AGT: I Am More

I can’t believe it’s August already, and my 7th tutorial is up for Donna Downey Studios Artist Gang. This week I just wanted to play in my journal. Read more about the process on my blog post over on Donna’s website.

Meet Nicole

I am a mixed media artist and photographer living in the Austin, Texas, area. After returning to school and finishing my degree in 2017 at Iowa State University, I created this website and began my YouTube channel. Creating has always been a part of me, and now I am excited to begin this new adventure sharing my art to the world. Check the about me tab to see my resume and portfolio. I'd love to connect with you! Drop me a comment on one of my blog posts or check out what I'm up to as I share glimpses from my studio and projects on Instagram.

⏩ the micaceous iron oxide from golden is so fun that I had to use it in both ledgers. It has some sparkle and texture, almost like fine sandpaper

#the100dayproject

For Week 12 I decided to pick 2 colors for each day and just make marks with my paintbrushes. Mission accomplished! now I have a huge variety of colors and marks. I think I will continue until I use up all my golden fluid acrylic colors. so, look forward to more marks in the week 13 pages!

#30minutethursdayart

It's ok.
to make bad art
to just play
to not feel like making art
to just show up
to not like what you made (but maybe like it the next day)
to take a break
to hide from social media
to be not okay (credit to imagine dragons for the song title but words above are mine)

lots of layers and just playing this week. process video up on YouTube (link in bio)

⏩ My plan this week is to make marks with 2 different colors of paint each day (technically, several in one day to catch up!). This will give me new colors of marks, and help me work on my mark making (and get this project over the finish line!). I painted the darker blue page second and I was so much more free with the + marks. I def like that better!

#30minutethursdayart My errands took much longer

#30minutethursdayart

My errands took much longer than planned yesterday - doesn't that always happen? So, I didn't get my 30 minute page finished. Welcome to 30 minute ThursFriday! (Process video up on YouTube, link in bio)

With no plan in mind at all, I literally grabbed whatever was on my desk to play with, including a bunch of ledger bits. Topped it off with some of the (new to me Groups version) Tim Holtz paper dolls - for some reason my package is really green (are they all this way?), so I tried to tone them down a bit.
