Mixed Media Reverse Canvas

Saturday 27th 10:00am 

Have you thought mixed media projects are beyond your level feeling more of a beginner or not that ‘Arty’?  Well come along to Beck’s Mixed Media reverse canvas class where she will de-mystify the world of mixed media with her no stress approach to layering and getting your hands dirty.

Suitable for all levels you are sure to have the ‘Ahhhh I can do this!’ moment.  In this class we will have fun creating a textured reverse mixed media canvas.  We will be sure to finish in the allotted class time having you walk away with a stunning piece you will find hard to part with while in Beck’s signature teaching style; learning lots of different techniques along the way. 

To create our stunning canvas we will be using various products including, divine IndigoBlu artist quality metallic cottage paints (you will see how truly amazing these are in the class) in a number of ways, Tinby Designs Color Crush watercolour powders, DecoArt Crackle medium, Seth Apter signature dies and IndigoBlu Megaflake to name a few.

Students will receive a pre-class video covering ‘what to bring’ to the class.

Explore Indigoblu 

Friday 26th August 1pm

Explore mixed media with IndigoBlu. In this class we will be creating a mixed media page and separate canvas exploring the use of many different Indigoblu products indluding  IndigoBlu's divine metallic paints, stamps, FlutterGlu and Mega-Flakes!  We will also be teaming that up with the use of Spellbinders dies in some different ways creating loads of fun to be had in class!

Explore Masculine styles class

 OR

Creating cards and layouts for the masculine half can be a little more challenging.  With age often playing a part we will be exploring some tips and techniques for tailoring them to various aged males and also ideas for more masculine styles.  With the cards we will move from little boys to teenage boys through to older men.  Using similar products in varying ways you will be armed with ideas on how you can better tailor masculine cards to age, while still making some really cool looking cards.  If you choose to create the layout you'll learn some tips and ideas for creating more masculine pages while learning new techniques and experimenting with various products along the way.  We will also delve into some mixed media in this class in an effort to help grunge it up, working with sprays, stencils, gesso and texture paste, as well as textures from Shimmerz and Metallic Melts by Tinby Designs.

Come along and create a scrapbook page or 3 cards all designed for you to explore your inner masculine style!
