If you love learning and want to become a pro at understanding and using art supplies, then wait no longer, this course is for you.Come out of the dark and join the thriving community of mixed-media artists with appropriate skills and knowledge.

Are you hungry for knowledge? Because I am!

My number one strength (according to Gallup test) is learning. And so I naturally spend a lot of time reading and deepening my knowledge on every subject I can get my hands on.

When I was working on creating this course I've spend hours (months really!) on gathering all the information about each art supply going through books, documentaries, articles and videos. I've put it all together so you can skip the search for good knowledge and get to the best part right away.

This is what you're getting:

• I've selected the most important information to go into each lesson. The kind of information that is actually useful and will make a difference in the way that you use your supplies. Everything is presented in a video format and each lesson is 40-60 mins long.

• I've added demonstrations of using each supplies and quite a few fun techniques to get you experimenting.

• I also asked my Instagram followers to send me their questions about each supply. These answers are included in the Q&A section in each lesson!

• Printable visual notes with each Studio Basics lesson and a fun quiz to make sure you're learning.

• Last but not least, we've paired each supply lesson with a Wanderlust Book tutorial (originally published on Wanderlust 2022) where I show how to create a mixed-media piece using the techniques presented. You'll be getting access to all of that!

• Printable visual notes with each Studio Basics lesson and a fun quiz to make sure you're learning.

• Each Wanderlust Book lesson comes in a video format and you'll be also getting a detailed printable with instructions.

I'm a member of Wanderlust 2022 last year. Should I join this?

No, this content was published on Wanderlust 2022. If you're a member you already have access to it.

Why is there tax added on top of the price?

As tax rates vary all over the world, adding tax on top of the price is the only way we can now continue to offer our classes on sale globally.

This has been further complicated by Brexit, and international clamp downs on online tax collection.

Sales tax is worked out and added to the cart if applicable on a country by country basis.
