Have you ever wanted to add some unique details to your paintings but wanted to go beyond the traditional materials often used in mixed media artworks? Then this class is perfect for you! We'll learn the basics of embroidery and then sew into our paintings. It's a great way to add some dimension, create a strong focal point, and weave in pops of color. No need to know anything about sewing prior to this class as all techniques will be covered in our lessons. I love sewing into my paintings and can't wait to share this fun mixed media approach with you.
