This class focuses on ways to use different mixed media materials and techniques in your work, such as mark making with all kinds of tools, acrylic paint and ink, collage, image transfer, gel plate printing, stitching, and ways of creating texture. If you have some painting experience and/or have taken mixed media with Jackie in the past, this class helps you develop the various applications to the next level and a further understanding of how and why you would choose to incorporate different kinds of media into your work.
