Thank you so much for watching.
Love, love, love the neutral colors. Can't get enough of the Titan Buff and the Van Dyke brown together. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing, Jackie.
I'm with you Debra! I've had a not-so-secret love affair with VanDyke brown since my days of furniture and cabinetry finishing. It just works with everything. Thank you so much for being here. 🥰
You might be surprised how many would stick with you for the full 5 hours. Thank you for the inspiration! I look at absolutely everything with new eyes
I love hearing that, Nancy. Thank you for watching and for your vote of confidence regarding a super-long video. I am considering it 😳 😜
Thank you so much for sharing. Love watching u work. I'm learning so much from everything u make ❤❤❤
Yessss!!!
Wonderful. Learning so much. You are a joy to watch. Thank you.
Yup. I’m going back to this many times during the day. You have inspired me so much I can’t even tell you. Eileen.
I don’t think there’s anything more relaxing and inspiring than watching artists work like this! I could absolutely watch you all day 😊
This is a lovely message to wake up to. Thank you, Kate I'm glad you're here! 🥰
Jackie you remind me of why I got into art in the first place - because it is so much fun! Love your content, thanks for sharing.
I love this, Aleta! Thank you so much for being here! 🥰
Thank you, Jackie for making these courses free through UA-cam. Once I found you a while back, I haven’t missed a lesson. You are a talented teacher of art. I truly appreciate you and I’ve learned so much. This lesson showed me not only ways to warm up, I also have the incentive to create, on those days when I lack physical and mental energy to create a project. I can still have playtime, following your suggestions and still be creating something nice for future projects. Thanks again, Jackie.
This is so lovely to hear, Cheryl. Mark making days are truly my favorites (ok...almost...everyday in the studio is my favorite). I hope the things you create make you happy, even on the low energy days. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
No plany plany. Hahahahaha. Love it.
Right, Carol?! I have each video translated into 17 languages and I always wonder what people think I’m saying when I Say things like that 😂😂😂
This is mark making heaven!! Like I’m in a candystore with unlimited consumption ❤❤❤
Thank you, Nathalie - that's how I feel when I lose myself in mark making. Thank you so much for being here! 🥰
I would love a video that shows how you store and organize your collage fodder.
Susan - you're getting your wish! The next video that is coming out is all about storing all of your gorgeous papers. I just filmed it yesterday 😍
Love smeary lines too❤
Thank you - I can’t wait to try the ideas you demonstrated. They’re so versatile & attractive.
Thank you, Faye - I hope you have as much fun mark making as I do! 🥰
Jackie, this is so much fun and addictive to watch. Truly inspiring! Your sense of freedom and intuition translates into the pieces you create. Love it! 😍
Without sounding nerdy, I could have watched the unedited 5 hour version 🤓😆.
Would you consider a video of you creating a piece of art with your pages from this and other videos? Would love to see how you put it all together 🙏🏻🤗🙏🏻
Hello Andrea, my fellow nerdy creative 😍 I have often thought about putting together a marathon series of works from start to finish, but then I think, "who would watch that?" Now I know that at least 1 person would, so I may have to do something with that 😂🤣😂 Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. 🥰
That would be amazing Jackie and I’m pretty certain I would not be the only fellow nerdy creative who would love to see you create your beautiful pieces of art. Thank you 😍🥰🙏🏻🤗@@PaintedPaperStudio
This helps me so much, I forget to gave a mark making day. But it’s so helpful .
It really is...and it's so much fun. Be on the look out, I have another mark making video coming up soon 🥰
Sometimes I find the torn pieces from a gelli pull are advantageous because they provide a shape that is most often organic which I didn’t have to “ think” about. Definitely more intuitive.
What a genius way to look at it, Nancy! I couldn't agree more. Thank you for watching 🥰
Fabulous session.
Thank you, Roz! 🥰
I just watched this again, Jackie. And the variety of textures you made is just amazing.
I have so many favourites here, but I really should have watched this video tomorrow though because I am really inspired to go make my own marks right now 😍
But I am too busy later today and time flies so fast once I get the paint open. 😭 So reserving tomorrow for marking and watching the next installment of your salsa trio series.
Thank you once again for being there and helping me to remember to create freely. That part is so easy to forget especially for someone like myself. x
That roll off sheet *chef's kiss*
Happy - I love that you rewatched that one and I completely understand what happens once the paint is open 😂 The great news about UA-cam is that it's always there. The next installment of the salsa series should post tomorrow at 9 AM PT. I hope you enjoy it. 🥰
I like the marks with the white Posca pen.
Posca pens are so fun to use! Thank you so much for being here. 😀
Jackie thank you for this thorough demonstration of your process. It was a very liberating watch. I've been getting stuck in my mark making and now I have so many more ideas to try. You're very generous and encouraging 😂👋
Thank you for your very kind words, Linda! I am so happy you watched and got some new ideas. 💜
I've just spent a wonderful moment learning how to make marks and for sure I 'll go to my studio tomorrow to make some !!! Thanks so much from France for sharing. 💖
I truly hope you did get a chance to make marks today 🥰
Beautiful marks.
Thank you, Sue! That was one of my all-time favorite days in the studio. 🥰
What a great video! So creative! Thank you for sharing and I will look forward to more videos!
Thank you, Catherine! I'm so glad the video connected with you 🥰
Glad I found your channel. Great ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching, Hedda. Glad to have you here! 😀
Excellent video! Absolutely loved it! Thanks much!
Glad you enjoyed it, Tanna! Thank you for watching and taking a moment to comment 🥰
Wow! This is an incredible display of marks! Im hooked now to your channel...... lets see some collages made from these...???pretty please! 😍
Thank you very much, Tamara! You'll see some collages soon. 🥰
It’s easy to go almost non-stop. This is fun-tastic art therapy for the soul. You’ve created sooooo many cool marks here❣️👍😍
Without a doubt, that was a really fun day! 🥰
Yay❗️😀
I absolutely loved discovering your channel and this was the perfect first video to watch on your platform! I look forward to more!
Thank you for your very kind words, Zavalza! I'm so happy you're here 🥰
In another video could you show some of the ways you might use these neutral marks? I.e. in collage, acrylic paintings, etc. ? Thank you.
I love you no nonsense accessible approach. Thank you for sharing your process with us!
What a great comment, Meow - thank you! 💜
😊💖Great marks! The paint shaper ribbons and your scripting tapes were two of my favourites…thank you!
Thank you, Darlene! The scripting tapes were such a fun surprise! 🥰
What a fabulous day! Great textures and contrasts. Fabulous Collage Fodder! Thank you for inspiring me to have another day making some background papers on Saturday - when I have a day all to myself. Isn't it fun? so relaxing to watch this video. Thanks
I'm envious of you Saturday, Mrs. Jones! Have a wonderful time 🥰
Jackie this is another great video! I love losing myself into mark making, so much fun finding different things to use. At first, I found myself with lots of papers, but now I’m using them in my art journals. Recently I was paired with a scrap buddy for a December project and I sent along some of my gelli prints. My scrap buddy was simply ecstatic as she didn’t have anything like it. So good use of our “art” 😊
I love this Fran - what a great idea - swapping papers with other creatives! I can only imagine how wonderful it is to open up the box (or envelope). 💜
@@PaintedPaperStudio It is very satisfying.
Your smile is so beautiful and shows the delight you get from your art! All your mark making is so inspiring and full of fun! This video was just so perfect 🤩!
What a lovely thing to say! Thank you Roaming Queen - I'm so happy you're here. 🥰
My pleasure 🤩!
enjoyed watching -- it was inspiring -- stimulated a bunch of ideas -- thank you for sharing
That's wonderful to hear, Ms. Lenni! Thank you for being here 🥰
Thank you!
❤
You're welcome, Linda. 🥰
I am so inspired. This is so much my style
That's awesome Lindy! 😀
3 thumbs up! Loved this video! Thank you!
Thank you, TeeCee - I love hearing that! 😀
Ooow just loved every paper. It really is fun mark making. Thanks for sharing.........Alioban
Thank you, Alison! I loved them all too 🥰 So glad you stopped by and commented.
Youre welcome ❤
Gorgeous!
Thank you! 🥰
This is from Liz. Very inspiring, Jackie. I love how you use the gelli plate in so many inventive ways. And how you use found papers and tools - from the hardware store or outside in the bushes! Your excitement and joy comes through - your willingness to experiment and then riff off of that - going down the rabbit hole - is fabulous! I am inspired to get going on my own. I did a bunch of papers yesterday - but today is going to focus on a neutral palette. I am so excited! Thank you, again, for a fab exploration.
I had so much fun making that one, Liz - I'm glad you enjoyed it too! 🥰
New to your channel, and after a big THANK YOU, I’m going to subscribe. I agree with some others that the whole process, maybe in a few videos, would have been doable for most. Your enthusiasm is contagious!
Welcome, EJ! Thank you so much for being here. I can't help getting carried away when mark making 😂
Beautiful!🎉
Thank you, Andrea! 😊
You obviously enjoyed your mark making and I was smiling all the time while I was watching you play. I liked the lines the paintscraper made, best.
Sometimes it can be very relaxing not to aim for certain results. But the heap of papers I got out of my sessions finally "urged" me to do at least SOMETHING with them.
As I was fond of bookmaking since I was a child, I just sewed some pages together, leaving writing space and wrote down, how I felt making them and what tools I used. When I look at the older ones now, I am often surprised and overwhelmed by the fact, that I was the person, who created them. I can definitely recommend that 🥰
How beautiful, Britta - "I am often surprised and overwhelmed by the fact, that I was the person, who created them." Thank you for sharing this 🥰
❤thank you ❤so many great papers ❤
Hi Jeanie! I love the papers that come out of mark making days - they feel like little creative gifts. Thank you for watching and taking the time to let me know what you thought. 💜
Thank you Jackie, I want to try all of these! I get frozen by perfectionism so I think mark making like this will help me loosen up ❤
Mark making is the remedy for perfectionism (I can relate). Not only is it relaxing, it is also revealing - these are the things I LOVE about exploring creativity. So glad you are here, Charlotte!
Phenomenal video 😮 Some gorgeous marks came out - I have to try some of these techniques
Thank you very much, Aangi! I hope you do try them and have as much fun doing it as I did. 🥰
Love it!!!!!
Thanks Mick, I really appreciate it! 😀
Brilliant!
Thank you Annalise 🥰
Great inspiration and enthusiasm! Being able to play and let go of self-imposed restraints is not always easy, but you provide a shining example of the joy in doing so.
Thanks for sharing your creativity.
Heather, thank you for your kind words. I agree that letting go of those restraints can be challenging, but when you do, WOW! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment 🥰
Wonderful, thank you!! And now we want to see you use these gorgeous papers ofcourse!🍀💖😀
I know...I know, but I'm super attached to some of these 😂 This is the "curse'" of painting papers, right?! Thank you for watching again, and taking the time to comment, Daily Dose 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio off to Hordy- land they go then ( and I do understand, they look delicious)💖🍀
I loved every minute - could have watched the entire 5 hours! Inspiring and doable.
Amazing @@barbaraculton8039 - don't encourage me or I really will post a 5-hour video 😂🥰
I really enjoyed this one 😍😍 I think the ability to make different size marks is a game changer for me. I've just done small ones. I'm not sure what I'd use them for, but using bigger sizes and bigger papers will be fun. This type of art always confused me so I didn't really do it much. Just recently I realized it wasn't about what you'd use it for, it was about just doing it. Thanks for another inspiring video ❤❤❤
You nailed it, Kricket! It really is about just doing it. How (if) you use any of it later will work itself out. 😀
Like you, I was mainly using small marks. I’m eager to start making collage papers with bigger marks and a wider variety of tools.
Thank you so much for this Jackie. It is so inspiring, that when I go to thrift shops now I am on the lookout for mark making tools. I realize now also that it is about having fun creating these marks and experimenting and worry about how to use it later. All of your mark making looks so fabulous, I could watch this again and again it was so fascinating. Take care and stay blessed.❤
Neutrals are so versatile as they will blend with almost any colour scheme. Thanks for sharing yr knowledge.❤👍👍👍
Exactly, Andrea! I love a good neutral. Thanks so much for watching 😀
Another one that I LLLLove! Thank you ! (👋Everybody, from France)
YAY! Thank you, Irma - mark making is a blast! (👋🏼 from Southern California) 🥰
I especially LOVE the textures on the black and white sheet which looks like tree trunks!
Mmmmmmm - I do too! Sometimes the most surprising things come up when mark making 🥰
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ super inspiring. Thank you!
Thank you, Carmel for the love! Mark making days are such a great way to spend time creating. Thank you for watching 💜
❤
Loved seeing your mark making with a limited colour palette and your joy in the results. I enjoy this process very much, it's very relaxing, and asemic writing is a lot of fun to do and looks great in collage. My problem is that I end up with a lot of paper and then don't get to using it but I have had fun!
Just like me 😅 concerning lots of papers. 🤣So I began binding journals using them, tearing them, putting them together like paperquilts, doing slow stiching on them - that made beautiful pages in my books and gave me nearly the same feeling I had, when I was making the marks. Looking at all those marks I made, brought the gorgeous feeling back. And: I was content to have sort of a result in the end.😍
Thank you very much Diana - it really is a joyful process for me. And yes, I end up with heaps and heaps of paper, but next week's video is all about how I store them. I hope you'll watch 🥰
I love all the different ways you use your papers, Britta! 🥰
Loved this video and am inspired by it! Thank you!
Thank you, Diane - I'm so glad you're here 🥰
Thanks!
Linda, I appreciate your kindness and generosity. Thank you. 🥰
Jackie, such a great video! I am feeling inspired once again and have become a new subscriber to your channel. ❤
Thank you Debra - that means so much to me! 🥰
The BEST paper making video!!! Thank you for all these amazing ideas I may never have thought of!! You are a generous artist!!❤❤❤
That is ver kind of you to say - thank you, Cathleen!
I have stuck with you through much of my day with a few breaks. This is the most valuable tutorial I’ve ever seen in my several months of looking on UA-cam. You are my go-to for tips on how to tap into my own passions in what I want to create. Beyond appreciation for you.
I would love to find a class in person around Los Angeles. Any tips❓
Will - thank you very much for your very kind words, it means so much to me. I am not offering any in-person events at this time, but I hope to soon. Have you heard of or follow Robert Szot? I love his work - he does really cool things, and he offers in-persoon classes in LA. 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio Thank you so much for turning me onto Robert Szot. I’ll start studying him next.
Thanks. Eileen.
@@willcarney4424 - Thank you for the name correction, Eileen - I'll do my best to remember 😀
I could watch this all day, thanks for the great ideas.
What a lovely thing to say, Messer Designs! Thank you for watching 💜
I'd love to see how you use some of these papers in a composition
Thank you for watching Claudia. I have already used some in other videos, and have more to come 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio great I don't want to miss any of these videos
So inspiring, Jackie! Marks so simple, but I never thought of them. Thanks for this illuminating video.
Thank you, Barbara. The simplicity is what makes it so easy to get "out of my head" when I'm working. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. 🥰
I got an old dictionary and started with you. Soooo fun!!!! I have some gorgeous prints and yes I lost myself in the process too. Thank you 😊 💓
Right?! We don't use our old dictionaries anymore, so why not make art out of them? Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. PS - my whole family has a "thing" about pickles 😂 We have them all over our Christmas tree, we name pets after them and put them into too many meals 🥰
I'm going to take some time to get into this beautifully organic, intuitive and simple way to get out of my own way ❤
Love that, Suzi! It's my go-to anytime I feel stuck creatively. 🥰
Also, doing mark making with enamel paint is a kick. I have a collection of just blacks in a variety of finishes; matte, satin, hi gloss, opaque, transparent, etc. Some of them come from hardware stores and are not just the typical paints from an art supply store. Finding just the right black for your project can be a fun challenge.
I LOVE this!!! You are so right about finding the right black 😂. I hope you come back to watch, I have a video coming out within the next couple of weeks that features enamel's and latex paints 😍
Jackie, thanks for the inspiration, I'm now going to take a sketchbook with me to my day job, so that I can use stressful or down times for mark making... So that I can be excited to get back into the art studio when I get home to use them in my collages and art journals! Interestingly, I had slipped my mind that you don't need a gel plate to make marks... Thanks for the reminder!!
Dawn - I love that you're going to make marks at your day job 😍 I know I do a lot of things that may seem "extra" but the truth is all you need is a pencil a something to mark on. Have fun making your marks! 💜
FUN!!!! I have a piece that has me stumped. I don't know what to do with it next. I'm going to set it aside and play like this for awhile, knowing that the troubling piece will be resolved later.
I love this, Veronica - have fun playing!
i just ordered a paint shaper and seeing the ribbons you made makes me want it to get here sooner.
Always inspiring to watch you work. Thank you.
I feel you, Red Lady! In the words of the late Tom Petty, the waiting is the hardest part 😍 I hope the shapers arrive soon so you can start playing with them. Thank you so much for watching. 💜
I enjoyed this video so much and watching you mark your papers. Could have watched for 5 hours lol! ❤
Thank you very much, Artzology! I am looking into how to do a long, in-process video. The problem is that my studio has terrible wifi. Having said that, I will find a way if it's wanted. Thank you so much for coming back and watching again. It means a lot 💜
Loved the demo you shared with us today! The final piece of paper was just gorgeous and I would frame it as it is--serendipity at its finest! Thank you and Cheers! 🥰
Thank you Lori - I think I am going to frame it for a while. There is so much creative inspiration in that piece, I don't want to put it away where I can't see it 😍
@@PaintedPaperStudio ❤👍
Thank you SO much for sharing!!!! I love mark making as well! Thank you for the inspiration!!! SO many possibilities !!! Great marks!!!
Right?! There are so many possibilities they almost make my brain hurt, but I love having them around. Thanks for watching Kath 💜
WOW! What a variety of shapes and marks - just love them. Can't wait to get started on creating some of my own. As a newbie to this particular form of art I am so inspired. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Julie, thank you for watching. I feel like mark making is the perfect place to start for any newbie - it feels good, you can learn so much from it, and you can't do it wrong. Go have fun with it 😀
I saw this as a wonderful hangout! Sooo fun! Thank you!
Thank you, Elle! I really want my videos to feel like a hangout...like you're right in the studio with me, and we are riffing on creative ideas. I hope you come back for more 🥰
So much inspiration! Thanks so much! I love your work! I appreciate that you share your process and encourage everyone to try things out!!😍😍😍
Thank you, Catherine - and yes, I hope everyone who watches tries new things. I think it's the most exciting part of creating. 🥰
fun
Thank you! I learned a lot. Can’t wait to start making some collage papers in new ways-bigger marks and different tools, as well as neutral on top of neutral, and mark on top of mark.
Your welcome Rabbit! The larger marks opened up new ideas for me too - it's easy to stay with what we do most, but it's exciting to try something new on for size 💜
Fantastic!! Enjoyed your process, the results, fantastic video!
Thank you very much, Lorie - I'm so glad you are here!
Absolutely loved this video and the mark making. All the papers were so amazing! Very inspirational to me! Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it Patricia, and I hope you get to spend some time mark making this weekend 😍
תודה!
תודה על התמיכה בערוץ שלי! 🥰
Absolutely love this. Thank you so much for sharing. I’m totally inspired x
Thank you Skylight! I'm so happy you are here 😀
I absolutely LOVED IT ALL ❤❤❤
I'm so glad you did. Thank you for watching and taking the time to let me know you enjoyed it. 💜
Woww! Really enjoyed watching this video. I learned so much. I was excited to see the pulls as if I were doing them. I love that feeling of a great pull. Have a beautiful day & thank you so much for sharing!!!
Same same, Heather - a great pull is like the cherry on top. Thank you so much for being here 🥰
Can’t wait to see what you create with these!
Me too, Donna 😂 Sometimes I get so attached to them I don't do anything with them. Other times I use a every last scrap. I need to let this one sit in my body for a bit. Thank you for watching😀 💜
I can see myself using these in my collages 🙏Awesome video
Thank you, Ovidiu! I hope you have as much fun using them as I am 🤗
Thanks
Thank you very much for your generosity, Anne. I appreciate you! 🥰
Fantastic video. Love it!!! I'll be making marks tomorrow. You've inspired me big time
Thank you Lulabelle - have a great time making marks tomorrow 🥰
awesome!!! so inspiring that I worked along with you all day! :) such a freeing art play day :) thanks!!
Love hearing this Dawn! 😍🥰😍
I want to see a collage you’ve made with these papers.
Hi Cheryl, thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. I haven't decided what I will do with these yet, but as soon as I do I'm sure I'll make a video of it 😀
Wonderful video. I want to do a monochromatic journal so this is full of helpful ideas. Thank you.
That's a great idea Bad Bat! Now you've inspired me to do the same 🥰
Great inspirational video Jackie! Thank you for sharing! I think I now know what to do with my “failed” gelli prints - make organic marks on them! Breaking up the surface with marks will definitely give them more interest!
OMGosh, *yes 100%* to this, Cindy! What a great use for "not ready for prime time" prints. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment 🤗
They sell the scraper under cake decorating. ❤
Great to know, thanks Nita! 🥰
Wow amazin g i want to try it, thanks
Thanks Yolanda - I hope you do give it a try - it's so much fun! 💜
Loved this. Inspiring lots of ideas. The "foamy" oval ring....what was that? I didnt see it on your list. Thanks!
Hi Dan, I'm so happy you enjoyed this. I wish I had a direct link to the foam stamp that I used, but I don't remember where I got it (it was a very long time ago). I usually get my foam stamps from Joggles or Art Foamies. I hope that helps. 🥰
Absolutely love love mark making and the neutral pallet is my favourite, I have loads, what are the papers you used? And would love to see a finished piece of your art please 😊
Hi Debbie - the papers were newsprint, regular copy paper, onion skin paper and drywall tape - I've linked to the exact ones I use in the description. When the session was finished I regretted not using tissue paper too, but I've got to save something for later 😂 Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much. You are so inspiring and you have inspired me to give it a try. What kind paper are you using...I looked at three video with captions since I am deaf.. thank you again so much
Lisette, thank you for such kind words. The papers were newsprint, regular copy paper, onion skin paper and drywall tape - I've linked to the exact ones I use in the description. I'm really happy that UA-cam makes it so easy to upload captions. I almost always watch video with the captions on 🥰
Loved it. Inspiring. As far as using these papers in collage, do you prefer the ones that are translucent, or semi translucent vs newsprint? I have used tissue and love how it almost disappears when used in collage.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, MaryLou. To answer your question, I love all the papers, but it feels so satisfying when the tissue disappears into a piece. Have you ever tried using a texture medium on tissue? Now that is super fun! 🥰
Thanks Jackie…this is wonderful! What surface is your gel plate resting on…is it plexiglass? Love how it makes is so easy to move it around and aside!
Hi Robin - yes, it is plexiglass. I love that it gives me resistance/leverage when I pull my prints. However, it does slip around a bit. One of the viewers here suggested non-slip shelf liner to prevent slippage - I bought it but haven't used it yet, but will let everyone know if it keeps my plate in place. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. 💜
So inspiring! Loved it! Question for you - what is Federalist Blue? I'm having trouble finding it.
Hi Sue - thank you for being here! I got the name a little wrong, it's "Federal Blue" and it's a house paint color manufactured by Sherwin Williams ( color code #SW0097). 🥰
