🎨✨ Mixed Media Quad - Part 1 | Playful Exploration & Art Techniques! ✨🎨

Hey, creative souls! Welcome back to Art & Soul Insider with Barbara Lynn Burns, where we blend art & wellness to bring more creativity and joy into your life! 🌟

Today, we're diving into a Mixed Media Quad – Part 1, where we focus on play, exploration, and fearless creativity! I'm using a 10.2"x10.2" Baohong Academy Cold-Pressed Watercolour Pad, dividing it into four sections, and letting go of perfection. If you’ve ever struggled with the blank canvas, the “middle uglies,” or the fear of the unknown, this is your chance to push past fear and just TRY! πŸŽ¨πŸ’ƒ

πŸ’‘ What you’ll learn in this video: 


βœ… How to experiment with new materials and colors to spark creativity
βœ… The importance of play in the artistic process (hint: perfection is overrated!)
βœ… How to use tubed watercolor pencil crayons, watercolors & clear paraffin wax
βœ… Alternative supplies if you don’t have the same ones (pencil crayons, tempera paint & a white tea light or candle will work too!)
βœ… Tons of pro tips & techniques from an experienced Art Teacher & Well-being Practitioner (that’s me! 25+ years of teaching & guiding people through creative expression!)

πŸ’‘ Unlike other videos, I don’t just show you the process—I teach you the what, how, and why behind each step! You’ll gain real art knowledge that helps you grow as an artist while having FUN.
