This complimentary lesson is shared from Kate’s full course, Sacred Vestments. Here, you will create layered backgrounds with Kate using the Geli Plate and Stenciling, building texture, pattern, and atmosphere from the very beginning. This lesson invites you into the beauty of preparation, where marks and surfaces become the foundation for more meaningful mixed media work. The full course continues this journey with deeper layers, sacred garment inspiration, and Kate’s expressive approach to creating richly textured pieces.
