We are VAST. We are INFINITE

We are VAST. We are INFINITE

Numbers 17-25 .... continuing to make these abstract collages... being very mindful to stay in a head space where I am not trying to make “something” or compose a specific image ... staying loose is the name of the game ... my intention is 54 of these ... to keep pushing past blocks , to keep letting go and allowing things to happen , to stay curious and engaged, to be light and effortless , to not be attached to the outcome or over think ... so that’s what I got going on this summer 😉#studiolife #blueskinstudio #artexercise #miniart #mixitup #moderncollage #colorlove #makearteveryday #abstractart #abstractcollage #stayloose #artoftheday #mixedmediacollage #marlenekoenigart #practice #shapeandcolor
So strange how I can find a group of random shapes so satisfying ...what’s up with that ???...#experimentsincollage #moderncollage #mixedmedia #artwarmup #blueskinstudio #artexercise #marlenekoenigart #minimilistart #contemporarycollage #abstractart #mixitup #makearteveryday #illustration #wordtraintopknobb #upcomingbook #artjournalpages

And so it begins the first 6 abstract collages that will become #WORDTRAIN ....a collaboration of words and mixed media ...with @wordtrain108 ..I am thoroughly loving working So abstractly ....bits of words and ephemera ..composing minimalist shapes and design ...nothing more #minimalistvibes #moderncollage #mixedmediacollage #collaboration #blueskinstudio #ephemera #shapeandcolor #marlenekoenigart #modernart #contemporarycollageart #makearteveryday #makeartoutofeverything#abstractart #illustrations #artexercise
Getting ready to hit the road ... and it is always a challenge to shrink my studio down to essential travel supplies, but this is what I got going on this year : Liquitex Gouache .. yummy Coptic Multiliner ( 3 sizes ) Speedball Mixed Media Art Journal (5”x5”) Bee Paper spiral bound drawing Journal (6”x6”) Glue Stick ( always handy ) 3 paint brushes ( chubby ,normal & bony ) 3 pencils ( soft , hard , mechanical) Sharpener Eraser ( I probably shouldn’t) White paint pens ( absolute Favorite!!) And finally old credit card ( surprisingly useful) I WOULD HONESTLY LOVE TO HEAR WHAT YOU PUT IN YOUR TRAVEL ART KIT ????? #studiolife #blueskinstudio #artkit #traveljournal #artjournal #myfavoriteartsupplies #marlenekoenigart #makearteveryday #makearteverywhere #travelingartist #artontheroad #arttogo #paintingexercise
Experiment in Black & White #3 ...and THIS IS WHAT I HAVE LEARNED : 1 I often keep all my shapes the same size ..leading to boring paintings 2. I often keep all the color values at a 1 or 10 leading to boring paintings 3. I have not paid enough attention to the more subtle aspects of my work ..leading to boring work 4. Often I stop mid way through a piece of ..art ..and “ just call it done “ because I am afraid ... afraid of messing up that one perfect little corner 😏...leading to safe Art 5. I need to paint more and sometimes I need to paint less ..... 🤨...its all very annoying! 😜😜😜#experimentinblackandwhite #blackandwhite #colorvalues #artexercise #makearteveryday #artpractice #modernart #abstractpainting #blueskinstudio #marlenekoenigart #shapes #studiolife
