Painted Layers Postcards, a mixed media art workshop with Sarah Gardner

Painted Layers Postcards” is a project from Sarah’s book: “Share Your Joy: Mixed Media Shareable Art.” Working in layers, using several different media and techniques you’ll create a set of four, one-of-a-kind, mixed media postcards.

The simple layering process makes creating playful, intuitive, and fun, and the results are interesting, colorful, and often surprising!

We will create on an 8.5 x 11 inch substrate that is then cut into postcard-sized pieces. It’s kind of magical what can happen when you cut that larger piece apart! Beautiful, unintentional compositions; little hints of a particular color; a splatter off-center in the corner that catches your eye; part of something bigger that is now on another card that has you guessing what it might have been…mysteries and wonder. It’s sure to spark joy!

Then, you can share that joy by mailing your cards away and making someone else’s day! All art supplies provided.

Learn:
-To layer paints using different mixed media techniques
-How to work with color in order to layer without creating “mud”
-About shareable art – experience the joy of creating and then share that joy with others in the mail

Create:
– A set of four mixed media, Painted Layers Postcards to share your joy with others
