Part 1: Mixed-Media Magic with Faber-Castell | Collage Sheets + Art Journal Spread

Unlock your imagination and dive into a joyful mixed-media adventure in this two-part creative class! In partnership with Faber-Castell, we will explore expressive mark-making, layering techniques, and playful experimentation using some of my favorite art tools — Faber-Castell Gelatos/Art Crayons, PITT Artist Pens & Shake & Paint Pens

This immersive workshop is designed for all creative levels — whether you’re brand-new to mixed media or looking to expand your art journaling toolbox.

✂️ Part One: Create Your Own Collage Papers
We’ll begin by building a beautiful stash of handmade collage sheets filled with patterns, textures, brush letters, and joyful marks. You’ll learn how to:
• Create expressive patterned papers using simple art marks and brush strokes
• Layer color and pigment with Art Crayons for soft, blendable backgrounds
• Use PITT Artist Pens to add lines, doodles, textures, and movement
• Embrace play and looseness as you build your creative confidence

These one-of-a-kind sheets will become the foundation for your journal spread.
