Fun with Mixed Media!

i am super excited to announce my third class with Craftsy: Fun with Mixed Media, Lively Paper Projects! Over 2.5 hours of videos, broken down into 7 lessons. Throw rules out the window and use gesso, acrylic paint and watercolors to infuse your paper craft projects with eye-catching texture and color!  

Think outside the box and incorporate mixed media into your paper crafts with guidance from author and professional artist Ronda Palazzari (that's me ;). Get started by using gesso, acrylic paint and masking fluid to transform paper such as junk mail and phone book pages into beautiful backgrounds. Then, have fun with paints and stencils as you create a trendy chalkboard effect, experiment with washes and make your own stencils.

You’ll even explore the color wheel and learn how watercolors and acrylic paints work together so that you always get the most from your paint. Finally, paint with drips, splashes, splatters and blooms as you build layer upon layer of texture and work with resists. Plus, I will share a few of my mixed-media projects to inspire you in creating your own unique scrapbook pages, cards, tags and more!

You'll have a lifetime access to the class. You can share projects & leave me questions. I had a ton of fun creating all of my classes with the Craftsy crew. I am really impressed with the online classrooms and have taken a few classes myself. If you haven't tried Craftsy yet, you will love it! You can even download the Craftsy App onto your mobile device or tablet and take your classes with you! 

Hope to see you in my classes!
