Happy Tuesday, My love!

Some truly grungy goodness from, none other than, egg shells. This could transform your texture making. It creates some of the best depth and interest that I have ever seen. There are so many ways to use this…. so have fun and share with me if you create something.

I hope you enjoy the video

 

Supplies Used : Eggs, Matte Gel medium (liquitex, Golden or any other. A Non porous surface. I coated mine with matte medium you could use gesso.  Acrylic paints, Marabu silver acrylic spray and Deco art craft twinkles in gold.

Be Inspired, Create and know that you are loved!

Hello there! I’m Shawn Petite

I’ve been teaching and creating for well over 25 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. I believe—no, I know—you are worthy of love, and I want to teach you to know that about yourself. Join me on this journey of art and inspiration!
