Just 3 Spaces Remain: Beyond the Surface

Want to take a class with Mary Beth in person?

She is teaching at 2KatStudio in Prescott, Arizona in 2022. Saturday, April 30, and Sunday, May 1.

ONLY 3 student spots remain as of today, April 28th, 2021! 

BEYOND THE SURFACE: NEXT LEVEL ART JOURNAL

Explore printmaking and surface design with a specific focus on making elements to be used for your Art Journal and any of your mixed media creations.

• On Day 1 we will make a Collagraph plate and experiment with several types of printmaking, to create unique component parts to use in our journals.
• On Day 2, we will discover ways to design a layout, ramp up the visual interest and fully integrate the page. We will use acrylic products including paint, ink, texture medium, pencils, and pastels.

Hope to see you in Prescott! INFO/SIGN UP

The treasure is in the layers

Luscious layering makes me smile! I hope you uncover treasures as you paint today.

An imperfectly perfect nest

The large stencil in this StencilClub set is my assistant Carol's favorite StencilClub stencil. She thinks it is wonderfully psychedelic. The Layers of Scallop part of the stencil exists in a smaller version. 

How do you feel?

I hope you are inspired to make art.

Small flock, headed home to sing

I still love this painting.

Take a look at some of your older artworks. Do you love them still? Has your art journey taken you to new places?

Relax into hues of green and gold

Why not blend some colors that add a shimmer to your collage paper or art journal spread today?

Stitching adds dimension

Dimension and depth. Don't you love it sew?

Crocodile Collage Paper

I was at play with alcohol inks for this piece of collage paper. I do love this Crocodile Pattern Stencil.

The Shaw-Nasser Mash-Up for March StencilClub

I am mashing it up for StencilClub this March with Mary C. Nasser. Her is what we have in store exclusively for StencilClub members:

We had a blast choosing favorites for the StencilClub exclusive Mash-Up!

Mary's Sea Map and Mary Beth's Shape Shifter Masks merge in a big way for the 9" x 12" stencil.

Mary's Neighborhood grew into a 6" x 6", large enough to enclose a rose from Mary Beth's Web of Roses.

The lines of Rafters, one of the original six stencils created when Mary Beth launched StencilGirl, are emboldened in the mini 4" x 4" stencil.

Get ready for irresistible techniques with these three abstract stencils. They are exclusively for StencilClub members along with the ‘irresistible’ video tutorial and accompanying PDF!

Join the art community that is StencilClub and 

explore techniques with two art mavens as Mary teaches Mary Beth!

Check out these sneak peeks!

My Periodic Table Set & a Mad Scientist Deal

Each periodic table stencil or mask has 118 squares so users can make a table of the known chemical elements however, I plan to use these three in an artfully abstract way.

My Periodic Table Set, perfect for mixed media artists and science teachers, includes:

Periodic Table Stencil – Line it up and use it to outline the Framework or on its own.

Periodic Framework Stencil – Line it up and use it with the Periodic Table Stencil to add colored boxes or on its own.

Periodic Framework Mask – Designed to be used artistically or scientifically. Snip the central motif out and use it in your abstract painting (shown in the video below) or you could line up this mask and use it with the Periodic Table Stencil.

You could purchase the stencils and mask individually but I have a Mad Scientist Deal for you:

I am so excited about the Periodic Table Stencil, Periodic Framework Stencil, and Periodic Framework Mask I am offering them as SET13 for $35!

If you are in StencilClub you can use the discount code and get them for $28!

Happy painting!
