6 Mixed Media Paintings in 20 Minutes!

[@magdalenahadala6799]

Most times I have some time to do anything creative I just talk myself out of it by saying: "Let's just watch Jackie do it and learn from her" :) I also admire your determination to go on after making a little mess, I just get stuck at that point :)

[@jackieschomburgart]

While I love that you enjoy my videos, you can do it too! Grab some crayons and a sketchbook and create with me while you watch next time - I’ll keep you company ❤️

[@janswimwild]

Your courage with black is inspiring. I’m still scared of it 😂 And yes, I am very good at getting myself out of doing art because time feels squashed 🤦🏽‍♀️ I love these!! Your experience shines through but it’s up to us to make this a regular practice so we get better at it! Thank you 🤩❤️

[@jackieschomburgart]

❤️❤️❤️

[@annagray4208]

So much Fun. To begin with, a tidy work space helps . Then go in with no expectations except for fun

[@jackieschomburgart]

Yes! ❤️❤️❤️

[@charlottehogberg9855]

Love these small panels! When I feel I don’t have enough time I fool myself. I say, we will only look at the paint or do some swatches. Once I get started I always want to continue.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Great idea - starting is the hardest part ☺️

[@charlottehogberg9855]

@@jackieschomburgart I use the same method going to the gym. I tell myself “We only have to go there and get changed, we don’t need to work out “. Obviously when you get changed you are not just going to go home again. 😂 Works every time!

[@candacenystrom8186]

I want to paint every day.. but I do talk myself out of it. I really need to organize my space. It's a mess.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Having a clean space does help me begin painting with less resistance, that’s true. Or at least that’s how I imagine it has worked. Somehow every time I clean my desk up, I make something right away and it’s messy again. I have a filing system that I like to call “piles on the floor” that really helps me tidy my desk in no time! 🤣🤣🤣

[@sheilasibo8323]

What you do is SO encouraging and important to many people! Thank you

[@jackieschomburgart]

That’s so kind of you to say - thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@n.c.467]

Jackie, I love that whenever you get into a 'creative quandary', you work it out so beautifully! Thanks for always bringing us along on these colorful journeys!!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Aww, thanks so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@janetdegenhardt5999]

You continually amaze me. There are multiple times while you're in the process of creating that I am saying "no, don't cover that up! " But every single time, your pieces turn out fabulous because you kept going! I appreciate you sharing your process. It reminds me to try new things. And that I can always add another layer of paint. Thank you!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Yes! Try all the things! My personal favorite is to try the new things right away so you can cover it up first thing 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for your kind words, Janet! ❤️❤️❤️

[@DrummerGrrrl]

I've got allllllllll kinds of time because I receive Social Security Disability money every month... but, in the last three months I've fallen FOUR times and now can't get around without a walker... sigh. But, your panels are inspiring me! I like how they turned out... but I was screaming at my phone when you covered up the Celadon green and the reds! 😂🎉😢❤. Guess I'm gonna hafta buy some Celadon green and create some collages/abstract paintings on new supplies I got for Christmas. Rock on, Jackie!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Oh no! So sorry to hear about your falls! I hope you're recovering well. Sorry to stress you out when I covered up the green and red - haha! Yes! Go make your own version! Have fun!

[@lorraineerickson4311]

I get like that too. To the point that I become totally inert. But I end up doing is going and watching you do art. I have a broken foot right now and it’s hard to get around so I haven’t been able to do what I would like to do. But I have all, the paints and papers and brushes and I’m ready to go as soon as I’m able. Keep putting out these wonderful videos that you have you are so inspiring you do so much you are a mother a wife and through it all you do your art and I think that is wonderful

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thanks, Lorraine! Your support fuels my creativity! 🎨💪 Wishing you a speedy recovery!

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

I was thinking I didn’t have time to make art today so I decided to see what was new with my KZbin artist pals. Now I’m going to go make art. Thanks for the motivation. Love the bottom middle piece. 😍

[@jackieschomburgart]

Wonderful! Hope you had fun creating!! ❤️

[@ta3629]

I try to practice everyday. Some days are harder than others. I have a small place, so I have to prepare my area where I create. That takes time and effort. I also work a 9 to 5. On my off days I spend at least 4 hours creating. I absolutely love these pieces ❤

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thank you! ❤️ I’ve been there - I know it takes a lot to keep carving out the space and time to make art. Keep showing up and keep creating! ❤️❤️❤️

[@terryunderhill5991]

Love your stuff Jackie, and every single time I think” oh, I love it” …. And then you do something that I think is ruining it….. But no you keep going and I love it again. You always pull it together again! I learn a lot from you! My problem with time for painting is that I’ll wake in the middle of the night and think Oh yeah, got an idea and I’ll just do a little bit, and then it’s morning and I realize I’m going to have a really really tough day staying awake for the rest of the day! Gotta learn to talk myself out of that habit….🥴

[@jackieschomburgart]

Oh that’s so nice of you to say, thank you ❤️ Haha! Oh yes, the “second wind” is powerful! ❤️❤️❤️

[@puresunrays80]

I love these. Through various videos I love when there gets to a point where you add something, be it some collage or a certain paint etc and it transforms the art. The softness in this video reminds me of Turner's work. Speaking personally, my adhd brain works with the anxiety of I know I only have x time and I can't be late and I can't start this and stop part way through, so I end up not doing any art. On the odd occasions I have managed to do it, it's been a good learning experience as I find I do things differently depending on whether I'm constricted by time or not. I love seeing the way you use so many different techniques and objects to create your art. I need to make a list so I can try them too. I'm signed up for January's class and can't wait. 😁😁😁

[@JoJo-Chris]

Fun! I leave a current project on the work table surrounded by supplies so when I walk by, I’ll want to stop and work a little. It really helps! I like your floor piles idea but already I’ve got so many piles from bringing things back from my father’s house after it sold. My motto is slowly, slowly peck away at it, there is time. ❤

[@jackieschomburgart]

Yes, it’s much better to go through the things as you’re able. My piles are only helpful in the short term. Long term they add up quickly and become a nuisance 😆

[@amherst88]

Beautiful as always Jackie :) My struggle isn't so much with making art when I don't think I have enough time but telling myself I can't do it because my attention has been on more mundane things for a prolonged period and I think the 'quality' of my attention is therefore ruined for art-making. It seems to be all or nothing -- I think what would help (and I'm realizing this as I'm writing) is if I begin by having some projects set aside for those times, projects that don't require all out full dedication but still allow for some kind of art-making under any circumstances (I think that's my new mantra: *art* *making* *under* *any* *circumstances* ) Thanks as always for your infusion of thought-provoking inspiration ❤🧡💛

[@jackieschomburgart]

Ahhh yes, the "It's not going to be good enough so I'm not even going to begin" resistance. I know it well. I might have to share that mantra with you - I love it! ❤️❤️❤️ Always happy to have you watching!

[@PaulWalesArt]

It's truly magical watching you work through that ugly middle stage and have such amazing things emerge! I needed a Jackie fix today and it completely worked!!! As for talking myself out of painting, I think I've almost got that mastered. Thanks for the inspiration! ♥♥♥

[@jackieschomburgart]

Haha! Resistance is tricky that way! Always happy to have you watching ❤️❤️❤️

[@candacenystrom8186]

So excited to see you this morning! ❤

[@jackieschomburgart]

Yay!! Thanks so much for watching! ❤️

[@rpcalee]

Top right is my favorite too. Just lovely! And yes. Resistance galore. Not enough time. Not in the right mood. Kinda tired. Or could/should be doing something else...that I'm not actually doing ;-) I don't have any artist friends, so I really appreciate you sharing with us how things go for you. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is both inspired by your talent and appreciates the encouragement you offer us to believe that we can and probably will enjoy ourselves and maybe come up with something we really like, if we just start.

[@jackieschomburgart]

❤️❤️❤️ Ugh, the resistance! Thanks for your kind words - I’m so glad I can be your artist friend from afar ❤️❤️❤️ Starting is the hardest part for me too - but once I start I remember why I love to create 🤗

[@robertwebber8672]

time? no, i have all the time in the world. but energy levels , yes. your question struck a chord because today for the first time for weeks i forced myself up the stairs to the loft where i paint. and i was glad i did too. i did far more i had thought i would. and i now must go back up those stairs tomorrow to see what i did. maybe the rot has been stopped. and that would be a good feeling. best r

[@jackieschomburgart]

Oh how wonderful that you painted today! No matter what thing look like tomorrow, you made something today that wouldn’t exist if you hadn’t started and that, my friend, is a WIN! 🏆❤️❤️❤️

[@davefionamaycockbrynaert9259]

I often feel the same about the time thing...good for you , just go for it.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Yes! We've got this!

[@ingridcoke1360]

Greetings Jackie. Watching this video is Art medicine! Talking myself out of making art is an issue for me as well. My tendancy is to get all the non-art things (eg chores) done first, in order to have 'clear and free' space to create. Before I know it, my day is done, without art due to lack of inspiration. Art journaling is a quick remedy for me to address those moments when self-sabotage creeps in. By taking a fews minutes for intuitive mark making helps me to shift energy that would perhaps leave me feeling stagnant and guilty. Working with just lines to keep things really simple in such cases, evokes a sense of accomplishment that some aspect of art was made rather than nothing at all. Applying your approach to grids and collages has been super helpful when I experience creative blocks. Therapy! Thank you always for your authentic sharing.🙏🏽🥰💖✨💖✨💖✨💐💐💐

[@jackieschomburgart]

That sense of accomplishment is so satisfying, isn’t it? Love that feeling! So many of the daily (often boring) tasks can take sooooo much time. I’m so glad you’re able to sneak some creating into the busy times! ❤️❤️❤️

[@ingridcoke1360]

Absolutely Jackie. Making art grounds me, even if it's just 3 minutes of random mark making.

[@katsmeow123]

Super! And, I have to say, you never fail to inspire me when I'm in an art rut. TY!

[@jackieschomburgart]

I'm so glad - we creatives need to help keep each other inspired! ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheElleFactorAgain]

Absolutely there so many times I want to do art. But can't, and some reasons are legitimate, some are not lol. Happy Sunday great job pushing through! I really love your bold composition choices. Sometimes we gota just try the unknown. 🌹

[@jackieschomburgart]

You’re so right about some of the reasons for not painting being legitimate and some are not 😆 Eh, no worries, we all do the best we can and that’s enough. There’s also a time. To veg out on the couch and watch tv (or at least that’s what I keep telling myself!) ❤️

[@jeanedwards1857]

Nicely done. I like the red focal point on the upper left.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thanks, Jean! ❤️

Love all of the panels!!

Thanks so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@magee113]

Ohhhh Jackie!!! I want to grow up and be you!!! (I'm 62 y/o BTW...). I could watch you paint all day long!!! Truth be told, I have done just that by taking a few days, where I binge on as many of your videos and shorts, (whether I have seen them before or not...), as I can fit into the time I make to do so!! Question: Do you ever travel to the Richmond, VA area, to give classes? THAT is a class that I would definitely travel a bit and spend my money on, whatever the price!!! I did it for Dina Wakely a few years ago and wouldn't mind having a learning/"fan girl" day with you!!!!! Have a great day!!! 🙃😊💚💚💚😊🙃

[@cynthiathomas262]

how do you decide that a piece is done? do you have a mental list of properties you want to see? that topic would be a great video.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thanks for the video suggestion! I wish I had a better answer for you but often things “feel” done 🤷‍♀️

[@dailydoseofpaper]

The thing is….when I don’t talk myself out of it (if i only have little time), the other things that need to be done suffer. So I burned my dinner many times because i was cooking while giving in to a creative urge. And i get really grumpy if i am in my flow and then have to stop after 20 minutes. So better for everyone involved that i create when i have time😎💖🍀

[@jackieschomburgart]

Fair enough, I stand corrected. 🤣 I forgot to mention the importance of knowing oneself - if you know it’s not a good idea, best to stick to longer chunks of time ❤️❤️❤️

[@nenatirkkonen1659]

Thank You! If painting so many layers one after one You would like to reveal something from previous layers is it possible?

[@jackieschomburgart]

Definitely! If the paint is all dry you can use a box cutter/x-acto knife to scrape into the layers or you can draw/scrape into it before the layers dry 🤗

[@nenatirkkonen1659]

Thanks!

[@dianecharest8365]

Spray the white and take off more with paper towel.

[@dianecharest8365]

I meant , lay the paper towel on top like you did with the dry piece of paper.
