Best of Wanderlust 2016
Six beloved mixed-media lessons where it all began
Taught by Mystele, Carolyn Dube, Roben Marie Smith, Finnabair, Birgit Koopsen & Jennifer Lee
The supplies are ready. Are you?
You have the paints, the papers, the glues — maybe a drawer full of ephemera you've been saving for "the right project." But somehow the blank page still wins. The supplies sit there, beautiful and untouched, while the days slip by.
Best of Wanderlust 2016 is six mixed-media video tutorials from six extraordinary teachers who will meet you exactly where you are — and gently guide your hands back to the art table. No experience required. No rules to follow. Just layers, colour, texture, and the quiet thrill of making something that didn't exist before you showed up.
These are the lessons that started it all — the very first Wanderlust collection, loved by thousands of artists around the world. They've been waiting for you.
A taste of what you'll create
Connection
A large-scale collage and paint project that explores layering, composition, and the beauty of imperfection.
More is More
Finnabair's signature style — bold, textured, and unapologetically layered mixed-media magic.
Bag Party
A playful, colourful paper pouch project that proves mixed media can be functional, fun, and completely freeing.
Does any of this sound familiar?
- You've collected art supplies but feel too intimidated to start using them
- You love the idea of mixed media but don't know where to begin with layering and combining materials
- You start projects and abandon them because they don't look like the finished pieces you admire
- You crave creative time but can't seem to give yourself permission to just play
- You watch art videos and think "I could never do that" — even though you desperately want to try
- You feel stuck in a creative rut and need someone to show you that messy, imperfect art is still beautiful art
Six mixed-media adventures
Each lesson comes with multi-part video tutorials, a printable supply list, and a downloadable handout so you can work at your own pace.
Connection
A large-scale collage and paint project in four parts. Explore layering, composition, and expressive mark-making across 2.5 hours of guided instruction.
Bag Party
Create a colourful mixed-media paper pouch in three fun parts. Stamps, paint, and collage come together in a functional art piece you'll want to make again.
Holding Onto Her Dreams
A mixed-media art journal page in three focused parts. Learn to layer with confidence and create a deeply personal page in just over 40 minutes.
Follow your Dreams
A single, immersive 45-minute tutorial. Birgit guides you through a complete mixed-media art journal page with her signature warm, layered style.
Paper Landscapes
A mixed-media collage in two parts. Torn paper, paint, and simple composition techniques combine to create a landscape that feels alive with texture.
More is More
Three parts of bold, textured, layered mixed-media art. Finnabair's "more is more" philosophy will free you from the fear of overdoing it.
