I used a neutral color palette for the background and the bright colors for the focal point.  A good pull from the stash that inspired.

I also used some very old watercolor crayons… I wasn’t sure they would still work, but they gave beautiful color. Deco art Modeling paste, matte medium and gesso and then threw in some Finnabair turquoise glass beads.

Enjoy the video.

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!
