Liebe Marabeth, dieses Video ist sehr, sehr gut um den Prozess der Arbeit mit den übereinander liegenden, durchscheinenden Farbschichten zu verstehen. Auch für Lasuren mit Acrylfarben. Deine Erklärungen, nicht zu früh an Komposition zu denken und an einzelnen Teilen nicht zu lange festzuhalten, haben mir sehr geholfen. Ich werde jetzt in diesem Sinne an einem Bild weitermachen, bei dem ich feststeckte. Danke für Deine sehr persönlichen, offenen Tipps für unseren kreativen Prozess.
I’m so happy you find it helpful. Truly, I love talking about what has taken me years to learn simply because I hope that it might help others get unstuck too. Thanks for taking the time to comment. 🥰
I can't thank you enough for this lesson. I didn't even watch until the end because I felt compelled to go to my art room and immediately went over a piece I was not loving. It's so liberating! 💛
Thanks Jill, I realized after that I tend to use cooking analogies a lot. Which is good for fellow cooks, but probably annoying to people that don’t care about it 😆
Thank you, Marabeth, for showing this process, the message of losing attachment, and being so generous. This helped me a lot. And... what a beautiful result!
You are Great. When I first found you on RUclips, I was more interested in learning what paint colors and what techniques to use so I did not find that your Verbal instruction and inspiration was valuable. But now I realize how valuable it is. I guess that’s part of my evolution and you are helping me evolve my painting and collaging. I thank you immensely for your insights.
I’m so happy that you’ve found it helpful, Joanie! I think many of us don’t think about the internal part when we are trying to create, but eventually you discover that it’s driving everything. Such a huge realization! 🤗
I love this! Thank you for articulating glimmers I’ve seen but needed to look at more closely and for longer! I love your contemplation and analysis! And your art! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your generosity. I love your work, and your wise words. Thank you for sharing ; your words resonate with me on different levels and I am inspired. Thank you.
I love your gentle approach Marabeth. You've inspired me to start painting this way. I'm only able to paint for small amounts of time as life is 'curvy' at the moment 😔 I'm looking forward to being able to take your class. Much love from Angela (in Western Australia 🙂) ❤
I understand that-sometimes I spends hours each day painting, other times I can’t get to my studio for days. It’s not all about time, which is good news! Thanks for the comment. 😊
Hi Marabeth. Thank you so very much for your amazing demonstrations. Your art inspires me to dive in and not be afraid to be me in anything I create. Your insight into life and the artistic comparisons with all it's complexities touches a place in me where healing begins. I'm sure I would not be alone in feeling this. I do hope one day you feel inspired to write a book. I have no doubt it would be a tonic for many. 🙂
Hi Catherine, I couldn’t be more happy to hear that anything I said made you feel inspired to just boldly be you with your art. I think it does take bravery and also a bit of reconditioning of how we think about it. Your kind words have made my day-thank you. 🥰
Really helpful. Thank you. I struggle with putting things down and knowing where to go, I know I’m an over thinker. I’m in a state of constantly asking questions and puzzling things out. I need to find delight in just putting things out there whether they work right now or not, and just keep doing it for a while, then work on bringing it together. It’s like a sandbox, you have to fill it with sand before you start making castles.
I love your words, “I need to find delight in just putting things out there whether they work right now or not”-so insightful! I’ve found that even doing exercises where you have NO intention of making something attractive, but just finding delight in the process can be really beneficial in actually getting to new discoveries and things to explore. Thanks for the comment 😊
I absolutely adore your work! You musings are so helpful! I can so relate to everything you said in this video. I’m a mixed media artist myself, and my work usually starts very chaotic as well. I try to play for a long time before I decide what to keep and what to let go, but boy is that process of editing difficult. I am getting better at it. Interestingly, in life, I have no trouble accepting that things come and go, and that it is an ebb and flow. But when it comes to my work, and the hours and materials I put into it I have a much harder time. Thank you for your insightful videos, I always look forward to the next one!
Hi Annette! I agree that the editing phase can be tricky-it’s probably the hardest part for me. Not just in letting go of things I’ve labored over, but also the composition element is always more challenging for me. I think that’s why I’ve had to work on my mindset so much and attempt to reframe the way I look at the labor I put in; if I don’t, I can get super hung up and not be able to move forward. Thanks so much for the comment 😊
Do you use straight glazing liquid to glue down all of your papers? I looked on the Golden site and didn’t see it listed as a standalone recommended application. I’m wondering about the archival longevity using it, especially for the heavier papers. The depth you achieve is wonderful and the piece is amazing.
Thank you, I so appreciate the kind words. I almost exclusively use it, but with heavier papers I might use the gel mediums or seek out another solution just to be safe. With these lighter papers I use, it works wonderfully and I’ve tried to get them off the surface before and couldn’t. 😆
Bravo❤. I'm wondering if the flo and the letting go that you are discussing is easier for people who have little to no color theory or fine art background? If your answer is yes then I will be VERY happy! 😄
Well, I’m certainly only an authority on myself, but I would think that there is always the potential of knowledge or education to become something that gets in the way of just going with it. But getting in the flow has been a practice for me-I’ve had to learn ways of encouraging it, of thinking so it’s more likely, etc. And letting go is challenging, no matter what subject you’re trying to engage on; our brains don’t necessarily feel safe just letting go and trusting the process but I think we can retrain that little by little. Thanks for watching, Patty!
I have two classes: my newest class, Mixed Media Collage and the Intuitive Landscape can be found here marabethquinart.thinkific.com/courses/mixed-media-collage-and-the-intuitive-landscape and the second class is Introduction to Collage: Learning to Paint with Paper can be found here: marabethquinart.thinkific.com/courses/paint-with-paper Let me know if I can answer any questions for you marabeth@marabethquinart.com
I know that you are an artist, but I think you should also start writing your thoughts during the creative process. It strikes me that you are very poetic, so your poetry might appeal to artists.
I have thought about it, Dianne. I never wrote poetry until the last couple years-it’s a great way for me to express my feelings. But I would like to write a book one day about the creative process. Thanks for your sweet encouragement ❤️

YES! I love to hear this! That really makes me very happy. ❤️
Really like the analogy of “throwing everything out of your pantry…..”. As always, love your creations and attitude!
Thanks Jill, I realized after that I tend to use cooking analogies a lot. Which is good for fellow cooks, but probably annoying to people that don’t care about it 😆
Thank you for this share. I completely resonate with this process. The canvas is indeed a portal to ALL of who we are. Bless you!
I agree, Denise! The process is so illuminating! Thanks for watching and commenting 😊

I just loved watching put on all the layers. It’s beautiful ❤
Thank you so much, Michele! 😊
Thank you so much for your generosity. I love your work, and your wise words. Thank you for sharing ; your words resonate with me on different levels and I am inspired. Thank you.
You are so welcome and I’m thrilled that it’s helpful!
Thank you for sharing your process. I always wondered about the purpose of “painting over” of layers but the way you explained it was just beautiful.
Glad it was helpful! For me, the way I think about what I’m doing is huge. Thanks for the comment!

@@marabethquinart That’s a great suggestion for an exercise! I will give that a go. Thank you!
My pleasure
Your works are so beautiful and made me excited .I want to try and make a painting as beautiful as yours 😁
Thank you so much 😀. I’ve said that many times about other artist’s paintings, so I get it. It keeps me practicing and sticking with it

Sarah Burns Studio, Scotland workshop video 2 days ago....Ann😊
I'll check it out! Thanks Ann! 😘
Marabeth, are you using Nova colors for this painting??
No, I just got my Nova paints this christmas and haven’t used them a whole bunch yet-I’m already loving them though
You’re my muse😊❤️🤗
🥰🥰. Thanks Bridget!
