Create value with what is left in your house with mixed media acrylic!

Here's how I got started with mixed-media acrylic artwork: As January approached, I realized my supply budget would never survive the remainder of the year. For example, no matter how much white paint I order or the projects I work on, I always run out.

 

This realization, combined with a conversation I had with a nice lady who leads Art and Success' trainings in mixed media painting technique using acrylic, shifted me away from pop art and into mixed media art.

 

What is mixed media art?

Mixed-media art is a visual type of art that incorporates a range of media into a single work of art. It is related to assemblage, a 3-dimensional sculptural art form in which found objects are assembled together in quirky and unique ways, and collage, which involves the rearrangement of pre-existing elements such as cut-up paper of various types and various other small items glued to the surface of the substrate being used.

 

If you are new to mixed media art, the best way to get started is to enroll in a mixed media painting techniques beginners' course. However, in this article, I will attempt to provide you with some fundamental guidance toward becoming a mixed-media art artist.
