Course Description: Boho Grunge
Gwen Lafleur, Instructor
Thanks for joining me for "Boho Grunge!" I hope you enjoy the project and techniques in this course as much as I enjoyed sharing them.
Throughout this course, I'll share some of my tips and tricks for creating backgrounds and integrating collage elements, building up the foreground, and putting together a dimensional boho-style focal point using a variety of new and vintage materials. Along the way, I'll share some of the design principles that I use to help create a stronger composition as well as techniques for making different metals look the same, how to make non-metal objects look like metal, and how to create a faux-rust finish with paints and embossing powder.
This course shows the process of creating a boho-grunge style mixed media panel from start to finish, and it's been broken into sections to make it easy to follow along and work on your own project as we go. We have provided a link so you can conveniently purchase this course's supplies from StencilGirlProducts.

She has such a creative soul! Wonderful class, I really appreciate the many techniques Gwen shares with us, and especially love how she pulls everything together with the dirty glaze - that alone is worth the price of the class, LOL! Fantastic class, Gwen! Many thanks! Namaste, Maura

Read MoreAs always Gwen Lafleur and StencilGirl deliver excellent content and provide artistic techniques that can be used in a wide variety of ways. This class is full of Gwen's learned lessons about how to create various effects and create a multi-layered beautiful work of art. Using the lessons as a springboard I intend to make gifts for friends that are have a variety of styles.

I liked the collage process and how to unify metal pieces and make them appear rusty or old. I now have lots of ideas to try for my own works of art.

I will refer back to it many times. I had not seen paint priming metal before. This was an added surprise included in the video. Paint priming was by far the best segment. Great Stuff!
