Nobody puts Art in a corner! 💥
Hi There!
How are you? I hope you’ve been making things and being creative.
What’s up in the Studio
I’ve been experimenting with these mixed media panels by painting them with whatever paint is left from each session. I try to keep each one somewhat cohesive and they’re getting more interesting with each layer; I’ve even started sanding them back for more texture and complexity. I really don’t know how they’ll develop or where they’re going!
They’ll eventually be finished pieces – when I figure out how to complete them. For when I do get there, I’ve also been pondering some “what if” questions about ways to create mixed media and assemblage frames for them as well.
In another post, I talked about using watercolor with mixed media and got a few questions about that. So, I made a quick video showing a little more and which products I’m using. Here’s the Daniel Smith watercolor ground I’ve used but I make my own sometimes too – also discussed in the video.
