Day 19 | #30daysofcreativepractice with @wendybrightbill Art Prompt - MONOCHROMATIC ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I chose pink as my color of choice and snapped this photo while I was working in my journal. This, my friends, is all you will see from me for this prompt. Yep! There are no words to describe the result of my attempt at monochromatic. Let's just say that it borders on Pepto-Bismal meets tutti fruitti with icing on top!😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #makeitclaimit #makeitclaimittools #claimyourhappy #artistandtechsavvy #techsavvyartist #robenmarie #creativespaces
Need a little inspiration when you sit down to work in your art journal? Just look back at what you've already created! I do this often to find inspiration within my own pages! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These journals were made in my Salvaged: a Layered Pieces Journal workshop. Want to make your own? Let me guide you through an in-depth, hands-on study of the architecture of an art journal I nicknamed “DJ”- short for Dictionary Journal. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Link in bio and then just click the Workshops button.😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #makeitclaimit #makeitclaimitjournals #claimyourhappy #artistandtechsavvy #techsavvyartist #robenmarie #artjournaling
Day 18 | #30daysofcreativepractice with @wendybrightbill Art Prompt - CONTRAST ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It felt natural for me to choose black as one of my colors. So, I mixed it with pink for this prompt. I used watercolor, acrylic, oil pastels, pencils and tape. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For this one, I worked in my Salvaged Journal, affectionately known as DJ. Interested in making one of your own?

Day 17 | #30daysofcreativepractice with @wendybrightbill Art Prompt - MINIMALISM ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Watercolor, acrylic paint and oil pastels: A FARAWAY PLACE - 9" x 12" on paper. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #makeitclaimit #makeitclaimitart #claimyourhappy #artistandtechsavvy #techsavvyartist #robenmarie #abstractart
There is nothing quite like bonding over art supplies and if Trader Joe's Ginger Snaps are part of the deal, I am there! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I flew to California yesterday to spend time with my friend @susananng It rained all day here, so it was the perfect day for some creating. Sometimes the supplies are as beautiful as the art, right?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #makeitclaimit #makeitclaimittools #claimyourhappy #techsavvyartist #artistandtechsavvy #watercolors #carveouttimeforart #robenmarie
Day 15 | #30daysofcreativepractice with @wendybrightbill Art Prompt - MASKING ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Working with the @gelliarts #gelliplate is always a load of fun! I couldn't help but add in other bits to finish it off. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #makeitclaimit #makeitclaimitart #makeitclaimitjournals #claimyourhappy #artistandtechsavvy #techsavvyartist #robenmarie #artjournals
Day 14 | #30daysofcreativepractice with @wendybrightbill Art Prompt - SMOOSH PAINT ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Smoosh painting is not as easy as it looks. There are so many layers on this canvas, it will take a fork lift to hang it!😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I call this one "Hidden Flowers" for the bits of leaves and petals that are poking through. Hubby says he sees a tomato and that is okay with me! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #makeitclaimit #makeitclaimitart #claimyourhappy #artistandtechsavvy #techsavvyartist #robenmarie #paintedflowers
Day 11 | TURNING POINT with @taraleaver and #21daysinmyartworld ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There was a turning point in my evolution as an artist that was very unexpected. I took a class with mixed media artist, Traci Bautista in Hampton, VA, where I was teaching at an art retreat. Up to that point, my style was very vintage and lacked color and vibrancy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Traci taught me how to embrace color in a way that stopped me in my tracks. My world was literally exploding with vibrant color and after class I filled my hotel room with works of saturated color. Every surface in my room was covered with drying art pieces. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That experienced changed how I viewed color and myself. I realized that I had been shying away from the use of color as I felt that was the domain of “real artists.” My fears and presuppositions were erased and my confidence grew. I became a different artist that day, embracing both color and my talent in a new way. It changed everything! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #makeitclaimit #makeitclaimitart #techsavvyartist #artjournals #robenmarie #mixedmedia
