I'm up late working on 4x6 wood grids listening to your video and it's so good to hear you express thoughts, unknowns, and what you love is what you do ... moods swings etc just so much of what I go through . Makes me feel more level in myself that it's not insanity it's just the process. And so thanks to you I'm working in grids and enjoying the process and discoveries! Thank you so much. ❤❤

I haven’t done grids for years; I think you’ve inspired me to start again. When you’re testing the collage pieces I’ll be saying “Oh look, there, put it there” and, nope, you move onto somewhere else. As you say, we could all have identical supplies but would each create a unique collage. The hand of the artist always shows… As always, you’re an inspiration.

18 Brilliant tiny masterpieces. You have such an intuitive knack for placement, contrast and composition. Yes it's easy to say that you just "glue it down" and maybe it feels like that for you. Watching you work through these was mesmerizing, each one taking shape piece by piece. I could see any one of them as larger pieces that would be brilliant. What a wonderful gift (for me) to work through the Sunday night blues! Be well!

love these. i always like watching your grid journal videos. so many ideas all at once. i’ve been struggling with the gel medium fingers lately too 😂😂😂 i have a stack of paint chips i should go revisit - all pink from when we were painting our bathroom, i think

These grid journals are just beautiful! Thanks for sharing your process.

Happy Sunday beautiful grid spread ❤

I love the color pallet!

Such beautiful colors together I love each little square🩵🩵🩵🩵

I LOVE LOVE YOUR ART

I am so happy to have found your channel. I have never made anything like this and am definitely going to try. I'm excited by the possibilities. Thank you again! The result is so fantastic and absolutely love watching you get there.

I can’t wait to try this. Thank-you! 🩵💛🩵

This was very inspiring! Thank you! This is the one that will get me started on actually doing a grid journal...instead of just thinking lol.

I love this exercise Jackie! I’m going to try.

Its ironic how tiny abstracts offer such large amounts of learning. Ive done 6 at a time but keen now to try a twelver or 18 like you if im brave. Id like to use one palette but vary the materials/media on each set of six. It would be interesting to see the difference in the feel or look.

I think of artistic style akin to our signature. It just is and we discover it as we go. As always, I loved this video Jackie. I always look forward to what you will do. This grid journaling has really set my exploration to a whole new level and I learn so much from these exercises. Thank you Jackie for your generous content.

Love the process and the final outcome, Jackie. The tree branch is genius!!! Thanks for always helping me look 'outside the box' regarding art tools and processes. I ❤️❤️❤️ that you're using paint chip cards...I thought I was the only one secretly hoarding them for crafting! I love to rubberstamp on them and diecut them for shapes to use in my artwork!

I love the results Jackie and this color combo is just beautiful. I started a grid journal inspired by you and I've got hooked. I cannot get hold of paint chips. But I have tons of collage papers and scraps that I use for collage. It really allows me to go wild. Sometimes the wild goes on to the 💩side, like that time I tried the yellows you're using here, which I absolutely love, but I had a bad day I guess :P and others I love the results. I love to devote a page to specific color combos, to try materials and colors that I don't really use, use some of those small tiny pieces of paper that I should have binned, you know... I usually do just 9 squares, 1 page, but it takes me hours! I find working on small formats quite challenging as the proportions and composition seem to be more important than when I use larger pieces of paper. I've also noticed that I tend to produce cool shapes that evolve from my initial asemic writing, and also 🤯... listen to this... I produce curvy abstracts as soon as I want to make something linear 🙃🤨 Looking forward to what you do next! Happy week. 💖

These are gorgeous, so much fun. Ive divided pages into 4, but will deffinately try the 2x2 grid. Just an observation, the far left bottom square had very little attention, but still a nice square, less is more sometimes 😊 Loved the video, thank you Jackie

Too funny we had a bedroom that needed to be painted right away. I went and got a bunch of swatches, long story short I ended up putting gesso on them and did a bunch of abstracts.

Gorgeous! :)

I LOVE THIS! I MAKE CARDS AND I WOULD MAKE THE BEST, LIKE THIS IF I COULD. GOING TO HOME DEPOT FOR CHIPS!! THANKS SO MUCH

love this

I tried this and loved the process. Thank u!

This is the best art grid video I’ve seen! Your voice is beautiful and your art is outstanding. Sharing your thoughts and instructions was very inspiring. I will subscribe and look for everything you do!

I have no idea how I ended up on your tutorials, but mannnnn am I happy I did! I was searching for gelli plate examples. New subscriber here! You rock ♥

It's always magical to me how everything changes and comes together when black and white come in. And I must have the nickel azo gold, so beautiful. Wonderful Jackie, thank you!

I can't resist paint chips either!! So glad to see more grid journaling too. It's something I can do in an hour or two, instant results.

Love your videos Jackie! Also, I want to pass on the word that Golden has put out a ‘recipe’ for Nickel Azo Gold. 4 parts Transparent Red Iron Oxide to 1 part Nickel Azo Yellow. I haven’t tried it myself yet but on their video you can’t tell it apart from the original Nickel Azo Gold. 😊

Very nice... I don't have a great work area... it's making me nuts... but I drew out the squares... Jackie

Beautiful grids & using paint chips is an excellent idea.

I love when you do grid! I do them at least once a week now, love working in the tiny realm 😊 Thanks for sharing and your inspiration, Jackie ✌️

I LOVE this color palette! ❤ So fun to watch this process.

Love the colour combination, I´ll definitely try it. Thank you so much for sharing, I always enjoy your process and the results 🤗

Love it when you do the small stuff -- lots of people do grid journals but I think you're the only one I've seen who treats each little pane as though it were a full-blown composition (which may be why it took you so long, especially since you didn't just grab the collage papers which would have made things a lot simpler). I've said this before, but I am *so* *grateful* to live in a time when abstract art is possible -- no one in the history of the human world has ever put those colors and patterns together before in that particular way -- I can understand why you take the time making decisions in this process because you are literally re-inventing the world. Wonderful as always ❤🧡💛 (P.S. You should have a t-shirt made that says "It's gloss medium.")

Hey Jackie!! I love your grid journal videos! I actually tried something like this with my painting students. But I’d love to know where you get that specific sketchbook? The size is perfect. I’d really appreciate it if happen to know where you got it. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us ❤

I struggle the same way with my abstract landscape attempts. 🤦‍♀️

Thanks, the videos are very informative and exciting. I wonder where to buy paint chips or to paint them?

Hey Jackie!! Quickie question: Is Nickle Azo Yellow a replacement for Quinacradone Gold? I know that makers couldn't find the pigment any longer to make our favorite, addictive color, but I never knew if the NAY was it's replacement. Love your grid art always!! I wish I could do it but I am stuck in 3" X 3". That 2" X 2" challenges me to almost the point of furious frustration. Have an awesome week and thank you so much for being willing to share your talent with us!!

These are one of the most favorite ones I’ve seen you do. Love the colors and shapes. Are the Neo1 colors more waxy than the II’s? They do not have oil, right?

Hello, it is very pretty. What is the size of your watercolor sketchbook, please?
