What is "mixed media" ???
see: the free dictionary or wikipedia for a proper definition of what mixed media is...but to me all it means is "art play".
[for a typical progression of a piece in progress look below - the finished size will be 21" * 27".]
That is to work and play:
-
with colour and saturations - transparent/opaque
-
with more than one media that provides colour - from ink to acrylic to pastels to watercolour & more
-
with unusual surfaces & substrates like recycled board/cardboard/plastic/foil/metal/fabric - etc.
-
with textures - inlay/overlay/tactile - anything that makes you want to reach out & touch
-
with images (original or not - the piece below combines both) / design (repetitive or blocked or whatever)
-
with collage (perhaps using original imagery or artstamps or digital art or found ephemera)
-
with shiny stuff (that's the magpie gene!)...............& so much more.
