What we’ll explore together

You’ll receive one email a day for five days with a video lesson guiding you through the different categories of mixed media art supplies and how to successfully use them!

I'll share my best tips and tried-and-true techniques that I use all the time as a professional artist, plus links to my favorite supplies. Never second-guess yourself again when buying or using art supplies. Instead, you’ll be free to focus on what matters most: the joy of making art!

 
 

Day 1 Painting tools

Let’s begin with painting tools! Brushes for sure, but also some less conventional tools that can give you really yummy results.

Day 2 Acrylics

Acrylics are a big family and so great for mixed media: gel medium is perfect for layering collage, gesso is wonderful for white-on-white effects, while inks and paints bring the rainbow to your fingertips!

Day 3 Inks!

Inks are flowy, vibrant, translucent, and there are so many kinds (including some from the kitchen cupboard!)

 
 

Day 4 Pens, pencils etc.

Whether you want to scribble, write, add some shading or subtle color, pens, pencils, crayons and pastels are your best friends! Plus some of them react with water and other supplies for endless possibilities…

Day 5 Collage & texture

I’ve saved my favorite technique for last! Collage is just pure magic and the best ally to your imagination. In minutes, you can create an atmosphere, a color palette, a story… Then texture will take your art to a whole other dimension!
