Mixed Media Meet Up

The Art of Abstract Layers

Take a Peek Inside the Classroom!

Color and paper create a magical union!

This class is all about experimenting, playing, and having fun with color and collage. In this workshop, you will explore using a variety of mediums to add color and texture to paper.

Learn my intuitive process for creating large scale painted papers using a variety of mediums including acrylic paints, pastels, pencils, crayons, inks and more.

I'll share how I use viewfinders to discover the most beautiful sections in my work, cut them down into smaller pieces and use them to create one-of-a-kind art collages on old book covers.

In this course, we will focus on the following:

•Making handmade art brushes
•Mark making
•Using acrylic, pencils, crayons, inks, and more to create multi-layered abstract painted papers.
•My step-by-step process for how I create abstract layers.
•Creating and using viewfinders to find the sweet spots in your work.
•Removing the covers from books to use for collage.
•Three different ideas for creating collages with your painted papers.
•Three completed book cover collages.

“What a fabulous class! I have enjoyed every single video. I have lots of the supplies used in this workshop, yet Roben-Marie is showing a different way to use them. The class is very well organized, videos are superbly edited and it’s lovely to hear Roben-Marie working.

She expresses her thoughts while being in the midst of the artistic process. I enjoyed watching her create with her typical, personal, original and authentic colors.

I would recommend this workshop to anyone interested in playing with different art media, collage building and learning to create freely.”

Meet Your Instructor...

Hey! I’m Roben-Marie!

I'm a mixed media artist and dedicated art instructor and creator.

I teach both seasoned and beginner artists to embrace the creative process without fixating on perfection, all while enjoying the journey.

When I’m not teaching or creating in my home studio in Florida, I work with the youth in our local church or do mission work in places like Panama, El Salvador, Romania and Honduras.

I’d love to help you confidently share your passion with the world, no matter where you are in your creative journey

Cheers,
Roben-Marie
