 Hey guys, how are you today? So I am here to bring you a new thing for YouTube that we're gonna try We're gonna see how you all like it, and I'm gonna finish cutting these out while we're chatting So this is gonna be I think a new series on YouTube We're gonna call it the five-minute challenge Now there's other five-minute challenge videos out there on YouTube most of them from what I've seen are Beauty and makeup related They're not art related So but there are five-minute journal pages out there videos they have different names But we're gonna try some on my page They call it the five-minute challenge this is page one and This week is gonna be about collage So I'm gonna try each time we do one of these We're gonna have a different theme. It's not really a prompt Something we're gonna try You're literally gonna make a page in five minutes. I know call me crazy I can hear y'all saying it already Time challenges are really great though for loosening you up Getting you not to think so much and Analyze your art too much and just freely create so for this particular week I've gone ahead and chosen my image already and Some words from my word box that I want to use on the page I'm gonna set those aside and as you saw just I already pre-cut them out do that before you set your timer Also Choose your supplies you're gonna use before you set your timer Because you're not gonna have time once that timer gets started you aren't gonna have time to go digging around for stuff You're gonna need a pen or a pencil At least three colors of paint I've chosen quedocratone Nicolazo gold I've got some titanium white and then some blue. What color is this blue turquoise blue? I've got some Sharpie gel highlighters I've got a Shiva oil stick oil paint stick in Antique white. Let's go ahead and open it because we're not gonna have time to open it after we get started It's like a giant oil paint crayon I've got a stabilo Woody pencil it's a fat like a stabilo all pencil, but it's a fat giant one and this is in just a blue color Know if it has a color number 880 slash 450. I don't know blue. I've got a graphite crayon and a couple colors of Bombay Acrylic ink that I got for I got a whole set of them for Christmas for my husband and I picked out two colors. Look you see I already have black stuff on me. I haven't even gotten started yet. Yeah, anyway So I'm not sure I'm gonna use them all but I've got them I also have my winter Newton mixed media watercolor kit. I've shown this on camera before recently This is just an inexpensive winter Newton travel kit that I use for doing mixed media stuff like this I don't care if I use my acrylic paint brush in it. It's not precious if I get ink in the in it and Contaminated it's not a big deal. It's just for doing mixed media stuff with so we're gonna get that wet before we get Started because we're not gonna have time for that either Let's move this over just a little bit make sure I'm still on camera and We will pick out some brush at least one brush. Let's just do one brush Let's choose a filbert. I Like a filbert. This is just you sort of a medium-sized filbert number 12 All right, we've got our timer here, which I'm gonna actually place Like right here where you guys can see it. This is set for five minutes on my phone Let's zoom you in just a little bit as much as I can and still get Everything on camera that I think you're gonna want to see I need to move some of the supplies out of the way Should we get going now? All right, so get everything all set up before you get started That's the easiest thing to do and let's set our timer and let's go and I'll be right back I'm not going to speed forward through it, but I will probably put some music, but it's gonna be in real time Five minutes. All right, I'll be back Just five minute challenge page it's messy and chunky and Grungy and I love it. Could I do more to it? Well, sure. I could always do more, but that's not the point the point is to have fun to be free and to play and Hopefully come away from each page that you do Having learned something that you either like or don't like that you want to use in future pages. That's kind of the point. So To that end I love this. I love the color combination. I love the fact that I Got my fingers messy I got a little bit of my inks in there. It's fabulous So I'm gonna let it dry and we will be back in a week or so with another page I hope you enjoy the challenge. If you make some pages doing the five minute challenge I'd love to see them join my Facebook group, which is in the links below in the description below the video and Share them over there and show me what you've done. I would love to see them All right, that's it for right now where everybody go out and have a great day I hope you've had a happy new year and don't forget to do something nice for yourself because you deserve it I'll see you later
