Welcome to our first GUEST POST!  This blog post originally appeared on Manon's blog and since I loved it so much I thought I would invite her to share it with us all.  If you have an interesting blog post or tutorial you'd like to share as a guest writer, just let me know!
Thanks Manon for sharing with us!   Here is her post:
I was recently asked if I teach any classes in mixed media but I don't.
However it got me thinking 
I love sharing so I have put something together for you in this post.
I hope you enjoy it




 Be inspired. 

Find something you love to take a photo of
go to your stack
and
Get out all your scraps of paper
together 
with your blank canvas

 
Use all your imagination 
and

Glue it all down 
with your 
......





    

              Gel Matt Medium.

Go on.........

 

 

now

Get out all your favourite paints
.....


and



Don't hesitate


Just 

PLAY

Feel good about what you do!




 Reach out for your pens

Dont feel tense

Just be you, let it happen
......
draw some fantasy

chase that inner critic off the fence!

Are you ready?

mix these together
Zinc White, Cerulean Blue,Cadium Yellow medium hue and Quinacridone Magenta.

 Now you have your flesh tones.

Just paint


La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la......
