Color & Collage challenge #3 and Being present

It’s our 3rd color and collage challenge! I wasn’t sure I was going to like the color palette for this challenge, but I actually love it! That’s why play is so important.

Every time I step outside my comfort zone and try something, it always teaches me something. It pushes me to let go of the results and just be in the moment. To just be present and content with the beauty of creating.

Although my colors weren’t a perfect match the challenge to find the colors are always exciting to me.

I love how it turned out and I love how the image in the book really inspired my page.

Remember all of this is in the subscriber library. Including the downloadable sheets for you to follow along and the link to the supplies and book that I’m using. The other videos of challenge #1 & #2 are also in the library.

I hope you have fun creating. And always 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!
