Karen, thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and for your quick response earlier to my question. I am looking forward to trying this Sunday.
I am so looking forward to the class. It's on my birthday, so it's my gift to myself! Sadly, I'm in the process of moving, having sold my house, and all of my painting/mixed media supplies are already in storage. But I will watch live, then once I'm settled, I'll watch the replay and create this lovely lass! 💜 💜 💜
I can't wait to join this class!! So excited! Oh also, just an idea to share, even on canvas I have taken old dangling earrings and poked them right through the canvas as if to wear real earrings. Omg with costume jewelry I see that extra sparkle on her. Just an idea 💡 See you on the 28th 🎉 Hugsnlove 🫂 ♥️
Awesome I can’t wait! Not sure if I’ll be able to draw along with everyone but I’m sure gonna be hanging out! But I will try her later on! Thank you for the info❤❤❤❤
Awesome video as always!! Thank you Karen... I have one question... can you spray a bit of workable fixative to the portrait before applying Mod podge to avoid any smearing?
Rather than spray a fixative to lock in any layers, I’d use an acrylic spray sealer as a fixative won’t be enough to keep water soluble supplies from moving. I recommend watching my Hamburger series for examples! Hope that helps! th-cam.com/play/PLn5mGTkPuQK4pkVPxsS1oiPJaW8AqS9Xq.html&si=jVRACvjl3-1xJLTu
Hi Karen thank you for this great video ! ❤ I have a question : can I use newspaper and magazines for the collage and if I want to use 2d stickers, do I have to put them at the very end on top of the finishing sealer spray ?
Hi!! So you totally can use magazines but they (I gotta warn you) are a super pain in the ass to use! They wrinkle instantly and make your nice collage sometimes less than nice because of it. Newspaper is the much better bet. Old book pages and scrapbook and tissue paper make your life MUCH easier because they behave when they get wet! You’d put them on FIRST for best results although technically they can go anytime UNDER your sealer layer.
It has a slicker surface than Matte Medium (which is actually a precursor to my next step) and it is stronger than Matte Medium for gluing those feathers. There are plenty of fine art alternatives to use as well, here’s a video you can check out to see what I mean… (just give me one second while I dig it out!)

Thank you. Why did you seal with MOD lodge and not the Liquitex matte medium?
