I'm not going to lie, Reader, this week's video was exciting to make, but it was last minute, I mean really last minute - and the editing had me stressed (it always does). But...

​

I was so late filming and editing this week's video because I was distracted - in the best way.

​

It started as a kernel of an idea, blew up to gigantic proportions, and then settled on a solid idea for creating a workshop that (I think) you would L.O.V.E.

​

I am still working out the outline, the timing, and the technology, but soon I'll have a workshop in place. I plan to transport you (virtually) into a day in my studio doing all sorts of experimenting, exploring, and creating together.

​

So hang tight - I will have more information soon-ish, but for now, know that you will be the first to know.

​

What you should know now

​

I've decided that everyone on my mailing list will have first dibs on registering (once I have a way for you to register 😂).

​

When the workshop registration is full, it's full - and I want you to experience it. That's why I will give you the first opportunity to join me. 🥰

​

If you watch(ed) this week's video, you'll hear me mention the workshop and...

​

You don't have to do a thing.

You do not need to click the link in the description.

You do not need to sign up for the mailing list.

You will get the notification automatically since you are

already part of my community. 😍

​

One Request

​

Since I am in the planning and outlining stage of the workshop, I would love to know what you would like to learn or experience.

​

If it resonates with me and it's something I could help you with, I may be able to add it in (or create another workshop, too! 😉).

​

So please reply to this email and tell me what you would like to see in a workshop from me. I look forward to hearing from you, Reader.

This Week's Video

In this one, I let loose with some bright colors and a great attitude - moving the paint around enthusiastically while ignoring any old "voices" that get in the way of my joy around creating.

I'd love for you to watch and embrace the spirit of what I shared. 🥰

​

I'm heading into the studio now to create day 1 of 100 5-minute painted papers for the #100DayProject. If you haven't yet, follow me on Instagram or search on the hashtag #100DaysofPaintedPapers2024 (feel free to use that hashtag, too, if you're participating in the project.)

​

Have a wonderful week!

xo,

Jackie

Painted Paper Studio March 23, 2024 Hello Reader, I spent the week entirely reworking and re-filming a video on creating transparent mark-making papers. Sexy, right? I had an idea about finishing touches and elevating your art that I wanted to share with you, but the idea got lost in the effort, so I started over. Twenty-five years ago, I had a business creating custom finishes for furniture and cabinetry—I loved that work! I learned that creating a gorgeous finish was not about painting a...

Painted Paper Studio February 5, 2023 Hi Reader! Over the last few months, several of you have written, asking how I schedule or structure my studio time (none of you used the word structure, but it's what fits best here 😀). So here's the very, very short version and the more extended version is below. Please do me a favor; after you've read, please reply and tell me what a "studio" day is like for you. A Day in My Studio Very Short Version Drink coffee Internet exploration Do my...

Painted Paper Studio January 12, 2024 Ever find yourself going down a strange internet rabbit hole, only to stumble across something you can never "un-see?" Last Sunday, I spent the day in bed - a cross between severe jet lag and a bad cold. While scrolling the interwebs, I ran across the following quote, and I've been thinking about its relevance ever since. “ No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river, and he is not the same man. — Heraclitus After considering...
