Today I’m popping in to show you some fun new goodies I received from Arteza.

In this video (it’s a longer one) I show you how I use the metallic paint and mica powders with gel mediums and air brush medium… you’re gonna like it!

I also do a section on gelli printing with them as well. Then we create a piece from start to finish.

Arteza has also graciously offered a coupon code for you to use and get 10% off! use code: ShawnPetite1 —–valid until June 18.

This is a fun one and I had so much fun playing!

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!
