Misty Granade

You can visit my shop, read my blog, take a tour of my studio, or check out my portfolio. I love to chat, so send me an email or catch up with me on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.

Notes from the Studio

From time to time, I’ll send out a newsletter update. Since I’m still figuring this out, I am not imposing a schedule on myself or you! As things occur to me and I have news to share, I’ll send you a note.

Very low energy day. So low, I wasn’t going to make anything but I was listening to a gardening lecture so thought I’d just doodle with color. 🖍 #ArtBook #ArtJournal #CreativeJournal #ArtistBook #JournalArt #MixedMediaJournal #JournalSpread #VisualJournal #AnalogCollage #CollageMaker #MixedMedia #PaperTreasures #LittleScrapsOfPaper #CreativeWomen #LifeOfAnArtist #AlteredBook #CarveOutTimeForArt #GetMessyArtJournal #ALWCA #ArtistsOfAlabama #CreativePractice #DoItForTheProcess #ArtEveryDay

✨ Let’s talk about brushes! ✨
I had carpel tunnel for about 10 years (I had surgery on both hands in 2015). I couldn’t hold a pencil or brush so I painted with my fingers before and even for a while after surgery. Finger painting was working really well except for finer details. I COULD NOT find a brush that would do what I wanted it to for smaller things. I experimented with all sizes and kinds. 🖌 Finally I found the round ones with the fine points, which I can do smaller areas even though they are big brushes. But the real game changer came with angled brushes. These are my jam! They do everything I need them to do and are very controllable. 🖌 So what am I saying? If you are struggling to find the right tool for your needs, it’s out there. Keep looking! ❓ Ask me about an art tool you’ve been struggling with! I might be able to suggest some options!

@tclmn tagged me in #LunchBreakArtWithTC so here’s my take on it! ✨ If you want to join in, here are her steps:

1. glue down a portion of a book page (I just worked in my altered book!)

2. add a thin layer of paint -dilute with water if needed so that the words of book page are visible

3. glue down a contrasting piece of paper smaller than book page, maybe towards bottom half (Oops! Missed the bottom half rule! I’d already pasted down my stalactites!)

4. Washi tape/masking tape

5. scribbles

6. magazine pic, a quote, a stamp, etc (I’ve pretty much stopped using magazines so I used some of my own art!)

7. contrasting skinny strips of paper on edges of #6. (Like this week’s @getmessyartjournal challenge with @katielicht!!)

8. Share so we can see it!

Imma do #Thursday3 on Tuesday because y’all can’t not see this hair! 😂
1. Rapidly approaching the moment when my hair needs her own zip code. 🦹🏻‍♀️
2. I’m busier than normal over the next few weeks because of a commission I’m working on as well as some seasonal projects I always do this time of year. I both love it and hate it. 🎄🖍
3. I’ve been working through several classes at once over the past week or so and it’s been interesting to let them all marinate at the same time. I love watching classes and sometimes I even do the projects! 😛
✨✨✨
#Thursday3 is a feminist, self-documenting project created by @rukristin. Join in by snapping a selfie and including 3 right now facts about yourself. 💛

I’m working through about four different classes

I’m working through about four different classes right now and they are getting all pieced together in my journal. Do you follow classes step by step or do you watch and try different skills as you like? ✨ #ArtBook #ArtJournal #CreativeJournal #ArtistBook #JournalArt #MixedMediaJournal #JournalSpread #VisualJournal #AnalogCollage #CollageMaker #MixedMedia #PaperTreasures #LittleScrapsOfPaper #CreativeWomen #LifeOfAnArtist #HandmadeJournal #CarveOutTimeForArt #GetMessyArtJournal #ALWCA #ArtistsOfAlabama #CreativePractice #DoItForTheProcess #ArtEveryDay

When I painted yesterday I had blue and fluorescent yellow leftover. I scrubbed it on this page and it became the jumping off point to today’s spread. How do you like to start a new page? ✨ #ArtBook #ArtJournal #CreativeJournal #ArtistBook #JournalArt #MixedMediaJournal #JournalSpread #VisualJournal #AnalogCollage #CollageMaker #MixedMedia #PaperTreasures #LittleScrapsOfPaper #CreativeWomen #LifeOfAnArtist #HandmadeJournal #CarveOutTimeForArt #GetMessyArtJournal #ALWCA #ArtistsOfAlabama #CreativePractice #DoItForTheProcess #ArtEveryDay
