Description

Jump right into your art with Rae Missigman’s quick and easy background techniques! In this video workshop, Rae shares her clever strategies for putting down three wildly different paint colors with just one brush–no brush cleaning required! After creating a series of these foundations, you’ll embark on a layering process full of fun and easy-to-follow techniques, including stamping, using custom stickers (made with your own artwork!), and stenciling for interest and texture. Rae demonstrates how to use masking fluid and acrylic paint to create areas of highlight, shadow, and resist, and finally shows you how to bring the pieces together by creating focal points and adding your own signature marks!

In this video you will:

• Create 2 small abstract paintings from start to finish.
• Learn to paint colorful, no-mud backgrounds using a unique blending technique.
• Develop focal points from abstract marks.
• Experiment with a variety of mark-making tools, including paint pens and markers.
