A Little Whimsy Mixed Media Workshop

This tutorial is part of the “No Shenanigans” mixed media tutorial book and full video course!

What is this mixed media tutorial about?

It’s about getting in touch with your soft side!

Birds are so fragile and innocent, aren’t they? But whimsical birds? Ahhhh… Well…
They just turn your heart into a marshmallow!

Follow me along on this fun journey to creating the sweetest little bird you have ever seen!

I will show you how to make a lovely textured background using collaged paper and how to add paint on top for interest.

You will also learn how to incorporate a main focal point into your painting and how to bring all the elements together to make your painting feel whole.

Make sure you keep this birdie close by as a reminder of how fragile and precious we all are…
I am sure he will be singing lovely songs to you if you let him!

Ok! Put your favourite music on, light up a scented candle and let’s have fun with paint!

I will show you how to create this beautiful painting, from start to finish!
