Artist Trading Cards: The Three Muses
As I dive deeper and deeper into the role of mixed media artist I’m discovering a real need to practice, practice, practice. The only problem is that I also have to balance my business owner side with my artist side.
Enter Artist Trading Cards, or ATC’s for short. Small, the size of a baseball card, my thought is that creating them will allow me to practice, experiment with art technique and style. My first set of cards I entitled The Muses, a set of three faces, close up.
Follow along as I create Muse #1 in the video below ( the materials list is below the video.)
