Pulling prompts and seeing what happens is one of my favorite approaches to mixed media art making (or at least starting) This time together will expose you to a collection of mixed media techniques you can try time and again in alternating order to achieve different and exciting results each time. You will leave class with a deck of richly layered cards ready for future artwork, art journaling embellishment, card making, affirmation cards, wisdom cards and more. The process and the finished product are pure joy and engaging to the viewer.

Take your watercolor experience to the journal learning how your colors mix and play with one another. Add a quote or phrase or fill the whole page with colorful shapes and designs. This sort of watercolor play has you learning more about colors, color mixing, brush and water control.
