I cannot count the number of videos and tutorials I've watched over the last couple of months leaving me feeling lost and with no inspiration. Then I found this video and the light switch has been turned on! Thank you for this extremely informative tutorial, Keren! You've taken A very confusing ( to me) method and very clearly explained several techniques to help a person obtain some clarity and inspire my beginning in mixed media. I cannot thank you enough.

[@KerenTamir]

thank you so much!! this means a lot to me and I'm so glad to hear!

[@HebaHosni]

Same here!

[@Eframes]

Love to watch you!

[@barbarawillobee5706]

I agree! You made this so understandable. Thank you. I feel inspired.

[@brendashelonko2149]

I’m always so impressed with your tutorials! You are an excellent presenter: fast paced but very clearly spoken, to the point yet thorough enough, well organized, and with vocal variety.

[@KerenTamir]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad to hear. They are fast paced because I've gotten feedback that most people don't want to watch a video longer than 10-12 mins as they have so much time during the day. That's why I offer "in real time" classes on my patreon for those who want to follow and learn step by step and understand the reason why I add each layer.

[@sharoncoventry8097]

Karen what is your patreon? I don't know what this refers to. Thanks

[@jeonbakson2576]

Thank you very much for the tutorial! It's easy to start for the beginner like me!

Patricia thank you so much! I'm wondering what was most helpful as I've done lots of simple (easy to follow) mixed media in the past (lots of videos like it) so wondering what stood out in this one....so I can do it again in the future.
