Prepare your supplies and follow me along for the next hour to create your first mixed media painting!

I explain the entire process verbally and with notes as we go along, step-by-step, from start to finish so you know exactly what to do and how to do it.

This super easy and fun tutorial will show you that you too can be an ARTIST, whether you have zero experience or just want to try a new style of painting.

Once you are done and realise how easy painting can be, you will:- have built a lot of confidence- no longer be afraid of the dreaded ''blank space'- now have the perfect recipe to create great backgrounds for more complex paintings!

So, what are you waiting for...? :)

  • Traditional style painters who feel stuck creatively and would like to try a completely different style
