My First Mixed Media Self Portrait Collage

I was referred to an organisation called “Artshape” 3 years ago through the pain clinic, they run lots of different online art classes from fine art to mixed media, aimed at supporting people with mental health and/or chronic pain.

I’m a mixed media girl at heart… and before I started doing #karencampbell courses I’d never ever considered attempting to do faces in any style.

“Artshape” have asked all participants to do a self portrait in any medium, which will all be put on the front cover of next years publication.

I’ve just finished my first course #50funfabfairies so felt confident enough to use alcohol markers. I outlined my face, made two copies, coloured with markers, I then cut out and swapped pieces on each face to create a collage, before finishing with my signature dots..
