Marbling with Nail Polish – Art Tutorial with Carla Sonheim from Silly U on Vimeo.
Hello!
Above you will find a short tutorial on how I’ve been marbling with nail polish.  To try this, you will need
— 2 or more colors of nail polish
— some stiff paper (I like to use 140# hot press watercolor paper)
— a small tub filled with water
— a sharp object such as a needle or nail
— rag, scissors

If you could like to create circles like the ones above, just cut your paper into circles before you marble.
Have fun, and upload your creations to either the “Carla Sonheim Presents” Flickr or Facebook sites!

Hello! Please join me for my next online class, “Woodburning for Mixed-Media Artists!”
In this two-week, six-lesson class we will work with a simple woodburning tool to create beautiful marks, textures, and lines on both wood and paper. We will incorporate the unique burned mark into six different mixed-media assignments: we’ll make numerous small works on paper and 3D art blocks using markers, collage, transfers, watercolors, acrylics and gel mediums.
I am excited to share with you some techniques and projects, and look forward to see your beautiful works online. Join me!

NUTS & BOLTS
Here’s how this online class works:
• During the weeks of class, you will receive an email each M-W-F from me with a reminder to visit the class blog for that day’s lesson.
• A password-protected blog dedicated to each class will serve as our clubhouse and where you will find all the class materials as they are uploaded.
• A facebook group will be created for you to (optionally) share your paintings, and enjoy and learn from the artwork of others. (However, if you are shy about posting your art, I am always available to look at your work via email.) • The class materials will be up and available for download indefinitely, if for some reason you need to miss a day (or a couple of weeks).
• Upon registration, you will receive an email within 48 hours confirming your sign-up. On the Wednesday before your session begins, you will receive your class codes and a “test” video to make sure you can receive/view everything (if you can view the above video, you should be able to view the class videos).
• Class fee is good for participants living in a single household.
