A Mixed Media Class
That Gets You UN-STUCK
Are you feeling stuck in one genre or one medium? This is a great way to conquer the "blahs" that come from feeling scared to branch out using fluid art, gel prints, collage & gold leaf!
This course is designed to teach you to explore each technique, to play, to have fun even if you have never done any of them before. By building and layering different techniques you bring an unmatched depth to your work. Walk away from this class with a handful of new skills for your artistic arsenal and feel refreshed!
Already An Artist ~ Or Wish You Were?
this class is for you
Are you someone wishing you could be more artistic, but afraid that you can't? The beauty of this course is that each technique is EASY and everything is explained step by step. Because each lesson is fun all by itself - you don't even have to re-create the painting I show in this class to have a relaxing and enjoyable time.... But you absolutely COULD recreate this painting if you wanted to by the end of it all!
Maybe you are an artist feeling un-inspired or stuck? This class is a great way to accomplish some new techniques you can apply in your future works and take them to the next level.
No matter what your skill level - BEWARE you may become addicted to the gel printing sessions where I show you how to create beautiful hand-made collage papers. They are so relaxing and unobtrusive and a great way to spend an hour unwinding after a long day.
Start with a Simple Fluid Art Background
Easy & Fun
Acrylics mixed with a fluid art medium creates a flowing background with lots of expression. This addicting technique might become your favorite way to paint - but feel free to use a brush or find a painting you already have to use as your background. The freedom to play and use your own intuition is deeply encouraged.
Finish Your Painting w/Embellishments
Gold Leaf, Pens & Acrylics
Bring your Work to Life with simple embellishments that take your piece to the next level. No drawing or brush skills needed for these simple but effective embellishments that add some "BLING" to your painting.
