So beautiful

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

Thanks so much!

[@millygit]

Love the journals, I am thinking of making one myself, but ever practical I wonder do you write in them or is it just a wonderful collection of your artworks, blessing from Australia

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

I do have journals that I write and do art in and others are just for practice, sketching and experimenting.

[@karlahartzell2786]

I love day 20s color scheme so much!

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

Thanks so much!!

[@anknaparkin7510]

Thank you very much for sharing such a wonderful collection of your art papers. Very inspiring as ever. 🤩👏👏👏❤️🙏🏼

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

You are most welcome and thanks!!

[@KariGibsonArt]

It is great to see what you do with the gorgeous collages. Coincidentally, in a few hours I have a video scheduled to go live where I put together my collage papers (inspired very much by yours) and then I make a page in an old sketchbook. I hope it doesn't look like I am copying - I made the video on Saturday!😱😂

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

Thanks so much!

I enjoyed the Transitions Journal class and I’m so glad for your technique videos. It’s so helpful, thank you!💓

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

Yay! So glad!!

[@Sparky_In_Oregon]

I would like to see the Transitions Journal video but I'm not able to find it. Can you please give me the link?

[@nancylopez4234]

Sparky In Oregon Sure! Hit the link in the video for Robin Marie studio website. Click on “courses” on her homepage and scroll down a little bit. I think the title is “the transitions journal” and in the box it says free. It’s a wonderful course!

I LOVE your work! I play a lot with COFFEE and making my own coffee PATTERN PAPERS and make them available for free for others to use, and I think you might like to try some of the techniques I use, nothing super fancy or new, but fun and playful like the amazing art you make!! 🥰 u rock! xo Marci

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

Thanks so much and I appreciate you sharing! I love the look of the coffee on papers mixed with bright colors.

[@VickiClose2023]

I have enjoyed watching all of you updates and am going to be so sad when the 100 days is over; Can you share what you used to glue the tea bags to the paper? Would soft gel work?

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

Thanks so much, Vicki! The tea bags are super thin so a glue stick or soft gel would work.

[@rabbitgregory9289]

When you use chalk pastel on any of your pieces do use a fixative?

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

Most of the time I don't need it because the water acts as a sort of binder. If I feel I do, I might use a pastel fixative.

Question...on your first tracing paper page...why would you cover that nice paint marks with a piece of paper with paint marks? I am trying to learn and was wondering if it because you wanted to create a collage page effect? Because it drives me crazy when i see nice paint marks covered up......lol

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

Hey! For this, I wanted to use a paper from The 100 Day Project and the one I used was speaking to me. I wanted to use the tracing paper page and I didn't like the orange mixed with the pink in the paper. As I mentioned in the video, I can use the other side of the tracing paper with the orange paint for the next layout. When I create journals with painted papers inside, it is my intention to paint and collage on them and change them.

[@Pegaluce]

@@RobenMarieSmithArt Oh i see..it is just that I love your marks and hate to see you cover them up,...lol...but I see what you mean. I looked up your Transition Workshop but there are too many items I do not have...would love to just see basic video on how you constructed the book..especially since it is one book that finally is made without sewing it! lol

[@terrybanet3330]

That tracing paper seems really stiff. Was there any clear gesso or anything else on it? If not what brand makes it that thick and sturdy?

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

No, I did not put gesso on it. It is a premium tracing paper, which is thicker than the regular.

[@zoomerellazoomerella2947]

Your scribbles look like art, my scribbles look like a child did them, and not in a good way.

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

Oh, I would just keep playing and letting it develop. 😊
