Who is this course for?
If you are new to mixed media painting or want to learn more about it, this course is for YOU.
Truthfully, you can be at any skill level. The course is structured in a way that will be accessible to the beginner but also challenging enough for the more advanced student. If you follow along with all the videos and complete the exercises, you should feel more than comfortable throughout the process.
As far as supplies are concerned, if you are new to painting this course may require a bit of investment as paints other than craft paint will be part of the recommendations in order to get the bright and bold colors achieved in the samples. The large majority of supplies should be ones that most painters and mixed media artists have on hand already or ones that are readily accessible.
