Mixed media floral triptych

I think I’m in love with these new flower mask stencils! There are so many possibilities!! I think you’ll probably be seeing these a lot!

Today I made a triptych or created a mini series, with yummy layers, lots of vintage papers, a little spray paint, and a lot of meaning.

I share in the video some helpful tips when planning your background papers and then I go to town with layers of colors and a little bit of gold! Yes, please!

I also share a new book that I got that gave me some things to think about and my inspiration for these cuties.

I hope you enjoy the video, check out the new stencils in the shop, get inspired, and have fun!

These originals are available HERE and the Prints HERE

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!
