One of the best things about mixed media art is the infinite possibilities for materials you can use and techniques you can try. Let’s start by using paint, paper, stencils and stamped images to create a background. Then printed and/or stamped images to create a focal point. To finish off our mixed media page we will practice journaling and/or using text, creating a border, and outlining. Everyone in class will complete at least 1 page from start to finish, create multiple backgrounds ready to use after class, and leave with images they can use to complete future pages. This class is for beginners, people new to mixed media, and anyone who wants a refresher course on mixed media basics. Taught by Teresa.
