Some days it’s easy to get lost in the marks. Some are intentional while others find their way into the piece organically. I’m experimenting with some darker colors today, which is always a challenge for me. _____________________ I’ve been playing a little bit of art tag with @sandikeene and enjoying the freedom of exploring new ideas. I loved Sandi’s last post where she incorporated bits and pieces of Gelli prints. She must know that those are my favorite. Can’t wait to see what colorful happiness she explores next. _____________________ #raeandsandiplayarttag #artexperiments #creativeartlife #markmakingjourney #createartmarkseveryday #artmarksandwords #artmarksarewhatido #artmarksjournal #artmarksmakemehappy #raemissigman #raeinthestudio #mixedmediaartmarks #instagramartmarkmaker #makerofartmarks #iamamakerofartmarks #ilovewhatimakeanddo #mixedmediaartstyle #artjournalingmylife

A little mono printing, a little pen work, and numbers. . My numbers come in the form of marks. It is a calming habit of mine to count the marks as I create them. Creating can be stressful. It shouldn’t be, it should be freeing, but sometimes we put pressure on ourselves to do more, be better, keep up, learn new things, and so we wind up creating out of our comfort zone. Sometimes I like to get back to the basics and just do what I love, like counting marks. What calms you down when you’re creating? . #BirgitKoopsengelliprintchallenge #artexperiments #creativeartlife #createartmarkseveryday #artmarksandwords #artmarksarewhatido #artmarksjournal #artmarksmakemehappy #raemissigman #raeinthestudio #mixedmediaartmarks #instagramartmarkmaker #makerofartmarks #iamamakerofartmarks #ilovewhatimakeanddo #mixedmediaartstyle #artjournalingmylife

I am experimenting with lots of juicy “under color” today. . Is that even a thing? Well I guess for me it is! I explored adding several layers of creamy color using oil pastels, followed by lots of marks and pen work. . I have been playing a game of art tag with @sandikeene, working and recording our experiments as we go. For her last post Sandi created bold beautiful painted circles that reminded me of modern geodes. I love the addition of her contrasting pen work and detail marks. Very much what I am crushing on right now. Maybe I will try something similar next go around. Sandi continues to surprise me so I’ll be waiting patiently for her next post. . #sandiandraeplayarttag #artexperiments #creativeartlife #createartmarkseveryday #artmarksandwords #artmarksarewhatido #artmarksjournal #artmarksmakemehappy #raemissigman #raeinthestudio #mixedmediaartmarks #instagramartmarkmaker #makerofartmarks #iamamakerofartmarks #ilovewhatimakeanddo #mixedmediaartstyle #artjournalingmylife
