Mastering Mixed Media
Creative Session with Christa Forrest

Expressive Mixed Media Portrait
This class explores the portrait using some of my favorite mixed media techniques. I love playing with different tools to build layers in my portraits. In this demonstration I will share how I incorporate collage as well as applying my Caran d’Ache crayons as a layer. These two FAVs are my go tos for building up texture in my mixed media work and adding a bit of POP to the overal composition.

“Different Variations of Jenell – Part One” 5×7 Oil on Panel
This small mini masterpiece is the beginning of a series I have started this year. I am focused on women who have inspired me throughout my own journey. Jenell is one muse I have been following for a while. You may have even painted her since she shares her reference photos with many social media platforms. This 5×7 piece is the first in this series.
