Q: What sewing machine do you use? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A: I did not invest too much money into my sewing machine. I got it at a store called Tuesday Morning. It does have buttons so I can change the stitch type if I want, which is nice, but it's not a complicated machine. I do not recommend a "craft" sewing machine because they don't handle sewing on paper and thicker mixed media projects very well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My machine is no longer available, but I believe you could find a good one for between $100-$200. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #techsavvyartist #artjournaling #artjournals #makearteveryday #robenmarie #pursuepretty #calledtobecreative #livecolorfully #artlovers #artwork #artistic_share #mixedmedia #journalforlife #creativeuprising #inthestudio #mixedmediajournal #visualjournal #junkjournal #collageartwork #themakers #artistlife #creativelifehappylife #createmakeshare #wearethemakers #makersmovement #watercolorflowers #liveauthentic #visualjournal #salvagedjournalworkshop #weallneedart
I bought the Caran d’Ache NEOART Aquarelle water-soluble wax pastels some time ago. They are chunky and the colors are quite vivid. They are great for mark making but you can also rub them onto a palette and pull the color with a wet brush. You can also rub a wet brush to the tip of the pastels to grab the color. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #techsavvyartist #techieartist #art #artbusiness #artist #artsy #artsupplies #artstudio #solopreneur #makearteveryday #inthestudio #artspace #calledtobecreative #creative #robenmarie #sketchbook #creativeinspiration #studiospace #artpractice #thehappynow #dowhatyoulove #choosejoy #creativeentrepreneur #createeveryday #livethelittlethings #creativelifehappylife #createmakeshare #wearethemakers #makersmovement #waxpastels
For years I have been scanning my art and using Photoshop to level up my art, creating artist papers and more. I've been asked about what scanner I use. I have an Epson V550 Scanner. In my research, Epson is an excellent scanner for artists and is affordable, too. My favorite is to print the papers and cut, tear and collage them in my journal.❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks @wendybrightbill @sandikeene and @raemissigman for painty inspiration! #techsavvyartist #digitalart #digitalarts #digitalartist #mixedmedia #artist #digiart #studiotime #inthestudio #colorlove #livelifecolorfully #markmaking #artistlife #robenmarie #artsy #makearteveryday #lifeiscreative #pursuepretty #calledtobecreative #livecolorfully #creative #solopreneur #creativepreneur #girlboss #createeveryday #watercolorart #arttips #paperlovers #weallneedart #repurposedart

I LOVE making digital prints from my art. This digital print was created by layering two scans of my original art in photoshop. Tweak the layers and voila!💗 Thanks @wendybrightbill @raemissigman and @sandikeene for painty inspiration! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #techsavvyartist #digitalart #digitalarts #digitalartist #mixedmedia #artist #digiart #studiotime #instaartist #colorlove #livelifecolorfully #markmaking #claimyourhappy #robenmarie #artsy #makearteveryday #instaart #inthestudio #pursuepretty #calledtobecreative #livecolorfully #creative #solopreneur #creativepreneur #girlboss #createeveryday #watercolorart #arttips #paperlovers
