Mixed Media Art Journal Entry | Layers Create The Mystery
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2024
- This week’s mixed media art journal entry is all about layers. Layers and layers of layers.
Your art journal is the very best place to explore and experiment with different layering techniques.
Whether your journal entry is glaze layering, collage, or hand-painted layering, you are sure to learn something new about your technique and/or process.
Join me for some mixed media art journaling and learn what you love!

⭐Best Viewing Experience for YOU ⭐
Every creative person has different needs. Here are the different ways to enjoy these videos.
- Some enjoy hearing me explain my process. If that’s you, make sure your volume is on.
- Others prefer to read my process through the closed caption subtitles. If that’s you, turn on the CC at the bottom right of the video.
- Some don’t want to hear my voice at all (that’s ok 😀). If that’s you, turn the volume off and watch.
I have had every video electronically translated through close captioned subtitles into 12 different languages to be able to reach and connect with as many people as possible. If your language is not represented, please let me know.

I absolutely love your excitement when creating :) This is so pretty
Thank you, lovely. I really cannot help myself - I just love the whole creation process - I'm glad you like it, too! 🥰
Really enjoyed this.Great to see you smile as you create and the joy it brings .Great tips on how to find your style , just experiment and play and you will find what you love.Just found your site yesterday so look forward to watching more.Thank you for sharing❤
Thank you, Lorraine there is quite a bit to watch for sure. Without exploring, how can we possibly know what we love when we create, right?! Plus, the experimenting satisfies my inner art-geek 🤓. I'm so glad you found the channel. 🥰
Thank you for sharing your process. I just got into collage and you have given me that confidence to just jump in and put together a piece freely. I am someone who loves the thinking process (it brings me joy to figure it out and spend time on it) but others enjoy looser art. Both can be right. Thank you for your insight. I love watching you work/play.
Thank you, Sam - you are exactly right, both can be right. A few weeks ago I created a video testing the translucency of different papers. I loved it because it served my inner-geek who loves the experiment process. But then I finished it by creating a "just get it out" abstract collage. I enjoyed both. I'm so happy you're here and that the videos connect with you. 🥰
You hit the nail on the head, my art is therapy and joy for me, what others see in it doesn’t matter. We all have that person who says “What do you do with your art?” like you need to justify making it. That is what makes it hard to accept ourselves, I appreciate all of your encouragement! Beautiful page too!💕🇨🇦
Thank you, Cindy. My "favorite" question is usually some form of "why did you do that"... or ... "what does it mean?" It used to get to me, but now I love it - it gives me a chance to share that it's ok to do things just because they make me happy. Art making really is the best therapy 🥰 (not medical advice 😂)
@@PaintedPaperStudio 🤣🤣 I have accepted the fact that many people only admire what they do, or they just don’t understand anything you can’t attach a monetary value to. You are right, I have explained many times how all creative outlets are for ones well-being and expression, yes, some result in monetary gain! Volunteering vs employment, is only one valuable? Therapy is expensive, art is better!😁
A great book to read if you haven’t already is “Your Brain on Art”….reviews research on how art making and even art appreciation is beneficial to health and well being.
I have not read this, so I'm running over to Amazon now. Thanks for the recommendation @@RobinGayl!
@@RobinGayl actually I don’t have to read it as I can feel it 🩷 I am so happy and in love and get always alot of energy and good vibes… for me it’s really a kind of meditation as I am absolutely in the here and now and thoughts maybe about what color next or this looks amazing 😅🥰🤣
LOVED seeing how you played with your collection of painted papers!
Thank you, Diane. Sometimes it's hard to use them - the ones that I'm attached to, but there is always...always...more. So happy you enjoyes the video. 🥰
amazing
I am loving all the layers and the finished project is beautiful. Thanks for sharing, Jackie!
Thank you for watching, Debra - this was just such a fun project to work on. 🥰
I am mesmerized by what you do, it teaches me a lot. Not just about art, but in general, about approaching life, work, writing, mixed media… Thank you for showing, and telling.
Thank you very much, Karen - this is such a lovely message to wake up to. Thank you for being here. 🥰
Nice piece!
Thank you, Sylvie! I'm glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Thanks, Jackie!! So fun to watch you use the painty papers you created!! So fun!!
Thank you, Catherine - it's fun to use them! 🥰
Thank you.
You're welcome!
You’re so cool, and I’m really grateful that I’ve stumbled across your channel. Thank you for the inspirations!
Thank you, Lisa - I'm not cool - you're cool! 😂 Thank you so much for watching and leaving such kind words. 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio we’re definitely cooler when we’re making cool art!
Love how your work turned out today. 🤙❤
Thank you very much, Tutu! 🥰
Loved seeing your art journal. You said it perfectly about art work coming from the heart and being joyful with it. 😊
I could watch u create all day long!
Awwwww thank you Donna - that's very sweet. I'm so glad you enjoy the videos. 🥰
Thank you for the words of wisdom, it helps
You're welcome, Nadia - thank you for watching. 🥰
Ms. Jackie I am really loving your video, your style❣️. I’m a recent subscriber. You do such a variety of gorgeous work❣️❣️❣️❣️
That is very sweet, Lynn. Thank you for watching and letting me know what you thought. 🥰
Beautiful!
Thank you, JB (also my initials 😍)
Jackie, you've made my heart sing with this video 💗💗💗! You've created such a beautiful collage! And your sketchbooks contain so many treasures ... LOVE the page at 1:44 so much! Your palette knife works are marvelous as well!
What you've said about staying creative no matter what others think about your creations is so important! And you're right: your art comes from within. But at the same time, this is what makes it scary for so many creatives when they show their work to the world. It's so easy to become vunerable. It takes a lot of courage to face this state of vunerability. Can be painful.
I've just returned from Paris and a wonderful Mark Rothko retrospective ... Rothko once said: Sending your work of art into the world is a daring and merciless venture. Your work of art lives and dies in the eye of the sensitive beholder.
I think we should be our own sensitive beholder and make our art stay alive no matter what ...
Aloha from Berlin ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
“We should all be our sensitive beholder” - so beautifully said, thank you for sharing Queen. And you are right, it does take a lot of courage, and can be painful to choose to share our creations. But we don’t have to, and that is also beautiful - keeping the thing that makes our heart sing, just to ourselves (if we choose).
I had the pleasure to experience a Rothko exhibit in New York in 2017 or 18. I could have stood in the room for days falling in and out of love with each piece at different times. Meanwhile, I heard the old trope spoken by a passerby - “I don’t get it, my son could have painted that.” * sigh *
Thank you for you very kind words about my sketchbook - as much as my art is for me, I still feel like a nervous school girl when I share it. * sigh* again.
I hope all is well in Berlin.
Xo,
Jackie
"It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks" I really needed to hear this today, thank you.
Only last video I was thinking it'd be great to see you how you work with your painted papers again and here you are.
I'm happy that these videos can be a temporary salve for your creativity, but let's find a way to get you out of logical brain for a while so you can play again. 🥰
The process is the point for me. This turned out so beautifully!
I'm with you Rae Lynn - the process is the fun part - it's where I lose myself in the moment. I think I would lose my spirit if I had to focus and follow directions (like a paint-by-numbers). There's nothing wrong with creating that kind of art, I'd just miss the delight I feel making it up as I go. Thank you for being here 🥰
Hi Jackie, your suggestion not to be "too panny planny" works great for me. So sometimes now I trust myself and start with what is lying before me on my desk and see, where it leads me. I love my time watching your video on a rainy sunday in Bavaria. Would you tell me how many hours a day you spend in your studio? Because in this video you shared a lot of work, that I haven´t seen in your videos - and you know I am a true (if that is the right expression) viewer. (For example those fabulous 🥳 grids at the beginning) In this video I liked very much how the layers (especially the transparent ones) add structure and mystery to the piece. Have a joyful sunday, Jackie 🥰
Lovely Britta, you are what I would call a 🥰 Super Viewer 😍 and I appreciate all of your support and encouragement from the very beginning. I love that you're letting the art and what you have lead you - it's so freeing, and doesn't it just feel great?! As for the studio work - it's as if you can see into my computer 👀 - tomorrow's newsletter is all about studio time 😀.
I love this! 😍😍😍 these colors 😍 and the dots YESSSS Sometimes I was like shouting “nooo stooooop” but it turned out so nice. I think I it is not easy to find the right time to stop when you’re like ‘in the vibe’ isn’t it? I really love your videos, they are so zen 🧘🏻♀️thank you for sharing all your nice works with us ❤
Thank you, Virginie - it is SO hard to stop when in the vibe, but when the dots come out I know that I'm nearly done (usually 😂). Thank you so much for being here. 🥰
Thank you Jacqui!
You're welcome, Janice. I'm so glad you're here. 🥰
Hi Jackie! This was awesome, thank you! I love all that color, texture and shape going on, and I would never think to put it all together like that ~ just gorgeous!! 😍🤩🥰
Nice to see you, Victoria! Thank you for your kind words 🥰
I love this and the colors are so perfect. I love doing collage!
Thank you, Alana! 🥰
Inspiring and encouraging. Thanks Jackie!
Thank you very much, Paul - it's nice to see you here again. 🥰
Gorgeous!
Thank you, Virginia! 🥰
Love it!!!
Thank you, Claudine! 🥰
I don't use much yellow, not sure why, but it gives this piece such warmth and energy even though not that much shows through at the end. Thanks Jackie, off to dig out my yellows! 😊❤
It's funny Charlotte, I used to stay away from yellows, but these warmer yellows I've been playing with lately are just yummy! Thank so much for being here 🥰
Hey Jackie! I am so happy that your videos are coming out on Saturdays now! I can watch them right away whilst drinking my homemade chai tea latte! Btw, I love the part where you said that we don't have to like the end result... This is something I just recently discovered and it brings so much freedom! I wish every artist/creative would try it! It was a game changer for me as you saw on my IG this week. Thanks for another inspiring video, chloé 🙏🧡
Hi Chloé! Yes, not being attached to the outcome is so important when we make art (or life in general). It's hard to get there though. I'm thrilled that you have, and I love what you've been posting on IG 😍. As for uploading on Saturdays - I'm not sure that I will keep doing that. Last week and this week it was necessary because of travel. I'm going to think on it a bit, but if I do go back to Fridays, I hope you'll still watch on Saturday's with your latte 🥰
Which ever day you post I will watch as soon as I can with my chai latte! No worries!!!
You're the best! @@The_artistic_yogi
fun!
This is beautiful
Thank you very much, Janet! 🥰
Snap! 😂❤ This is exactly how I work! I’ve had very bad art block for about 2 years. I’ve managed to make a few collage papers but that’s it. This does make me want to go out to my art room and muck around! I use a lot of acrylic inks for my glasses tho 😁 Thank ❤
That is supposed to say Thank you❤!
YESSSSSS! Get in there and muck around 🥰
Fantastic, only a few hours ago i was thinking of ideas on how im going to cover the front of my sketch book and hey presto you do a video on the very subject...so inspirational. Thanks Jackie.❤❤❤
I love it, Andrea! Great Minds 😀 I've got to be honest though - I have the hardest time coming up with ideas for the sketchbook covers 😂 To make it easier, I've decided that I'll do the covers once the sketchbooks are full, sort of like a final kiss. 🥰
Yes i know what you mean we sommetimes hit a brick wall but somehow we get on a roll and cant stop.❤❤❤
Really enjoying your videos and find them inspiring! Do you first gesso your journal pages for strength? What about for a painting?
Hi Libby - I'm so happy you're enjoying the videos. The answer to your question is yes/no/sometimes. On this one I did not gesso first it was just a choice. If I know that I am going to work very wet I will usually gesso first, but typically I do not gesso in my sketchbook. I always gesso canvases, hardboard or anything I am going to sell. Sometimes I just use my gessos as paint in a painting or collage. I hope this helps 🥰
I feel if you cut the piece up into 5 ins squares they would be fab ❤
I bet you're right, Sue! However - thinks that go in my sketchbooks/art journals go in permanently. I still have a lot of leftover papers from that entry - I could make a version of it and cut it up. I'll let you know if I do. 🥰
Hi Jackie, Could you please add a link for the second stamp that you used? The one that created the grouping of small rectangles? Thanks for all your videos. I love your work and how much you share.
Hi Bob - I am so glad that you pointed out that I didn't have this stamp listed! It's by Donna Downey (she's fab) and here is a direct link to it. I've also updated the supplies list 😄🥰 artfoamies.com/products/donna-downey-sixty-marks-foam-stamp
@@PaintedPaperStudio Thanks for the quick response!
As someone who "over thinks" my creations, I can say I honestly have not discovered value in making abstract art like that presented here. "Art" based on mushing paint and using a bunch of textured/patterned papers - papers often made on a gel press using mass produced stencils and rubber stamps, or incorporating mass produced images, simply doesn't meet my criteria for artistic development because it doesn't help me to improve my drawing ability, nor does it assist me in developing my visual story telling. I know from experience that my most satisfying works are those that forced me to confront my own perceived limitations by stretching my ability to represent identifiable images, as well as those works that improved my skills in using various media to create identifiable images.
The kind of art presented here is simply a way for art suppliers to sell more supplies. It keeps us locked into a system of consumerism and prevents us from actually overcoming our insecurities about our abilities and about creating real authentic art. It's only through shutting off the inner critic and making "bad" art, meaning art that doesn't have that "professional" look that commercialized art has, will we actually find our authentic voice. Until we find and use our authentic voice, we're not making art, we're just going through the motions.
Jeka - Thank you for taking the time to write your comment. I respond to every single commentor at least once out of respect for the time they took to watch a video and to communicate.
I hope you’re having a better day.
This video makes me so happy. I have so many art journal pages I don't like and the idea of going back to them and painting over them with wild abandon speaks to me so much! Thank you for your joyful painting and sharing your process and enthusiasm! And of course, I love any excuse to use my stash of painted papers for collage!
question- Is it okay to use acrylic paint with cling or rubber stamps or will it destroy them?
And hooray for the Light Phthalo Blue. I am coveting that color for sure!
Go get it, Robin! Re-fill those sketchbook pages until they all make your heart sing 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio I am taking a collage class right now where we are using limited palettes of three primaries, white and black and since phthalo blue is one of my primaries, I believe the light Phthalo blue would fit in perfectly. I suppose I could mix it myself but where’s the fun in that 🤣
I’m curious if you make notes about your experimentation in your sketchbook?
Sometimes I do if it is unique specific to a piece in the sketchbook. If it's a more general observation, or result of an experiment I write it in my "studio" sketchbook which is not reliant on a specific piece I've created. Great question, Donna! 🥰
ok comment gone 😢… Short: I ❤ all your work snd now after alot of gelli paintings and others I would like to start a mix media sketchbook… and start to experiment on my own with my lovely pieces…
I am surprised always that your lovely piece which is already cool turns out so beautiful ❤ how do you do this 😅
will check but if not can you recommend a sketchbook that works for this kind of art?? thanks in advance ❤❤
Thank you BeKi. I love any sketchbook that has heavier paper and a spiral biding. The spiral binding in mush more forgiving and expands when your sketch book pages are loaded with layers of papers/paint. I prefer to collage on watercolor paper, specifically 140lb (300 g) because it can hold up to a lot. My current favorite is the Canson Cold Press sketchbook - there's a direct link to it in the video description. Have fun filling up your pages! 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio Thank you for answering… I am from Germany but the videos from you and others from USA are much cooler to me to watch 😅🥰 But I bought now a A4 aquarell mix media sketchbook from amazon (so similar) from a different brand. Ohuhu or sthg like this 😅🩷🙏🏻
Hey Jackie. Seems my sketch book papers are way too thin. What grade do you prefer for your sketchbooks? Mine are 200gsm or less. I don’t bother w/acid free for my ‘learning’ series. Most are larger than 9x12. The bigger the better is best for my practice times. Any suggestions?
Hi Trina! My Canson's and Arteza's are all 180 gsm, while my Stillman & Birn sketchbooks are 270 gsm (and indestructible 😂). I have had really good luck with the 180 gsm pages - even for really wet techniques. But no joke, the 270 gsm is awesome!
Great video!! Do you have a link for your confetti punch tool? 🤩
Thank you, SuZen! I didn't realize that it was not listed in the supplies. It is now - just scroll down to the bottom of the list. You're going to love it! 😍
@@PaintedPaperStudio thank you!!
I am looking for good sized art journal that has good gaulity art paper. I watched your video and clicked the link on your art journal that you use and read the mixed reviews. Are you still using this particular art journal or have you found a better quality art journal. I am looking for at least 9x12 or 11x15 because I like to paint bigger scale. If you have any recommendations on a great art journal It would be so appreciated.
I love your channel and art. I come here for inspiration and to watch your videos to learn and watch your creative process. Kindest regards !
Hi Nia - thank you for your kind words! I love this journal - for the way I use it. Generally that means heavy applications of paints and/or collage. It holds about to a lot of use. Having said that, I've never used it for more delicate works, like ink or watercolor - it could make a difference. One of the things I like most about it is that it is spiral bound so both sides lay flat. I hope this helps and good luck in finding the perfect journal for your needs. 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio Thank You so much. I found 300gsm,160lb art journal and it is working out really well and getting me through all the layers and for ever changes I am always doing with my abstract to find my happy place. I subscribed to your channel.
