handmade papers from Asian countries, stamps from many different countries, several
different joss papers, doilies of assorted sizes and patterns, plus whatever other goodies
I've discovered in my studio or in my shopping excursions.
I'll also send you a bonus inspirational video to get your creative juices flowing.
You'll receive the Bonus video and first weekly lesson within 24 hours of your
registration.
Then each Friday night, you'll receive another weekly lesson. This class consists of 10
weekly lessons.
If you prefer, you can receive all the videos right away. Simply let me know when I send
your first lesson.
Here is a preview. You can see 1 minute from an actual class video. I show you
every brushstroke. I explain everything.
And in the following video, I show you the potential of Mixed Media and why I
am so excited about it.
The class videos show you the techniques. My goal with this video is to give
you a glimpse of the possibilities...and to entice you to join me for this mega-dose of
creative fun. Enjoy!
>
I'm taking care of you and your registration personally. This means I will
send you the link and password within 24 hours of the time I receive your registration. I
am not at my computer constantly. I may be in my studio, or taking care of other things
when you register. But I will send you the link & password as soon as I can.
In this convenient online class, you'll learn the same techniques that I teach
in my studio. You'll watch me create this collage from the beginning through the finished
painting. You'll begin to understand how to make your work look like much more than
"a bunch of stuff glued on a surface."
You'll also watch as I integrate 2 more simple glued "surfaces" into
finished paintings.
and
You can watch each video as many times as you wish.
When you've finished this online course, you will understand collage. And
making your collages look like real paintings, instead of "stuff glued onto a
surface" will be easy for you.
I teach more techniques than I can in a 1 day studio class. In my studio, I'm
pretty well forced to limit my instruction & demo to 1 hour...since time is limited
& everyone is eager to get started painting.
In this class, you can watch at your convenience. You'll receive more than 4
hours of videos. I include ALL the techniques I teach in my 3-Day Mixed Media Medley,
where I demonstrate for about an hour EACH day.
You will be able to watch the videos on Vimeo, as many times as you want to
watch them. If you are ready to join the creative fun, sign up now and check out through
PayPal. You don't need a PayPal account.Your investment for this course is $85.
I've protected the videos with a password. I'll send you the links each week
to that lesson. All the lessons use the same password. I include it every time, so you
don't need to worry about keeping up with it.
You'll be able to watch them for at least 6 months after I post the last
video. You will NOT be able to download the videos.
You are on your honor NOT TO SHARE the links or password with anyone else.
There will be NO Refunds once I have sent the password.
To encourage you to sign up now, so you don't go away and forget to come back,
I'll send you an inspiring Bonus Video with your first class video...within 24 hours of
the time you register. I'll send the other classes weekly, so you don't get overwhelmed.
IF you want to have them all, you can reply to the first email I send you and
ask for all the videos that are available and I'll send them. It's YOUR choice!
This class consists of 10 weekly lessons. Plus another bonus video sent with
the 10th lesson.
If you are an artist...or an aspiring artist...who cannot come to my studio,
this class is designed just for you!
You'll learn new techniques, rejuvenate your creative spirit and have lots of
creative FUN. I'll also include tips for beginners, so you can feel comfortable taking
this class, even if you haven't painted before. If you have painted, many of the tips
STILL may be new for you.
My students fill my mailbox with messages telling me how much they like the
course: I relate so much to your tastes! Your likes on the
outcomes of tearing paper is what I was looking for, everything you seem to love, I want
to learn, and you explain so well even for a French Canadian lol.
Merci!

You will need acrylic paint, a few brushes, acrylic matte medium, and some heavy
student grade watercolor paper...or some canvas. This class is NOT about buying supplies.
It's about encouraging your creativity and becoming comfortable with making art.
Basically, you can use whatever you have in the area of watercolor or acrylics plus
drawing supplies. Read through the description below for ideas.
SINCE this class is ONLINE, I will not be providing supplies.
I'll send you the FIRST video and the BONUS video now. Then you'll get one weekly
lesson each week for the next 9 weeks. 10 lessons in all. Or if you prefer to get
all the lessons right away, just let me know.
I'll include tips to help you in choosing a place to work and the music to inspire
you.
The videos are close up of what I am working on as I work.
You'll see exactly what I am doing.
My video camera is only 3 feet from my hands and my painting. You could never get
this close in any studio class.
I'll explain as I paint...not only what I am doing, but
why.
I share my thought process, so you'll learn about color, design & composition.
And you'll hear my thought process when something doesn't please me.
You'll see what I do in that event.
Everyone has times when they aren't happy with a result,
even if they don't admit it.
You'll learn that there are no mistakes...only happy
accidents. We learn from everything we do...even the things that don't please us.
And the creative learning process thrills our creative right brain, our heart, our
soul...whatever name you use to refer to your creative spirit.
As we go through the class, I will be happy to respond to your questions about
materials and techniques. This means you must be able to send and receive email.
I will not be able to help you with computer issues. If you want to see whether the
videos will play on your computer, you can go to Vimeo and watch my interview. If the video seems
slow, stop the play so the video can load into your computer's memory. Then start the play
again. If you can watch any online videos, you will be able to watch the ones for this
class. There are no refunds.
People who have dial-up internet have told me that they can watch Vimeo videos by
starting the play and then stopping it to let the video load and THEN playing it.
I'll teach you how to use acrylic paint, paper, colored pencils, oil pastels,
acrylics & mediums, various exotic papers for collage and hand-carved stamps. I
encourage you to begin with supplies you have, and add other items as you become inspired
by the videos.
Join me online for mixed media creative play. You'll watch the videos,
experiment & learn.

offering Online classes for the first time.

I hope you will join me. This email came from one of my students, an experienced artist & art
teacher, who came for both Creative Collage and Visual Magic with Mixed Media:
Ann,
Thanks
for such a great art experience. It was such a pleasure to be allowed time to do
art. I'm still reaping the benefits of your 2-day class because I haven't lost my
passion or let the weight of the world get in the way of "art time." I
couldn't sleep the other night. Normally I would toss and turn and just hope to go
back to sleep. This time, I got up, went to my studio and worked on one of the
paintings I started in your class. I worked from 3:30 until 6:00 when I had to stop
to get ready for work. I had so much positive energy that day and didn't feel the
least bit tired, even though I'd been awake longer than usual. I credit that energy
from the positive influence you had on me and my development as an artist. I'm
getting a flood of ideas for new art pieces every day. Everywhere I look there are
possibilities for pictures as well as things to use in my collages. I'm overwhelmed
at the possibilities and excited beyond words. I've kept the lid on my creativity
for way too long, but being in your class somehow blew the door wide open.
It's hard to put into words, but I'm so grateful that I was able to meet you and
benefit from your generosity. Diane Bellissemo-Jones

enjoy playing with new materials, knowing that help is as close as your side. Ask &
I'll tell or show you.
