Yesterday one of my classes finished their Whimsy Birds project, a fun mixed media piece on a canvas panel.<\/p>\n

We worked through this project over a few weeks, choosing papers, colours and stencils that appealed to us, and layered acrylics to make our design work as a whole….it was such fun, and every piece was different.<\/p>\n

If you would like to have a go at my design, why not buy the pattern pack in my\u00a0shop<\/a>. I give detailed step by step instructions with photos, and there is a separate guide which explains the techniques used as you go along…you can’t go wrong! \u00a0As an e-pattern pack with payment by credit\/debit card you will receive it immediately too, so no waiting for the postman.<\/p>\n

Happy painting…<\/p>\n
