Hey Mixed Media Society member! 

❤️️Watch this week's Newsletter hello video from ME!❤️

This summer we've been hanging out in the Skin Tones classroom.

My goal here is to help you feel comfortable creating GORGEOUS skin tones using a wide variety of mixed-media art supplies. 

We started out in acrylics!
You'll find 3 projects in this classroom teaching you how to create
light, medium, and dark skin tones
 in just a little over an hour per lesson.

Then we put together EVERYTHING we've learned
or one GRAND FINALE project!

Check this out...

This lesson is a little on the long side (~2.5 hours) compared to what I usually do - but I think it was SO worth it, don't you??!!

What I've really been loving about these projects is seeing how many members are sharing their work in the Facebook group.

The growth in this group has been astounding!!
Just look at Robin's version of this lesson!!

She's killing it, and YOU can too!!

If you're not in the mood to mess with your acrylics today,
and want to explore how to create beautiful skin tones using your Tombow dual brush pens, I've got SO much fun in store for you!!

First, I teach you about the properties in these markers,
​and how you can use them in 5 different ways. 

Next, I show you exactly how to "paint" the girlie below using a variety of oranges in case you don't have the portrait skin tones set above!

Next, there are two more Tombow painting projects
we can work on together in this classroom...​

✨Last week I did a PRIVATE DEMO, just for you, about how to eliminate streaking in Tombows and showed ya which other mixed media art supplies play nicely with them. ​

​If you've been following along with all
the new lessons this summer in the Mixed Media Society,
you may have fallen in love with your Tombows as much as I have!!

In case that's you...

✨THIS WEEK, I've added FOUR more oldies-but-goodies
Tombow projects to the classroom!

​There are two grayscale projects...

And two Tombow projects in color! 

​In Other Club News...

​​Last week we also had our very first
HAPPY HOUR Live (reformatted Office Hours)!

If you didn't get to join me, I'm hoping you can be there for the next one!

We went over Permanent vs. Water-Soluble art supplies,
and specifically, what happens to BOTH between
layers 3 and 5 of the Hamburger System.
