As we launch into 2014, a huge range of online art classes have been opened up! At Mixed Media Art, we are often asked about finding local mixed media classes. With access to the internet, ALL of these classes are local – right in your own home!  I love looking through all of these classes, watching their inspiring videos and reading through the activities. To help you choose one, or two, here are the Top 3 Mixed Media Art Classes that have caught our eye!

Hello Soul, Hello Mixed-Media Mantras

“Acrylic Solutions” by Julie Prichard & Chris Cozen

Today we review the mixed media painting book “Acrylic Solutions” by Julie Prichard and Chris Cozen. It’s published by North Light Books 2013. It includes everything you need to get started with acrylic painting, both on canvas and a range of other surfaces. The book will also provide the experienced artist with the “why” and “how” paints and mediums behave as they do, as well as a variety of techniques. These are all pulled together to work through a series of lovely paintings.

 

And the WINNER of the Acrylic Solutions giveaway is ….

Elena Manali, from Athens Greece

ELENA MANALI says:

Hello! I started using acrylics the last ten months.I was afraid of using them but since I made my first trial I was amazed with that medium! So many colours and the texture and the depth I can give in my mixed media collages I feel like I am hand building as a sculptor! I would be very happy to win a copy of the Acrylic solutions and I am sure that it will lead me to new paths in my work!

Elena,
