I want to share one of my most favorite art tips with you today. First I will start by sharing that one of my most favorite art processes is mark making. I also love the print making process. I get extreme joy creating āfodderā for mixed media pieces with these. They can become solo pieces and be part of my art journal as well. I sometimes (not always) have an idea of what I will use them for & add to them later to create a finished art piece. I will store what I donāt immediately use. This helps me be prepared with material when I am in a small creativity time slot or get inspiration. This was created with large bubble wrap I saved from a package I received. The paint is some my son created art with that I didnāt want to waste. I got to create much more than what is pictured. This photo is of my art journal, some greeting cards, & paper for collage or solo piece later. I will add to all of this later to create completed art. The best part is that the process of doing this is fulfilling in itself. š„°
Tip: Use up paint to create bulk by gathering a variety of ācanvasesā beforehand for a variety of canvases & material to play with later. You also can use up any paint you donāt want to waste this way!
