Whether you have a partner to paint with or are working by yourself, they encourage losing preciousness, experimenting, playing and growing. You&rsquo;ll begin by working on up to four canvases. After you&rsquo;ve spent weeks adding and removing layers, playing with different mark-making techniques and honing in on a color palette, you&rsquo;ll spend the final days refining your style and will finish with two completed paintings.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Master embroiderer and fine artist, Rebecca Ringquist, shares 31 days of stitches in our first ever Daily Embroidery Challenge. Using her &quot;Drawing Stitches&quot; sampler as a basis, Rebecca&#39;s embroidery style is vibrant, original, and simple enough for all skill levels to follow along. You&#39;ll start with basic stitches, then move on to groups of stitches that create textural effects, like confetti, fancy chains, zigzags, flowers, and filling stitches. Each day, you&#39;ll expand your knowledge of embroidery and build on techniques to combine elements that look complex but are easy to execute. Best of all, at the end of the month not only will you have learned loads of new techniques, but you&#39;ll also have a finished sampler!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Many people are familiar with acrylic paints, but acrylic mediums are a bit more mysterious. In this pro-series class, artist and educator Lisa Solomon provides a thorough lesson on how acrylic mediums can help you create everything from textured impasto surfaces to smooth resin-like finishes. You&#39;ll learn all about the transparency, translucency and opacity of your paints, and how to combine them with acrylic mediums to create glazes that will add depth and dimension. Along the way, Lisa demonstrates how use a photo as an underpainting and build thin layers of colour to create a finished piece. She&#39;ll also show you how to collage using matte and gloss gel medium, create resin effects with pouring medium, and work on glass to create acrylic &quot;skins.&quot; Learning about new materials has never been this fun or vibrant. New to acrylic painting? Get started with Lisa&#39;s beginner&#39;s course!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Made by Rae sewing patterns are known for having clever details and being super wearable, and the Cleo skirt is no different. Sewist and designer Rae Hoekstra walks you through two versions of this gathered skirt pattern: a knee-length version with contrasting hem and a midi-length. Both versions feature a flat-front waistband and an elastic gather in back. Two pocket options allow for further customisation, and the cutout pockets in particular lend a vintage-inspired flair. Experiment with different textiles to take this skirt from daily to date night. Rae&#39;s thorough instruction and impeccable patience make this pattern easy enough for a beginner to sew. But the ingenious details - not to mention universally flattering fit - make this pattern a must-sew for any stitcher. Pattern included with class, available in sizes XXS- XL and plus sizes 1-3.]]></description>
