I had this rainbow canvas sitting around for several years. I had used Gelatos to color it and then didn’t know how to finish it. When I saw the awesome SP Faces stencil, I finally knew what to do! This piece reminds me to embrace my uniqueness and “rise up” from the inner thoughts that threaten to tear me down!

My supply list:
8×10 canvas previously colored with Gelatos
Shawn Petite Faces 2 Looking Down, Magnolia and Doodle Minis Stencil Masks Stencils

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!

    Love the background for this sweet face ! I do the same thing at times , set aside a piece I’m not sure about and many times it later becomes a light bulb moment with what to do !
