How to Begin a BOLD Cohesive Mixed Media Series

[@allthumbs3792]

I DID NOT expect to love this, that neon red is almost blinding! BUT as it progressed I began to really enjoy the calming effect of the flowered and darker papers. Honestly this is one of my favorite of your projects (there are MANY) and I could hardly wait to finish the dishes, start a new audio book and head to my art supplies! Thanks for a fun Sunday afternoon!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Oh that makes me so happy that it got your excited to create! Thanks so much ❤️❤️❤️ (also, what audiobook are you listening to? How is it so far??)

[@allthumbs3792]

@@jackieschomburgart I listen to a variety of books, novels lately by Lisa Jewell, Michael Connelly, Amor Towles, Bill Bryson. ... Eclectic!

Just taking a moment to say CONGRATULATIONS to you, Jackie!! You now have more than 10k subscribers...and I'm so happy to be one of them. Your videos add a lot to my creative life, so thanks, and Congrats!!!!❤️

[@jackieschomburgart]

Oh I’m so glad - thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@paulagrootelaar9005]

Love how these turned out. I absolutely agree that whatever art piece you love will fit in your environment and do nothing but enhance it. Thanks again for a wonderful tutorial.

[@jackieschomburgart]

❤️❤️❤️

[@daftdabbler]

These turned out beautifully! I love watching you create and listening to you describe your creative process and thoughts as you go along. I don't get much from watching someone paint or make art without any commentary. Always enjoy your videos, thank you so much! 😊

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@maggiemae6867]

Lots of yummy delicious art right there!!!

[@jackieschomburgart]

❤️❤️❤️ Thanks Maggie!

[@sharonm3185]

Love using bold colors! The neutrals really tone things down. I tend to go bright on bright lol so this is super helpful for me to get both in there 😂 I guess it doesn’t matter as long as I like it or have fun ❤

[@jackieschomburgart]

Haha, love your style, Sharon! 🎉 Bold colors for the win! 🌈❤️

[@PaulWalesArt]

You make it look SO easy! 😆Beautiful outcome as always. Completely in love with your color selection and how it all came together! 💗♥🧡🖤🤍

Thanks so much for your generosity in sharing your process! I keep coming back to collage during my own art journey so I am trying again…appreciate your inspiring thoughts❤

[@ikbenliesbeth8119]

I just watched this video (I know ... I'm very late to the party) but I love love love the result. I love bold colours and black & white. And everything goes together so beautifully. The gold really makes it pop ❤

[@marylyon1230]

I think matting or framing is such an important part of the work...they bring the art alive. Like putting a perfect pasta into a beautiful dish. Curious to know what you have on your walls? Love these.

Idk if you consider yourself an influencer, but after a few of your videos I bought fluorescent red paint!

I sometimes want to paint really bold like that and think exactly what you said: where the heck would I put this?! I probably wouldn't hang it up...but if it's framed a certain way, it would definitely change the vibe. Painting bold colors and abstract design is fun, thank you for sharing your process!

[@jackieschomburgart]

I say paint the fun paintings and worry about where they might go later on! ☺️❤️🤗

[@JoJo-Chris]

These are wonderful! I usually like working with curved lines, but I can see the beauty of straight lines when I look at what you do. PS. A house made of candy sounds delicious. 😂

[@jackieschomburgart]

[@mariemargueritebrickner7631]

Hi this is my first time watching you. Love the neon. I don’t make art to decorate my home but if I did it would be fine. And it does remind me of Architectural Digest maybe in NYC or neon and bold colors remind of the nostalgia of the 1980s when I lived in San Diego and La Jolla… enjoyed your video and looking forward to more.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Welcome - I'm so glad to have you watching! Thank you! ❤️

[@NavyAssassinOnBLAST]

Love the colors, though they're not my usual pallet 🎨 I would use 1 or 2 bold colors to make my muted colors pop. I definitely agree that art doesn't have to match any interior design style. It would definitely fit in an eclectic interior. Which is the most interesting IMHO 😊

[@jackieschomburgart]

I totally agree! ❤️❤️❤️

[@veroniquelennon6246]

I love how bold your art is, but for those afraid of bright colours, large bright abstracts are a predicted decor trend for 2024 so people should get used to seeing more of them - you may get some new converts!

Thanks so much - that's fun news too! Long live the bright colors! ❤️❤️❤️

[@TammieWardArt]

I use to never put any art work out on display at our old home. When we were packing my husband said why are we packing all your art if you are not going to display it. So i put up white shelves in our foyer, and long hallway. It has our guest bathroom in that hallway. I have hung and displayed nothing that matches. Its a true Picasso bight color of everything. My entire family loves it. When we have parties, I jokingly put price tags on all the art in the hallway. It makes for great conversation. Life is really too short to not be yourself and be proud of any art you make. Even if its stick figures drawn in pencil. Seriously. While purple is my jam of colors, i will use any and all colors. If you have an empty wall, fill it with a framed piece of art.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Yes! Yes! YES!! I love your attitude! ❤️❤️❤️ (and please, if you have art you’d like to sell, leave those price tags up with real prices you’d be happy to accept! No more jokes! 😘)

[@freshspiritworks4535]

What?? There are prople who don't like bright colors??? Oh wait, I personally know one. Well I agree with you - these colors fit anywhere - it's art! LOL. You have inspired me to try this myself ... ftom grid style to a big piece of paper! Sometimes when I watch you apply collage I actually yell out 'no not there' or 'make it smaller' - you do wind up making great art! Congrats on 10K - you're awesome! Linda H

@@jackieschomburgartyes, you got much better performance from the Inktense blocks than I did when I tried them last year. Maybe I should give them another shot. Maybe the paper I had was too cheap

@jojojo8835 It can be hit or miss with the inktense blocks - I wasn’t convinced that they were all that great at first. Keep trying new ways to use them and you might find a way that you LOVE ❤️
