The Brave Art & Wellness online workshop combines journal writing and intuitive art making with a focus on the process of making art rather than the finished product. In these workshops you will learn a new tool to slow down, de-stress, and stay present in the moment. We will focus on the importance of self-expression and listening to our own unique voices in the midst of the hustle and bustle of our lives. Process art is a highly
effective self-care tool that can help:
- calm anxiety and promote positive mental health
- boost self-confidence
- foster radical self-acceptance
- encourage self-expression
- process trauma in a safe space
This is an online workshop via Zoom.

I love that reminder. "You are the only you." 👍

[@jackieschomburgart]

It’s true! ❤️❤️❤️

[@user-oq1sy4ci2z]

I love this, Jackie! I'm so glad you chose to do it in only black and white, because I was so curious to see how they turned out. They remind of x-ray pictures actually. I'm inspirred to try it out for myself. Such a great way to practice composition and differences. I also love the way you talk about your art and the choices you make, it feels light-hearted and makes me view my choices with more ease. A great gift!

[@jackieschomburgart]

I’m so glad to hear it - especially that you are giving yourself more grace! Thank you for sharing this with me! ❤️❤️❤️

[@joanna45419]

So glad I revisited you. Thanks for no distracting music.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Ha! Yes, I dropped the music long ago. Glad to have you watching ❤️

[@blueislandgirl_]

There's something so cool about Black and White! thank you

[@jackieschomburgart]

❤️❤️❤️

[@judithchiasson8554]

i get sad when someone says they can't draw or paint, because they are holding inside themselves the unique thing we SO want to see on that paper: the artist!! and their own special one-of-a-kind marks, color choices, approach... 😊❤❤ ps: love, love black and whiite and contrast too!! love your collage work!!

[@TheElleFactorAgain]

Beautiful thoughts!!!

[@jackieschomburgart]

I agree! I like to think that those folks who hold back just aren’t ready to try *YET* ❤️ Perhaps it’s only to make myself less sad, but I like to think that people who are interested in creating will eventually find some way to express themselves 🤞🤞🤞

[@miekemiddelhuis3782]

I love the way you work, it inspires me to go to my gelplate and make lots of new prints. I agree... it doesn't depend on supplies, it's all about creativity. New subscriber from The Netherlands, thank you!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Yes, Mieke! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@michelleinScotland]

I love black and white and circles - I'm going to have to try this.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Yes, try it!

[@Gabby-ey9br]

Oh I love these ....Gabby ❤

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thank you, Gabby!

[@TheElleFactorAgain]

"...how much art is the artist, not the supplies" this is so powerfully inspiring ✨️ 👏🏼 🙌🏾 ❤️ 🎨

[@jackieschomburgart]

❤️❤️❤️

[@mixedmedialife7916]

This reminds me of grid journaling (which I ❤️)! I appreciate you reminding us this was sped up bc these really do take a long time🙄⌚. I enjoyed watching and listening 🤩.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Yes - it’s like giant grid journalling! ☺️ So glad you enjoyed it! ❤️❤️❤️

[@PaulWalesArt]

So.. mid-way through I became the guardian of the upper left-hand corner.... "pick me, pick me", I'm screaming at the screen. "Jackie, can you not see me? Am I invisible?" So I was RELIEVED when you acknowledge the lack of love... LOL.... Another great share of your talent. Be well.

[@jackieschomburgart]

😂😂😂 Apologies for leaving you hanging for so long! ❤️

[@TheKathept]

Love these!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thanks so much! ❤️

[@BeckyBops]

Love your channel... thank you for inspiring me to keep turning up and trying new things X

[@jackieschomburgart]

You’re so welcome - thank you for watching! ❤️❤️❤️

[@springazure]

I started using a Liquitex super heavy gel for collage work mostly because I have a large stash of gels and mediums and I want to use them. I like it because the collage doesn't buckle so much when drying.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Yes! I noticed that nothing buckled at all when I used the heavy gel! I don't mind little wrinkles here and there because I like the added character & texture it brings, but with the heavy gel I didn't get any wrinkling at all. Nice to have more control over when I add texture and when I want it 100% smooth!

[@houdini840]

Really enjoyed this. Thank you!

[@jackieschomburgart]

So glad to hear it - thanks for saying so! ❤️❤️❤️

[@artelchemist1]

Yep that top left one I was feeling for the whole way through 😂

“Keep hoarding paper” Thank you for validating my paper hoard 🤣👍🏻💪🏻

[@jackieschomburgart]

Anytime! 🤣🤣🤣

[@jdevereux9155]

Really enjoyed this Thank you 🙂

❤️❤️❤️

[@amherst88]

Great as always Jackie, both the art making and the Ted talk :) If you ever decide to offer a workshop in painting collage paper I would totally pay for it (and FYI if you ever want to tone down the shine of the acetate I've found Golden Soft Gel Matte works well)❤

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️ Good tip with the soft gel for the acetate! I am working on some art instruction workshops for the spring - stay tuned!! ❤️

[@marycrochet8210]

great

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thank you, Mary! ❤️

[@swl9270]

Shiny overhead plastic…acetate. I believe I have some in my stash! Haven’t had time yet to do the “blind” collage session as you discussed with me in another comment this week bc well, you know, L.I.F.E….sigh…

[@jackieschomburgart]

Acetate! Yes, that’s it - thank you! 😂 No worries on the blind collage session - try it when you have the time. Zero pressure ❤️

[@swl9270]

[@swl9270]

@@jackieschomburgart well check the box…blind collage #1 in the collage book done. Do I love it…process yes result of this one, meh… but I’m learning to embrace ugly in my art (sounds good huh?). Seriously, I’m learning to let it ride for a day or two before I take my next steps vs rushing to “fix” something. TFS this technique!
