Course Description

I showed these flowers on a YouTube video, and received a big response from people who wanted to learn how to paint them...so this course was born. In it you will learn how to create a quick and easy mixed media background and then how to paint my fun flowers. With a few simple tools and materials, you can have a finished piece of art in just an hour or two.

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.
