What you will learn

In this class students are going to learn about the basic steps involved in a mixed media art project, by creating a set of four mixed media postcards.

Description

Have you always wondered on how to create a piece of mixed media art? If your answer is yes, then this class is for you.

In this class I'm going to show you how you can use mixed media to create easy and fun postcards with materials you're most likely to have at home already.

In this class we are going to look at techniques like collage, layering, adding stencils, stamps and colours and ideas on how to finish the cards with inspirational quotes.

 This class is perfect for students who are new to mixed media, as they will be able to create a whole project from start to finish and while learning a new skill and technique will have created four mixed media postcards at the end of this class.

However, this class is also suitable for students who want to get into a habit of sending more letters or are looking for Happy Mail inspiration.

 Looking forward to seeing you in my class.

I enjoyed this class. The instructor steps through each layer of the postcard with demos and easy instructions. I sent one of my postcards to my mom. She loved it!

I found this course was very easy to follow. Everything was explained in an easy and calm manner. The pace was perfect. I now feel very inspired to jump right in and start creating my own postcards and gift cards. Can't wait to get started. Thanks so much for such an enjoyable course!

Loved this class. I've been really interested in doing some mixed media, but had no idea of how to do it. This class fixed that for me. It's a great starting off point if you're a beginner like me. Take this class!!

I enjoyed the course because I am really a beginner and I could perfectly accomplish my first project. There are no rules, but a lot of little practice I can choose from. Almost every tool is available at home.

I loved it. I could watch and listen to Nina all day - but now I have to get started on my cards! Fun project to get me going creatively!

I enjoyed the course for the basic information of creating postcards with mixed media. It has been a nice introduction to the basics and very encouraging to try my hand at creating cards to share. I felt the information was complete for a beginner course and introduction. Thank you for the time you took to create this course. It met my expectations and was worth the time.

I enjoyed the Mixed Media Postcards class. Lots of interesting ideas to try on your postcards or on journal pages, etc. I hope she creates a more advanced class.

A very fine class, succinct and easy to follow. Instructor has a soothing voice. This class is a nice way for beginners to dip a toe into mixed media, and end up with four beautiful pieces of art. Appreciated your process in creating a aesthetically cohesive set of mini mixed media pieces. Would love it if instructor either expand this class or create another, next-level class presenting more techniques and materials, and more projects.
