I’m bringin’ backgrounds back
Vibrant colors, layers, and paste with cracks
They rich with texture ….oh thats a fact
So sign up now and and I’ll teach you tricks that don’t lack..

…. and i promise will try not to write any more far-too-lame spoofs on bad songs.

Seriously though! Can I tell you JUST how excited I am?

I put together this incredible day long workshop - because y’all asked for it. Some of my favorite techniques, for creating backgrounds that have depth, texture and that totally scrumptious richness we all crave. I really wanted to focus on a process oriented class, that would give life-long, valuable skills; so that my students can apply them to paper arts, mixed media paintings, art journals, altered surfaces and so much more! I’m offering up some of my (until now) top-secret working practices too -including how to create gorgeous pieces simultaneously, how to really save money & stretch every last ounce of your supplies.

While these are all techniques I ordinarily teach individually, typically with a completed project — this is the only time you’ll see them offered in a class just like this. Only 20 spots are available — so act fast! I’m really proud of what I put together for this amazing extravaganza — and I hope you will be too.

So go on, peruse the site created just for you - learn a bit more about me, see what all this class craziness entails, view the gallery with a ton of examples (and I haven’t even posted the best ones yet!) and ideas of how to use them, check out the amazing art buffet students will get to delve into, and hopefully - get inspired. I’m currently working on my new site, where this will transfer to sometime this summer/fall. In the meantime, feel free to ask anything - but please read the FAQ first.

Even if you’re not taking my class — I hope to meet you at the convenZioNE! I’ll be there on vendor day, awaiting the thrilling chance to finally put faces to your names! Every day I am reminded of the blessings you all bestow upon me, and I’m ever so grateful to have this chance to give back.

Artfully Yours,
Chrysti
