Course Description

A Girl for All Seasons is my new series of courses where I will show you how to create a different piece of mixed media girl artwork each month for a year. For the month of October we will be working together to create a beautiful Harley Quinn mixed media girl. You will learn all of the techniques I use to create this pretty mixed media girl and incorporate her into a quick yet awesome background. Although this course does not include a drawing lesson, there is a time-lapse video of my drawing process and a PDF of my sketch to use as reference or to transfer if you are uncomfortable with the drawing process. All of the steps following the drawing are clearly explained and shown in real time with some time-lapse of the boring repetitive parts. I work on mixed-media board to create a finished piece of artwork, but these steps can also be used on canvas, wood, watercolor paper or even to create beautiful art journal pages.

Instructor / Creator of Krazy Island Studios/University

Claudia Rossi

Technically a 'self-taught' artist, I acquired my skills through many online workshops and courses, as well as self-study in many varied art books. I am happiest in my studio, spending quality time with my family, or curled up with a good book. My art embodies the joy I find in everyday life - family, friends, and home. Because it doesn't take much to make me happy, a playful freedom comes through in my art and art journals. I love girly things like butterflies, fairies, anything pink and (especially) glitter! Teaching others how to apply the techniques I use and trying new things together in my art journals is the greatest 'job' in the world. My latest commission made it all the way to Greece from my California studio. You can see examples of my art in my Etsy Shop, like me on Facebook, join my Facebook Group, watch my free videos on YouTube, or follow me on Twitter or Instagram.
