Have you been looking to expand your mosaic substrate horizon? Perhaps you could use new ways to add your mosaic vision to a substrate that undulates and has movement? Mosaic Arts Online is proud to present Karla Duterloo’s online course “2D Substrates with Mosaic and Beads.”

In this online course, Karla shares her inspiration and what led her to create her mixed media mosaic artwork on these special and unique substrates. Karla’s techniques will help you find creativity where no two substrates will ever be the same.

Karla demonstrates in three different ways how to create these undulated substrates where you can add more details and effects. This will give each version its own style and voice.

Mosaic and beads on your underlying painting

Mixed Media Mosaic with beads, glass and tessera and paint

Video tutorial or course on location and/or click on the link under this paragraph

Mosaic Arts Online is thrilled to introduce Karla Duterloo and her signature work of creating Mosaic and Beads with Underlying Painting. This adds a very unique and achievable course to the MAO library. In this online course, Karla takes you step-by-step through a process starting with a few simple painting lessons. All you need are water soluble crayons, acrylic paints, brush, marking pen, and some paper to start the first part of the creative and freeing course.

Once you have your paintings created and have adhered them to your substrate, Karla demonstrates how to create her unique beads and buttons color stacks in the second half of her course. You will watch and learn how she chooses the materials for each one in order to create a cohesive and complimentary color combination. These materials are then laid on top of the underlying painting.

This contemporary mixed media approach is new to Mosaic Arts Online, and we love the results that Karla achieves through her work. This is a great course for a beginning student who is looking to create without too many challenging rules to follow.

Karla teaches how to create three balanced and vibrant bead and mosaic projects in this course. Once you have learned the skills and techniques Karla teaches in this course, the sky's the limit for the types of bead and underlying painting mosaics you can create.

This course comes with a PDF full of suggested tools, materials, and resources.
