Sometimes being into the arts means you just get a bunch of people together to record some music and noodle around on some instruments. Thankful to Nathan Thronson so hooking up our band Snack Break with some recording equipment. Also, if you haven’t seen Mollie Lendacky around yet, visit her at the new Family Resource Center in Chisholm! Located right inside the bus garage of the High School. Who wouldn’t want to hang out with this goober?!

You know, I have always had a fascination for seeing the potential in things and then trying to figure out how to make the numbers crunch so that I can make them beautiful and artistic in a way that does more than make me comfortable. I want other people to be comfortable with how it looks and feels. I want them to feel welcome. I seem to always do things like “start a business” in a way that stretches me so far to the edge of my comfort zone that I’d like to take a hot cry every couple days when I look at the level of free fall I feel, not knowing if it’s going to work out or what I will do if the Lord doesn’t come through. But somehow, He never fails. I fail all the time, but somehow the expectations for myself just get higher when I finally get things figured out to try again the next time. And that’s where I am so silly to just not remember that I am not the one that opens the doors. I am just the door knocker to see if they will open. And in the right time, the right ones do. I am so thankful for that in this journey of art and life! P.S. shameless plug for the house I have for sale in Eveleth! Check it out, it’s lovely!! Haha buy houses so I can also keep making the art gallery amazing! For real, the market has some great inventory right now in Minnesota.

I really had no idea this was a thing to choose your commentary triads and then mix them with their compliments to get your shading colors. I feel like every day is a new adventure of learning and experimenting to see how it will come out. Thanks John Michael Cook for sharing so much of your wisdom.

Mind blowing, but for me, I’m finding it sooooo tricky to master! The other thing that has increased my speed at recognizing the color to shade with has been being outside for painting in natural light. I never knew why I wasn’t getting the right light perspective until I realized I wasn’t mixing opposite of the color wheel to get the right shade. This has really increased my speed of progress in my own art journey.

I never really under base color background blocking and how this is important before trying to get too detailed on one part of your painting so that you can set the stage in color for the mood and pallete style you’re hoping to create. This lesson from John Michael Cook on color wheels has really been very helpful for me in getting to some of the roots or why it takes me so long to get up and going on something.

When someone says, “You’re painting off pallete,” it actually has to do with the fact that there are colors that you have added to your work that don’t match the rest of the pallete. Your work will strike the eye differently if you paint this way. Making sure that your background colors that you layer your canvas with is “on pallete” will make a significant difference in the end result of how realistic your work looks when attempting to emulate reality. I learn something every day it feels like! Thanks John Michael Cook for the lesson!

Part of the issue I see all the time with artists, and even in my own art sometimes, is that we are wrapped up in our own anxiety of perfection and an overwhelming fear of failure. Sometimes you need to break from your medium of choice and just do something for the sake of experiencing new rhythms and ideas. Creating with no expectations and no experience can help you rebuild the confidence to try again at what you love most. Something I have been learning about is that when you wake up in the morning, your body naturally produces cortisol (stress hormone) to get you awake, but if you’re feeling anxious or stressed about creativity it can make you feel like you’re failing before you even start. Call it what it is and reassure yourself that facing the day isn’t that scary. You’re just experiencing the rush of waking up, and you do not need to fear what you desire to accomplish. Starting with something that has no expectations on it is a great warm up to practicing your skills. That is exactly why athletes stretch and musicians sing scales. Do not fear, just create. Send this encouragement to someone who needs it today :)

Well, I have been trying to do more acrylic painting outside. Apparently it is the fastest way to grow your skills and learn how natural shadows work. It was an experience, but I’m getting used to trying more so that is good. I learned that as the sun goes down I start mixing my pallete colors to match what I see but it’s darker than what I originally wanted because the colors of the light changed around me. So now I stop trying to fight with the dusk and wait till another day.

There are so many color tubes of paint at the store, and it just blows my mind that the more I talk with painters, the more I realize they aren’t using most of them to make their best work because they want to stay on pallete with their painting colors. I never knew that if you don’t have the right pallete match to your original primary paint colors, and just grab an off the shelf additional green etc just to use it in your painting, it could make your painting bounce to the eye in a way where it doesn’t look natural because it could be off pallete for what you are intending to paint. This is why having a color wheel to start with is so important. Tell me about your experiences with this! I’d love to know.
