Mixed Media class with Tangie?

I'm not in the class, but I can tell you that mixed media art is a lot of fun.

 

I would also love to see some of the artwork. I am so not a mixed media artist when it comes to tangible product.

 

I'm taking it...but if I'm being brutally honest with myself, I'm not very good at it ! I'm such a "things I do must make sense" kinda of person, that I'm having a hard time randomly ripping and pasting down. Yeah, I'm the one that strategically tore *sigh*

 

I am taking this class and I am LOVING it! She breaks it down into super easy steps that make it easy to start and not over think anything. I have done about 6 starter backgrounds and turned two of them into finished pages. They aren't anything magazine worthy, but the fun I had in making them is the value to me. Tangie even gave us a $30 coupon to go shopping for collage sheets in her shop, so basically you only need a journal of any kind, some watercolors (cheapo crayola works) and a glue sticks to get started. Anyway, here are my first two pages:



If you are even remotely thinking about this class, do it! It's been so cool and easy to start! The video lessons are like 9-13 minutes long so they aren't overwhelming and are a great place to start.

 

@Karen You did that with REAL stuff? Wow, that is amazing, I love both pages. Thanks for posting them.

 

You rock girl!

 

I just signed up!!!!!!!!!

 

Yay!

 

@jenn mccabe @bbymks5 @Karen

I just posted over there but since I am a bit late.... maybe you can post here.... I want to see your supplies... I love seeing supplies!

 

These are my watercolor exploration strips.

 

@Rikki

 

I’m a little late to the exercises.

 

@Dalis My girls have managed to kill the cheapo paint brushes already LOL! I tried using their larger pan of watercolors from Michael's but the colors are so chalky that I went out and got the Crayola pan. I got the 50 pack of markers to use on coffee filters, you color on them and then spray with water and it's supposed to create a watercolor look, but I haven't tried it yet.

 

You could also use the markers as watercolors. Just scribble the markers in a plastic surface and then spray it and it will become watercolor. I used markers like that for almost all my rubber stamping coloring I did in my days! LOL!!!

 

I just went to check it out. It’s no longer 50% off.

 

I thought about doing that too!! I just need to quiet my brain to play LOL

 

Happy Mamacita, wait for the upcoming sale! It might be on sale, I am not sure, but it may!

 

I am enjoying this MM class! Like Tangie explains, "It isn't just about the end result, it's all about taking the time to play."
