How to find Themes and Titles for your artwork
Looking at your body of art together gives you a sense of the through line, the common thread running through your work. Sometimes we are not sure what that is until we view the whole picture.
Once you've identified the theme, titles come a little easier.
In this video you will see how I have looked at my various types of work that seem so different but deal with the same theme. In this case, nature, is my muse...
If you need help with identifying your themes, I'm happy to help!
I work mentor and support many artists (whether professional or amateur).

Painting with Gelli Plate
Переглядів 2702 місяці тому
Experimenting with layers and different papers on the gel plate allows for a more painterly effect. There is not limit to what you can do. Nature inspires me so I am always referring to nature's beauty to inspire me and then I am off and running. I have used various papers in this video, even sewing fuze fabric! Play, have fun and don't be afraid to experiment with layering. You can join us onl...
What Drives us to the Courageous act of Creativity?
Переглядів 1332 місяці тому
Art making is a struggle, yet that doesn't stop us. There is a drive, a pull towards that which we cannot explain. In my programs, I include meditation as a large part of this process. Meditation is akin to creativity-we do not know what the end result is but we continue to experiment, explore and enter into the mystery. That's why I call my studio The Art Process Studio. In our upcoming 3 day ...

Collage on Canvas
Переглядів 7628 місяців тому
In a previous video I showed you how to stick down collage papers onto a canvas. Now I'm showing another method that I've been using on my environmental works that works for me on the type of images that I want to lay down flat. Wetting the paper first is a good strategy. If the paper is very stiff, dipping it into water and letting the excess run off works well after you have placed glue on th...

Layering in Mixed Media
Переглядів 1,8 тис.11 місяців тому
Collaging and De-collaging is a great way to build layers over an existing artwork that needs more richness. In this video I have added gelli prints onto the piece and tearing off parts to expose the under layer. I have no particular outcome in mind, just allowing the process to unfold and lead me to the next stage. This is how I love working. It allows for the surprise element and gives me a m...

    • @TheArtProcesswithKathyLeader
      @TheArtProcesswithKathyLeader Рік тому

      you dont have to. But good to afterwards. If the paper is stiff, sometimes dampening it with a little water helps it flatten. But only seal when dry. Hope this helps

  • @stephaniek2913
    @stephaniek2913 Рік тому

    I'm trying to find the best glue for various Japanese printmaking papers...Washi, rice paper...very thin. Do the gel mediums stain through semi transparent papers, looking like a grease blob or do they dry to invisible with no effect? I have thicker cotton rag papers & have many times used matte medium, soft gels etc. with no issue but I'm afraid I'll ruin my more delicately printed ones or that over time they may discolor if not every part of the surface has ink or paint on it. Thank you!

    • @TheArtProcesswithKathyLeader
      @TheArtProcesswithKathyLeader Рік тому

      I have not tried it with delicate papers. I would try a sample first and probably not use gel but rather a regular matte medium. Good luck and let me know

    • @TheArtProcesswithKathyLeader
      @TheArtProcesswithKathyLeader 2 роки тому

      best to seal with matte medium(but dont brush it on, it will smear! Rather dab it on or paint onto wax paper and press it on)Same with pastels
