Making hearts is a way to engage in painting or collage without taking it too seriously. How can you agonize over your image when it is the most over-used, cliché of clichés in the realm of shapes?

For this reason I am offering a workshop on mixed media techniques in which we use the heart as the image. It is called Light Hearted, and I'll be offering it along with other workshops at Art and Soul this May in Colorado Springs. Read about it here. See my other workshop here.


In the video I am using Utrecht acrylic matte medium to adhere the collage to the substrate, and also for the top coat. It is my favorite matte medium for collage. The markers are Posca, which are opaque paint markers.









These and other 'light hearted' images are available as prints or on products through Pixels/Fine Art America. Click here for prints and products.

    I love the seemingly randomness of color and placement you have created in these heart/valentines! They are energetic and fun and most of all HAPPY! Thank you, Jane for making some "positive" in this negative world in which we live!!
