100 Days of Art Botanical: Days 44 - 52

I read something last week that strongly resonated with me: "New goals don't deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results." - James Clear

I LOVE, love, love these mixed media collages.  They combine so many of the things I love to do: gelatin printing, stamping, stenciling, drawing, painting, collage, patterns, and art journaling.  But I don't think that I could have gotten to these without all of the years of working on each of those skills individually. I don't think that I could have gotten to these without the 100 Day Project forcing me to try new things.  I don't think I could have gotten to these without having put in the time to study design elements & principles and reflect on my own personal style.  

It is, as James Clear says, by focusing on process that you get better results.

The success of much of my artwork requires having all the little bits and bobs I need lying around.  If you're interested in learning more about my art making process, sign up for my live online two-part class: Art Parts: A Formula for Making Art Quickly & Easily.  You can read more details about class HERE.
