I know you already know how much I love mixed media and this months lesson in the Mixed Media Society gets right to the heart of all that goodness!!!  
First we start with the inspiration...

I honestly don't know what I love more in this picture.  The illustration from Anne Keenan Higgins, the cocktail napkins or the Complexion Set by Prima.  Well my love for those I can absolutely expound upon before I go any further.  Watch my short and sweet product review on those babies here.
Ok but let's not get too too sidetracked here.  
Back to the project!!
So first things first, we have a wee drawing lesson...
Scared to draw?  No worries, I got you!  I've included the full size PDF in the Mixed Media Society Classroom for this project, that you can print out and trace directly onto your art journal or canvas so you can cruise right along!!!

Then we grab our scissors and get to work!

Adding all these pics makes me so excited all over again for this project, it's taking everything in my power to sit in my chair and finish this blog post and not go running down to my studio to throw some paint around!!!!
​Now where were we?  Oh yes,  just about to throw some paint around!!
Picture
A little watercolor and off we go!!!
At this point, I confess, I get a bit carried away with the project...so much so that I forget to take pictures for a bit!  At least the whole fabulousness gets captured on video, in real time, so you can art along with me!!!  Phew!
What's that dreamy sparkle?  You ask?
Only Sparkle Mod Podge, BUT OF COURSE!!!
I can't believe you couldn't have guessed that already!!!
Picture
Here's the mess and project in it's full glory!!!
Picture
Dying to give it a go!!!!  Please do!  I'll even throw in a FREE 30 day trial so you can have a go without costing you a penny.  Click here to start the party!!!!  You won't regret it, your fun awaits!!!

What Fans Are Saying

Karen, you are absolutely fabulous! You make me feel like I can draw anything. I have recently retired and finally have the time to do some of the art that I have loved since I was in school. I am really at the beginning of my art journey and I hope to learn as much as I can. Thank you for all you do.

​-Jill Y.

I ordered your Fun Fab Faces book and loved it! I was having a little trouble getting the noses I wanted and now it's easy! Also, I love how you stressed how important having the three tones in your drawing is. Thanks a bunch!

-Donna L.

Thank you Karen! I never though I could do faces. You broke it down so it was understandable! And I love your book! I got it yesterday! Can't wait to start practicing! It's so much fun!!!!!

​-Debbie M.

Thank you for the encouragement to get back into my drawing and painting. After being away for 35 years.  THANK YOU.
