieschomburgart]

I drew the pattern on a piece of tissue paper 🤗

I think we need to swap collage papers. Yours are so much better! @@jackieschomburgart

[@evemahony671]

What kind of adhesive did you use?

[@jackieschomburgart]

I use gloss medium from nova color paints 🤗

[@jasonballinger3549]

What is the gloss medium you used …. I don’t see it in your materials list 😅

[@jackieschomburgart]

Oooh! Thanks for letting me know - I’ll add it! I use gloss medium from nova color paints - they sell direct to artists only (not in art supply stores) www.novacolorpaint.com ❤️
