Coming face to face with age isn’t always a treat, unless it’s a favorite face of art from long ago, rejuvenate by your own hands using paints, pencil, and collage, and then altered again to look aged, using a variety of techniques. In this class you will be learning how to paint sepia toned portraits that have a lovely vintage look and then add layers of more mediums to give each piece of art a whole new look of it’s own. This class is for anyone wanting to paint, explore, get their hands messy, & have a good time doing it!

Misty Mawn is a down to earth mixed media artist living amongst the blue ridge mountains of rural Virginia. She has had a strong passion to create art since she can remember, a passion that continues to bless her life with purposeful work and fulfilling adventures from here to there. When not in the studio she can be found amusing (rather being amused by) her two ever growing children, cooking up come creative concoction in the kitchen, or strolling the back trails with camera in hand. She studied studio art at Moravian college, started a pottery business, and has since retired from clay to focus on painting and teaching mixed media art.
