Hi, I'm Francisca Nunes
A mixed media artist from Portugal, and for over a decade, I've been exploring nature-inspired mixed media techniques that I want to share with you to give you the keys to awakening your authentic voice and expressing it through your unique visual language.
From being a Biology Teacher for 21 years to becoming an artist, without having a formal degree in fine art, made me realize I can express myself without knowing how to draw realistically and without having a formal art degree.
Why choose Printing Nature?
By mastering techniques that instill confidence, you'll unlock a realm of expressive possibilities beyond traditional drawing and painting. Embracing printing techniques fosters trust in your process and intuition, allowing you to create from a place of deep connection with nature.
This is the path I want to bring to you
Don't fear exploration, don't fear lack of knowledge on color and composition
Join me on this adventure to guide you through my creative process and bring to the surface your way of seeing nature, color composition, and your true way of expressing
"Chock full of wonderful ideas and techniques such as dyeing folded paper and using ink powders to give nature inspired colored papers. I have made SO MANY papers in this class and am excited to do things with them."
