At the moment I like to play with things that I have on hand like the advertisement brochure from one of our local museum which I use in the project as my art journal. The brochure have with 21 x 21 cm² a perfect size to take it with me in my travelers notebook.

In my project I show you two of my favorite techniques to create a neutral background: First technique is to use stamps & stencils and tissue to make my own collage papers. The Second technique I want to show you is using you watercolor media e.g, Neocolor II crayons I’m using to your background a grey shaded look. In front of the neutral background your colored focal point will really pop out off the page.

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!
