First off, if you have any questions before, during or after watching this class, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment, I’m here to help!

CLASS PROJECT:

1. Create, in your art journal or sketchbook, a 5 x 7 whimsical Mixed Media Girl, using the downloadable PDF image in the Projects/Resource section (or you can draw it freehand) using at least one of the layering techniques I teach in this class using acrylic paint

2. Transfer the 5 x 7 downloadable pdf image I’ve provided for this class onto your journal page, I will show you exactly how to transfer it in the “Image Transfer” lesson.

3. Add a quote in your own hand writing or hand lettering. This is not a lettering class but I’ll show you my style of hand lettering and how I add lettering to my mixed media girl.

4. Your welcome to use your own color palette or you can use the colors I use in this class.

But most of all I want you to have fun! And please feel free to ask any questions!

SUPPLY LIST:

SKETCHBOOK OR ART JOURNAL - I’m using a mixed media sketchbook by Strathmore size 5.5” x 8.5” but feel free to use any sketchbook or art journal or paper that is at least 5” x 7” so you will be able to transfer the downloadable pdf image onto it ( the image is 5” x 7”)

You will also need some white paint. In this class I will be using Gesso for my white but any white acrylic paint will be great.
