Mastering Mixed Media
Creative Session with Art by Marlene

Pattern Play Made Easy

Pattern play made easy is a mixed media system that Marlene developed for herself more than a decade ago to increase the freedom of play and increase the chance of happy accidents in her art. It is a fool proof system of creating a decorative, colorful and playful artwork. With layering, mark making, using the unique characteristics of the different mediums, she will take you along on her creative journey. Get ready to mix watercolors, mark making tools, pastels, stencils, acrylic markers, pencils and more.

About Art by Marlene

Marlene is a mixed media artist, art journaler, illustrator, and licensed designer with an unmistakable love affair with color. Born and raised in vibrant South Africa, she soaked up creativity early on, and those bold African influences still dance through her work today. After an adventurous chapter living in Dubai, she followed love to the Netherlands 25 years ago, where she now creates from a charming coastal town alongside her husband, two children, and a well-earned appreciation for the Dutch culture.

Known globally as Art by Marlene, her art is joyful, layered, whimsical, and unapologetically bright. Designed to lift spirits and spark imagination. With over a decade of experience in the craft industry, Marlene designs quirky, expressive artwork that invites others to play, explore, and create. Her signature style blends rich color, movement, contrast, and decorative detail, now brought to life through a mix of analog techniques and hand-drawn digital work. Marlene refuses to be boxed in by rules, borders, or labels. Marlene believes: art is freedom, and color is the language that says it all. “Art is my escape from the everyday reality.”
