The Evolution of My Art - The Path to My Collage Practice #mixedmedia #collageartist #artprocess

While my creative practice has transformed over the years, one thing has remained consistent: My use of found, repurposed, remnant, and upcycled materials. Today, I'm reflecting on the stages of my practice that led me to where I am now. I noticed that, every time I changed directions, I retained something from the journey that led me to explore new avenues of my work. What parts of your journey, in art or in life, led you to where you are now? Please share your thoughts in the comments below! Cozy up, relax, and enjoy the process. __________________________ Tools list: ❀ stretched canvas (repurposed) ❀ white primer ❀ large brush for primer ❀ liquid glue ❀ small paintbrush for glue ❀ foam plate ❀ jar of water ❀ collage scraps Want to make your own art?

I'm Dani Michaux Samson - your humble artist and host. I create abstract, analog mixed media collages with an array of materials that I have collected over the years. On this channel, you will find that my process is laid back and light on the tutorial front. I'm more of a "think-out-loud" kinda gal. You might hear some tips on technique, but my ultimate goal is to bring you into the mind of an artist and provide a peaceful and thought-provoking experience. Sort of like an art vlog. No expertise necessary. PS - All completed artworks are approved by my feline studio assistants, Dahlia and Clover. They will often stop by to check on me while I’m filming, so look out! ❀ SUBSCRIBE! ❀ Don’t miss the next video, and support my practice:    / @calicoflowerstudio   __________________________ Intro and outro music: “Never Come Down” by La Poré    • La Poré - Never Come Down (Official Music ...   __________________________ Links: ❀ Website: https://www.calicoflowerstudio.com/ ❀ Newsletter: https://calicoflowerstudio.us2.list-m... __________________________ Follow me: ❀ Instagram:   / calicoflowerstudio   ❀ TikTok:   / calicoflowerstudio
