We are excited to welcome Ly Le to The Art Lounge with her monthly Mixed Media Technique Journal Series. Each month you will learn loads of techniques and DIY tutorials that will focus on a particular medium and all the different ways you can use them in both mixed media and scrapbooking, all while making your own 7x9 art journaling page.
You’ll also receive a kit catered to each month’s topic, and step-by-step instruction sheets that you can store right inside your journal for quick and easy referencing. Some topics include Acrylic Mediums, Monoprinting & Print Making, Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft, Dylusions, and Tim Holtz Distress. Classes will be held from 2-5pm on the fourth Sunday of each month. Join the series at any time, take only the classes you like, or take them all!
In this month’s class, we will be focusing on Pan Pastels. Ly will show you how to mix, blend, layer, and apply these professional artists’ quality soft pastel colors packed in a unique cake-like pan. She will also show you how to incorporate the Pan Pastels with other acrylic mediums and papercrafting products you may already have.
Supplies Lists:
The supplies list will differ slightly each month depending on what topic or medium is covered that month. Ly will provide everything you need in class for you to experiment and play, including her infamous treasure chest. She wants to give you the opportunity to learn how to use the product in class before you decide to invest in it. So, please don't ever feel that you have to go out and buy something you are not sure you want to invest in yet. However, if you already own the items on the list it would be helpful if you bring them to class so you don't have to wait to share items. With that being said, Ly will provide two supplies lists… a Basic Supplies List containing supplies that you will need for each and every class and a Monthly Supplies List containing supplies that you will need for that month only. Please note: The journal and starter kit is only included in the first month. After that, the journal and starter kit is available for purchase separately, but is not required.
