Collage, paint and draw to explore a new side of mixed-media art and go off the beaten path! Celebrate the day-to-day journey of life as you create imaginative mixed-media projects|Emphasizing a style that combines painterly surfaces and collage ? think painterly collage ? Sue Pelletier finds solace and comfort in a particular type of imagery ? the heart, the home, a child's toy, a vintage dress. As an artist and a mother these are things she holds near and dear to her heart, her kids and the day to day journey of life. Recognizing that these motifs resonate with others with whom she has much in common, Sue uses them as a starting off point to introduce and then immerse readers into the world of mixed media art, materials and techniques.
The person who picks up a copy of Mixed Media Techniques Workshop will learn everything she needs to know about mixed media materials and techniques. She is encouraged through playful and imaginative projects and engaging and humorous writing to try something (everything!) new, to use the tools and materials in both traditional and creative ways, and to make art that comes from her the heart.
