(UA-cam doesn't send me a notification if you reply to THIS comment, only if you start a NEW one!! SO DUMB!! I KNOW!)
This is the first time I’ve been thinking enthusiastically about using all of the art supplies I’ve had sitting unopened for years. This may be the kick in the pants I need to get going! Please send me your guide!
Fear prevents you from living your life to the fullest. What have you really got to lose, do want makes you smile and feeds your soul. If it feels good just do it.
you are such a light!!!!!!! I am a grandma artist and my grand kids love art and I am so gonna do this with them. "don't be precious about it" oh, what beautiful words to live by... GET MESSY PEOPLE!
that’s so cool to see the founder of Art Journalling for Beginners.. I’m a member of that group. I don’t consider myself a beginner anymore so I don’t post much to the group.. when I first joined the group I was certainly comparing my work that looked like a kindergartner did to all the beautiful work on the page. But people in the group were very encouraging and inspirational..
Hi Karen Can I please get the download, you inspire me so much with your work you do.. 😉 OMG I can relate to so much you have just said in this video.. Thank you for all you do and keep on going..😀
I'm so glad, I think you are very much not alone!!! Here's the link that will allow you to download the 5 pages of awesomeness! awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-kick-in-the-pants-quotes/
Oh yes, I would love the download please! I’m new to art journaling & mixed media. I freeze up enough over regular realism art so I don’t wanna go through the same thing with mixed media (especially because mixed media looks so much more fun!).
karen i watch your videos every evening your personality is the best ,ive painted for 27 years i was a stay at home mom and bob ross told me i can do it ,he was right ,the years bob passed away was the year i began my journey ,i was 36 and now im 63 and going strong ,im so glad you are here
Exactly what I needed today, and one of my biggest takes from this video is how you were not at all bothered by the mauve paint getting on additional pages and overspray from the paint cans hitting the edges of your journal. I need to get over any perfectionism thoughts and just do it
Hello Karen, your video was up this morning so I watched. So much fun! I am going to use your art journaling videos when watching the grandkids on spring break. I am older and have fallen into this blank page fear or uncut fabric block. And I don’t want my grandkids to fall into that. When you are not an everyday artist you can loose you skills. Sewing too. I made five sets of doll pj’s for Christmas for a cousin sleepover. I cannot believe how My skills had faded. So I am back to making myself sew some everyday. I have scads of art and craft supplies so I am going to collect them all up in bins. Put them outside on the patio and have art every day. Starting with making an art journal. Even for the younger kids. The 12 and 7 year old used do do art everyday but school and video games take up mor space. My grandson plays the bagpipes and we will be going to Scotland as soon as he is big enough to carry my bags, hahah. We are also only four hours from the Bob Ross Museum and they love him too. Thanks again and any pdf’s will be helpful for my kid (and personal) project.
I love this so very much, Betsy Anne!!! Definitely keep up with the practicing and creating everyday, it makes such a difference! awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-kick-in-the-pants-quotes/
I would love the download please thank you kindly for sharing your beautiful ideas and suggestions are helpful and thanks so much for helping me through this fear of starting art journals because it's going to be so much fun the pdf please
It IS going to be so much fun!!! I cannot wait to see what you make! Have fun! Here's the link to the pdf that will email you the download! awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-kick-in-the-pants-quotes/
Just found this I could have used this 2 years ago. Love the energy. I'm a bead weaver who happens to love drawing woven looking pictures. I paint and I use colored pencils . Gel pens art pens of any kind I love ink. I love drawing with a med graphite pencil then make the lines bold with acrylic paint pens. I let expression freak me out. But art is what I have it's my souls language. I enjoyed this whole video today thank you
Will definitely do Patricia! I am just making one small change to it tonight but it will be ready when the video launches tomorrow morning and I'll shoot you over the link as soon as its ready! ❤❤❤
I had the fear of art journaling but am ready to get on the saddle and take it for a ride. I learned a lot of Shawn Petite and Karen Burchill in breaking the blank page and have made oodles of master boards with stamps, paint, stencils, etc. The FREEDOM I felt from putting all this to paper and on a canvas was LIFE CHANGING. I closed my Etsy shop because I was tired of the pressure of having to be 'perfect'. I don't need to sell to other's...I need to create for ME. Thanks for all the info in this video. I'll be watching your other video's on this. Again, thanks for doing these video's. ~ BLESSINGS ~
I started several backgrounds last night then went to town on the spray paint yeah thank you kindly for giving me a reason to kick myself in the pants I have been having so much fun love you from afar
OMG I need this PDF in my life right now! I joined Awesome Art School, but I've totally fallen off the wagon and haven't done anything in months, when I go back and look at my work and I'm actually embarrassed
Aw, come back to you us!!! It is never too late!!! Here's the link that will allow you to download the 5 page pdf! awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-kick-in-the-pants-quotes/
Hi Karen, Love, love, love this video. I can't wait to try it, but I will need to follow how you create hands first, so I think that should be my next lesson. Stay tuned! Stay healthy!
Karen, you are a saint! Girl, like I told you in the group, you are nailing everyone of my issues. I can't thank you enough for all you do!! And, oh yes please! I would love the pdfs!
I GOT YOU!! It is totally my pleasure! Here's the link that will allow you to download the 5 page pdf! awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-kick-in-the-pants-quotes/
Karen you are so generous with your time and talent! Your enthusiasm is contagious and I am ready to bust that blank page of the new journal ( joining all the little blank friends) I bought last week but to afraid I will ruin. Thank you and Bob, so much. Yes, I would love the PDF.
YesSssssss!!! Sooo happy to help!! Here's the link to the pdf that will email you the download! awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-kick-in-the-pants-quotes/
@@KarenCampbellArtist I am 3 whole years late to the party. I tried the link to see if it was still available. Has it been discontinued by now? Better late than never so they say!
The topic of this, the perfectionism and comparison thing is really interesting. I think we get programmed to make a product,something that other people will approve of, something 'worthy' and it can kill creativity and the enjoyment of playing at art.
Karen, I was so stressed when I turned on your video and you totalled relaxed me! I loved all the ideas for backgrounds which is what completely stalls me with my journals. I'm going to just work along with you now and see what happens.Thank you so much for being positive and upbeat. We need more of that in our lives.
OMGosh Brenda no way!! I'm sooo happy to help!! My hope is that more and more people will get involved in this super fun and therapeutic activity! The more the merrier!
Backgrounds are my weakness too. I've been making stamps out of cardboard and fun foam and just painting a plain background then stamping with my stamps and that's been helping. Some of them even look good hahaha. Another thing I started doing is just splattering my extra paint onto paper and making other random marks just to not waste left over paint and that has been making some interesting background pages. I was going to cut them up until my daughter pointed out the fact that they looked cool on their own. Hahaha. Hope that helps give you some new ideas. Making stamps and stencils is fun too. 🤗
Love this!! Watched this yesterday on Patreon and was super motivated. It was refreshing to NOT be told you must have these paints, this paper, these brushes, etc....to make quality art!! I have been binge watching videos forever it seems and I personally have decided that ART is very personal, in journals or framed prints. If I enjoyed the process and result, then I have won!!! Love you Karen, thanks again!!! I would love the PDF.
Love you back Donna!!! You are 100% right, it IS personal and enjoying the process is the ONLY WIN!! Here's the link to the pdf that will email you the download! awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-kick-in-the-pants-quotes/
I know im randomly asking but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Andre Aron I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Love this, I always find background difficult they are always too much or not enough and then how to make the feature element pop. i so want to try a spray painted background!!!!!!, can't wait for more in this series
For sure!!! But only when drawing "for real" sometimes just stamping a quote or making a mess is all good!! No reference (or skillzzzz) required is freeing!
Love your enthusiasm. I have all my art journal supplies on my desk and ready for me to start on all those blank pages! Would love the pdf please. Thank you!
OMG just love love love your amazing out look to having fun and while you are having fun you are making a master piece of of ART, you go girl , so glad i came across you today . sending you 💜💙💚 Thank you Karen
Love love love this inspirational "how to get started" guide, it's EXACTLY what I needed to get back into my art work after a 3 year dry spell. PLEASE send me your PDF guide sheets, and many many Thanks for all you do and share with us. I am so grateful🙏
Girl! This rocks and now I want to go grab my unfinished art journals I started in 2018 when I first started watching you and finish them up! Plus I have this little old Peter Pan book I got on the clearance isle at Half Price Books for 50 cents or a dollar and I want to make it into my fairy art journal filled with little fae, botanicals and magical forests.
Love love love everything about your plans!!! And I cannot wait to seeeeee!!!! Here's the link to the pdf that will email you the download! Love you girl!!! awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-kick-in-the-pants-quotes/
Doesn't it just make you want to art journal right now?! I love the idea of your peter pan one!! How sweet;) I have a Pooh board book I started converting into an art journal to but one collaged the first two pages 🤣 I think they are begging to be helped out hamburger style :)
Amazing video content! I’ve just found you even though I’ve searched for mixed media flips and artists for more than a year on UA-cam. Very frustrating that you weren’t recommended at all that I can tell ( I actually found you from your hamburger book on Amazon and someone’s comment about how wonderful you are and that you offer the same info for free on UA-cam). I have found about 25 others but you, are by far my favorite in style, encouragement, colorfulness, positivity, down to earth- ness and FUN! And your artwork is BEYOUTFUL! Thank you for all you provide and that you do it with generosity and kindness (2 of the best qualities!) Instant subscribe!
Absolutley Deanna! Thanks! Here's the link that will allow you to download the 5 pages of awesomeness! awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-kick-in-the-pants-quotes/
This so funny, true and satisfying! Karen will crack you up! There is no such thing as being stuck forever, it can become your most beautiful piece because you will alway have to figure something out, that's how we grow, we play and fix it or nix it. It is ALL GOOD!
Oh Good! Let me know what you end up going with! Here's the link that will allow you to download the 5 pages of awesomeness! awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-kick-in-the-pants-quotes/
@@KarenCampbellArtist Thank you so much. I have really only just started 'you tubing' people and thankfully you came through in my search almost immediately and I've been binging your videos for the last day while I've been 'doodling' and drawing and.... you're amazing, inspiring! I love your energy! I actually did my first colored in funky face yesterday!!
Art Journaling has been one of the most rewarding experiences and I'm absolutely addicted to it! It's helping me grow in leaps and bounds. There's really no pressure (I'm coming to realize) because it's ultimately just for me. It's something I can do sitting in front of the TV for a hr or I can go full on project mode and spend a long time on a page.. It's all up to me! What a versital way to play, grow, and enjoy mixed media! I was intimidated at first, absolutely, but that's very quickly becoming a non-issue! Art Journaling ROCKS! ❤️❤️
I love Art journals, have a couple with a few pages done but I block so many times, not knowing how to start or I don't want to cover a background that I really love, or finding the right quote... I think this will help me sooooo much, please, send me the link. 🥰🥰🥰
I have to get into my box in the "Monica" closet and get the used book I started doing this in! I'm excited to raid the garage for tapes and go through my endless stash of washi and napkins and get back to preparing pages!!! *and 😂😂😂"don't tell your husband" * too funny
Letting yourself go..release oneself! I have done this! Thanks to you and others on UA-cam! I sketch and have lines over drawn and I love this! Over sketching looks good! I love an over sketch then add watercolour! OMG Love it! The timid get it right first time has been given a licence to experiment . I love the look of over sketching verses using a pencil rubber to get it right!
Loving this encouragement, please send me the kick in the pants! I'm not new to art journaling but I've never been able to be consistent in my practice because of many of the fears you talk about in this video. I love that you got a 5-year-old's perspective! I watched the first 30 minutes and I'm all jazzed. I have to go to work now but when I get home I get to watch the next half and I'm super excited for that!
I'm a beginner "artist". Well, I'm able to get back into it from when I was a kid. So I want to remind other beginners that you are probably just getting back to it SO whatever age you left off is probably the age you will be when you pick up that pencil/pen/paint brush. I'm 58 but when I open my re-beginners art journal I RemiNd myself that I'm now going to be 12 again for abit while this book is open. The rest of the world goes away and I'ts ok to spend some time and BE KIND to my12 year old SELF. Super healthy!!
This is great! I’m excited to start my new art journal book today! I loved the spray paint background and am going to give that a try for sure!!! I would love the PDF please!!
Oh I'm soooo psyched for you to try it! Let me know how it goes Cindy!!! Here's the link to the pdf that will email you the download! awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-kick-in-the-pants-quotes/
Well, you totally got me in! I didn't plan to watch the whole video but I did and now you've done it! I've told myself forever that I didn't have anything to "say" so I had no idea of anything to paint but, as I watched you do your backgrounds, I started getting ideas of what I would put on them. Other mixed media artists always say that they have no ideas in mind but it becomes obvious that they are working to a plan and that puts me off trying. So, thank you. I can't believe that I'm actually going to get my stuff out and have a go!
i wanted to try mixed media for years but was afraid to start and dont know where to start. love your videos that it teaches beginner to be less stressed, enjoy the process and just start ... would love to get a copy of your pdf .. thank you,
Hi Jocelyn, you are totally in the right place! I hope this helps get you inspired and ready to start: awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-kick-in-the-pants-quotes/
I saw your video that was posted on 7-30-20 concerning using scrapbook paper for the background. I love it. I cannot draw, but i did learn to do collage using paints and magazines images. I truly enjoyed that process. That was 2-years ago. I am going to watch your tutorials to learn more. I like the have the download please and maybe with your guidance I can use all the mixed media stuff I bought two 2-years ago and then abandon because it became overwhelming.
Of course you can!! And this is a great series for getting started with very concrete ways to do so! Let me know if you have questions! Here's the link to the download! awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-kick-in-the-pants-quotes/
Hi Karen, thanks for the great ideas for creating interesting backgrounds! I spent the whole hour watching and doing my art along with you. I loved it.
Oh my goodness Karen! Each of those things you said at the beginning applies to me. I'm one of the 65 year old women who don't feel they have a creative bone in their body. I make cards to send to friends & relatives & I was awful when I started, but with time I've improved. I don't feel mine measure up to my two friends who make cards though. But then as my one friend says, "Who's going to fire you?". I've come to like that saying. I've perused quite a few youtube videos for beginners art journaling, but yours is the best by far, & I've only seen this first one. Love your humour & your encouraging way of talking about it. I'd like to have a PDF copy of the sheets you showed. I'm looking forward to seeing the next video too. Thank you so much & hope you stay well. Best wishes from Vancouver Island, BC, Canada
Hi Teri! I absolutely love that saying! Keep on creating because it makes you happy and I'm positive that your friends and family adore your cards and appreciate the effort you put into them. Happy to have you here! awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-kick-in-the-pants-quotes/
Karen you are amazing. Thank you thank you for all your help and knowledge in everything art and Journaling. I needed you and you are here. Love your stuff. Loyal to you forever
You are so positive and a love your art. I am 65 years old and started to dabble into collages by using my husbands old tools and screws etc. he has become quite protective of his garage and it has become a non -entry zone. LOL.. My aunt started her water color art at 62 and ended up having her pictures in art galleries. I started with abstract paint pouring and moved on to collages because "I cannot draw". So here I am...you are so inspiring that I thought I would give it a try. Sorry my spelling. I am from Switzerland but live in the US. Would you please send me the pdf for the hamburger system and how to draw faces. Thank you so much. Veronika
Hi Veronika! I love to hear that you have been digging into your husband's tools, that's awesome! Hope that you enjoy these: awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-hamburger/ create.awesomeartschool.com/drawing-guidelines/

Fear prevents you from living your life to the fullest. What have you really got to lose, do want makes you smile and feeds your soul. If it feels good just do it.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching, Linda!

that’s so cool to see the founder of Art Journalling for Beginners.. I’m a member of that group.

Great tutorial on how to start our art journals! For me, helpful to also have a reference🎨🎨
For sure!!! But only when drawing "for real" sometimes just stamping a quote or making a mess is all good!! No reference (or skillzzzz) required is freeing!
I don’t know how to say this professionally, but it was so cute how you explained the art journal
Thanks so much, Edwin!
Love your enthusiasm. I have all my art journal supplies on my desk and ready for me to start on all those blank pages! Would love the pdf please. Thank you!

Girl! This rocks and now I want to go grab my unfinished art journals I started in 2018 when I first started watching you and finish them up! Plus I have this little old Peter Pan book I got on the clearance isle at Half Price Books for 50 cents or a dollar and I want to make it into my fairy art journal filled with little fae, botanicals and magical forests.
Love love love everything about your plans!!! And I cannot wait to seeeeee!!!! Here's the link to the pdf that will email you the download! Love you girl!!! awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-kick-in-the-pants-quotes/
Doesn't it just make you want to art journal right now?! I love the idea of your peter pan one!! How sweet;) I have a Pooh board book I started converting into an art journal to but one collaged the first two pages 🤣 I think they are begging to be helped out hamburger style :)
Amazing video content!
I’ve just found you even though I’ve searched for mixed media flips and artists for more than a year on UA-cam. Very frustrating that you weren’t recommended at all that I can tell ( I actually found you from your hamburger book on Amazon and someone’s comment about how wonderful you are and that you offer the same info for free on UA-cam).
I have found about 25 others but you, are by far my favorite in style, encouragement, colorfulness, positivity, down to earth- ness and FUN! And your artwork is BEYOUTFUL!
Thank you for all you provide and that you do it with generosity and kindness (2 of the best qualities!)
Instant subscribe!

Art Journaling has been one of the most rewarding experiences and I'm absolutely addicted to it! It's helping me grow in leaps and bounds. There's really no pressure (I'm coming to realize) because it's ultimately just for me. It's something I can do sitting in front of the TV for a hr or I can go full on project mode and spend a long time on a page.. It's all up to me! What a versital way to play, grow, and enjoy mixed media! I was intimidated at first, absolutely, but that's very quickly becoming a non-issue! Art Journaling ROCKS! ❤️❤️
EXACTLY!!! Yasssssss!
I love Art journals, have a couple with a few pages done but I block so many times, not knowing how to start or I don't want to cover a background that I really love, or finding the right quote... I think this will help me sooooo much, please, send me the link. 🥰🥰🥰

Letting yourself go..release oneself! I have done this! Thanks to you and others on UA-cam! I sketch and have lines over drawn and I love this! Over sketching looks good! I love an over sketch then add watercolour! OMG Love it! The timid get it right first time has been given a licence to experiment . I love the look of over sketching verses using a pencil rubber to get it right!
Yes, so freeing to just let go! So glad to have you here!
Loving this encouragement, please send me the kick in the pants! I'm not new to art journaling but I've never been able to be consistent in my practice because of many of the fears you talk about in this video. I love that you got a 5-year-old's perspective! I watched the first 30 minutes and I'm all jazzed. I have to go to work now but when I get home I get to watch the next half and I'm super excited for that!
Yay, I'm glad this is inspiring you to get back it! Here is the PDF:

I'm a beginner "artist". Well, I'm able to get back into it from when I was a kid. So I want to remind other beginners that you are probably just getting back to it SO whatever age you left off is probably the age you will be when you pick up that pencil/pen/paint brush. I'm 58 but when I open my re-beginners art journal I RemiNd myself that I'm now going to be 12 again for abit while this book is open. The rest of the world goes away and I'ts ok to spend some time and BE KIND to my12 year old SELF. Super healthy!!
Yesss, I love this so very much! Be kind to your self and just enjoy the process!
Download please please.... I have been in such a art funk and I need to freeeeeee myself ...

This is great! I’m excited to start my new art journal book today! I loved the spray paint background and am going to give that a try for sure!!! I would love the PDF please!!
Oh I'm soooo psyched for you to try it! Let me know how it goes Cindy!!! Here's the link to the pdf that will email you the download! awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-kick-in-the-pants-quotes/
Well, you totally got me in! I didn't plan to watch the whole video but I did and now you've done it! I've told myself forever that I didn't have anything to "say" so I had no idea of anything to paint but, as I watched you do your backgrounds, I started getting ideas of what I would put on them. Other mixed media artists always say that they have no ideas in mind but it becomes obvious that they are working to a plan and that puts me off trying. So, thank you. I can't believe that I'm actually going to get my stuff out and have a go!
Woot!!! So excited for youuuuu!!!!!
You make it so "doable!" Pleas PDF me!

Hi Jocelyn, you are totally in the right place! I hope this helps get you inspired and ready to start:
awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-kick-in-the-pants-quotes/
I saw your video that was posted on 7-30-20 concerning using scrapbook paper for the background. I love it. I cannot draw, but i did learn to do collage using paints and magazines images. I truly enjoyed that process. That was 2-years ago. I am going to watch your tutorials to learn more. I like the have the download please and maybe with your guidance I can use all the mixed media stuff I bought two 2-years ago and then abandon because it became overwhelming.
Of course you can!! And this is a great series for getting started with very concrete ways to do so! Let me know if you have questions! Here's the link to the download! awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-kick-in-the-pants-quotes/

Absolutely Love your brilliant personality !!
Very Inspirational indeed !
Thank you so very much, Ron!
Karen, you are so fantastic. Loved this.
Thanks so much, Carol!
Oh my goodness Karen! Each of those things you said at the beginning applies to me. I'm one of the 65 year old women who don't feel they have a creative bone in their body. I make cards to send to friends & relatives & I was awful when I started, but with time I've improved. I don't feel mine measure up to my two friends who make cards though. But then as my one friend says, "Who's going to fire you?". I've come to like that saying. I've perused quite a few youtube videos for beginners art journaling, but yours is the best by far, & I've only seen this first one. Love your humour & your encouraging way of talking about it. I'd like to have a PDF copy of the sheets you showed. I'm looking forward to seeing the next video too. Thank you so much & hope you stay well. Best wishes from Vancouver Island, BC, Canada
Hi Teri! I absolutely love that saying! Keep on creating because it makes you happy and I'm positive that your friends and family adore your cards and appreciate the effort you put into them. Happy to have you here!

You are so positive and a love your art. I am 65 years old and started to dabble into collages by using my husbands old tools and screws etc. he has become quite protective of his garage and it has become a non -entry zone. LOL.. My aunt started her water color art at 62 and ended up having her pictures in art galleries. I started with abstract paint pouring and moved on to collages because "I cannot draw". So here I am...you are so inspiring that I thought I would give it a try. Sorry my spelling. I am from Switzerland but live in the US.
Would you please send me the pdf for the hamburger system and how to draw faces. Thank you so much.
