A fun mixed media class for all levels!
Cratures with character with Yvonne Morell

Hello my creative friends!

Townscapes have always fascinated me, to imagine the people living there now or centuries before, it is just precious! It has also been the subject that I have been painting for the longest. Over the years, as I have changed, so have my towns, Even though the class is called Happy Town, we will not miss the opportunity to add some fun people as well! I am excited to share my process with you since I love the freedom mixed media offers me. Painting, printing, adding collage, working with a palette knife, and using oil pastel, is so much fun! This class is for ALL levels! I hope you join us to create your happy town with your kind of people! xo, Yvonne

Gathering inspiration

Preparing the projects

We will use reference pictures but also venture outside to sketch and gather inspiration. You will learn how to simplify your subjects and prepare your own and unique collage pager that we will use in our paintings.
