Quickie Tutorial for This Sunday Inspiration

In this weeks Quickie, I go over just about every detail of this piece. I talk you through the background and good application of gesso. I also share one of my secrects to getting yummy texture from your gesso. I give you a template for the pot/planter and I also teach you how to make it yourself. I go over composition, shading for detailed pieces and creating the branches or buds. So much goodness for only $7.00! Once you purchase the quickie you will receive an email with the link for the video… no password required.

This week on the DECO ART Mixed Media Blog I share a video of the card below. Come and check it out HERE

Hello there! I’m Shawn Petite

I’ve been teaching and creating for well over 30 years. About 15 years ago I found my art soul mate in mixed media, and it changed my life! I love the story that can be told by combining paint, texture, ink, paper and—really anything that you can imagine.

But what I’m truly passionate about is being your guide, walking with you step by step and helping you become your own hero in your creative journey.

Along my path, I’ve learned that the creating art also creates a healing space. Life can be messy and complicated and painful, but something about a paint brush can help heal your soul.

Join me on this journey of art and inspiration!
