Course Description

This lesson was originally released as part of JKIS 2015. In this lesson you will use collage, stamps, modeling paste and acrylic paint to create a multi-layered, textural background with a grungy heart as the focal point. This project was created in my art journal, but the techniques can also be applied to canvas or board. This lesson is perfect for beginners or seasoned artists. Here's a photo of the finished project.


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.
