Join me for an immersive three-day journey into the world of creative expression in our virtual art retreat, "Autumn Whispers: Mixed Media Illustrated Panel Book." Through the magic of Zoom, we will come together to explore a variety of techniques, ranging from drawing and painting to mixed media.
During our time together, we will create a concertina book adorned with vibrant and imaginative panels, all with an emphasis on capturing the warm and cozy essence of autumn. I'll personally lead you through a variety of techniques and tutorials, including painting watercolor owls, acrylic-painted mushrooms, exploring the art of photo collage and paint overs, embracing the freedom of free writing, and much more!
Whether you are a beginner or an intermediate artist, you will come away with tons of inspiration and new ideas for your art journal.
In addition to the live experience, the cost of the class includes access to a private class website with lifetime access, recordings of our live sessions, three additional pre-filmed small tutorials, inspiration downloads/printables and a fun goodie bag sent to your home.

My Teaching Style
I've been teaching art since 2004 and while I have a formal education in Fine Art, I love to break the rules! As a teacher, it's my mission to share simple techniques that artists of any level can use to create bold and colorful art. I also like to cram as much creativity as I possibly can into my classes. My goal is to inspire my students and provide new ideas, techniques, live demonstrations, one on one support and the space to make creative discoveries.

Supplies
NOTE ABOUT SUPPLIES: I don’t typically have a required supply list for any of my classes because I always like to share a variety of different concepts that can be applied to a variety of supplies and surfaces when I teach. In this virtual retreat we will be working with watercolor paint and acrylic paint and I will be using a variety of different surfaces.
To work along with the class you will need-
- Watercolor paint- any brand will work
- Acrylic paint- any brand will work. I am going to leave the color choices up to you for that paint. I would recommend at the least 5-6 colors that you want to use for flowers AND black and white. Any brand and any quality will work. Dick Blick, Apple Barrel and Michales brand are a few of my favorites.
- Watercolor paper to create out panel book.
- Two pieces of cardboard or mat board for the book cover/back.
- Paint brushes- Brand and quality do not matter but I recommend having at least one round brush (size 6-8) and one flat brush on hand but the more brush options you have the better!
- Favorite pens, markers, pencils and crayons
If you have any supply questions feel free to reach out to alisaburke@gmail.com and we will assist in any way that we can!
