Makings and Musings Community

In last night’s art class, we created a mixed media landscape of the colourful castle in Sintra, Portugal. It was a slightly more challenging piece than usual—but such fun to explore! We started with big, loose blobs of watercolour and slowly built up the painting with layers of detail using mixed media.

You can add whatever you have—coloured pencils, pens, markers, crayons, or fineliners.

After the live session, I looked at my painting and felt it needed a little more work, so I finished it this morning and filmed that part too. I’ve added that second video here for you.

I finished the painting this morning in another 45 minutes:

This one might take a little longer than our usual projects, so take your time and enjoy the process. I really loved seeing what you made at the end of the session—and if you have not yet shared your piece, do pop it in the community.

Remember, sharing your work in the community means you’ll be entered in the monthly giveaway!
