For Mixed Media people

Sketchbook Revival is the absolutely best bargain for those of you who make visual journals or art journals or do any kind of paper crafting.

In this FREE class, you get two teachers a day, starting yesterday (but you can backtrack if you're late getting on board) and so far, an added bonus: most teachers give away a significant freebie--like a free class (regularly $49) I'm watching tonight by Mary Beth Shaw on Stencil Girl Studio.

Nellie and Pam and I are all doing these classes and they are terrific.

How do they do this for free?

I've noticed that many mixed media teachers seem to do it just for the pleasure of sharing.  Most of them have You Tube channels and other places to see their work, like Facebook and Instagram.

Many also have sites and online stores, like Stencil Girl, Joggles, and Nathalie's shop.  So when you take a class, you can also purchase stencils and other classes.

You'll get techniques and pointers on how to use art supplies you may already have if you're like Pam and Nellie and me.

Right now, Mary Beth is teaching me how to put a few drops of paint into alcohol to make alcohol spray.

And how to use Baby Wipes and Distress Crayons together with stencils to create nice patterns.
