Class #77 Dina Wakley Eclectic Color Play: Creative Layered Backgrounds & Embellishments
In this colorful, eclectic class, we’ll begin with a blank surface and transform it by layering color, texture, patterns, and imagery. You’ll experiment with a variety of mixed media products and application techniques while learning how individual elements can work together to create a balanced, cohesive composition.
We won’t stop with the background! You’ll also learn how to make your own decorative elements from scratch, giving your finished project a unique and personal touch.
Throughout the class, you’ll be encouraged to experiment, explore your supplies, and make creative choices without worrying about rigid rules. The goal is to help you understand your products, trust your instincts, and enjoy the freedom of the creative process.
Whether you’re new to mixed media or an experienced artist looking for fresh inspiration, this class will help you loosen up, explore new possibilities, and create with greater confidence.
