Tonight I took a Mixed Media class just a few steps from my home (which made the access to my studio for extra art supplies oh-so-easy). We had an art class in the lobby of our condominium building … so fun to make art with lots of other artsy folks.
The grid of hearts on the right was the sample of the project we were making … and that lovely smiling lady is our teacher, Mixed Media Artist Dori Patrick.
We started by drawing a grid on our canvas (I worked with a 12" x 12") and then added modeling paste for texture. Next we added papers and fabric (and in my case some lace too) to create the grid backgrounds or the hearts.
I was pretty painty & messy, so I didn't take many work-in-progress photos, but here's the finished piece. I was really happy with how it turned out for a three-hour project.
I especially loved the Pebeo shimmery pearl teal paint … must get a tube of my own to try with Gel Press printing.
I love this!!
I would love to take a mixed media class in our city as I would have to drive 40 or 50 miles to find one and most are at night and I don’t like night driving. This is Stunning, fantastic job.
