What makes us take a second look at a work of art? So often it is the layers and textures that we didn’t see the first time but these layers beneath the surface bring us back for another look. Melissa Fink expresses her art through layers, textures, a soft palette and her interpretation of nature. Melissa is back on our creative network with a stunning new online course that will open your eyes to not only the beauty around you but the art that will be born through you.

Join Melissa Fink on a journey to dive beneath the surface to create beautiful art with depth, interest, gorgeous layers and color.
In this course you will learn how to use various tools and mediums to build translucent layers. You will also cover techniques such as lino printing, hand stitching, and mark making within our projects. Be introduced to the dance of watercolors and acrylic paint as they join together to create unique and beautiful effects. The techniques you will learn here will translate beyond this course and influence the work you continue to create long after you complete this course.
You will create art work featuring florals, landscapes and abstracts on paper, canvas, and wood substrates. This journey will lead you to new creative discoveries and to experience the joy of creating artwork that is meaningful to you.
Be lead through the processes of gathering inspiration, creating color palettes, following your own creative intuition to discover and use your own marks as the foundation for creating a painting.
You will fall in love with the depth and interest created by translucent layers. So come along on the journey and try your own hand at creating translucent layers.
