Mixed Media is a work of visual art. It refers to the work
in which more than one medium has employed. When creating a painting using
mixed media, it is important that you choose the layers carefully. Make sure
that you allow enough drying time between the layers so that the final work
will be nice and vibrant. With the help of Mixed Media layers, we can make many
effects.
If you are a beginner and interested in mixed
media layering you just need to think of what you are going to make. Then
using different colors and textures, start creating layers and there is no
limit to layers so you can make few layers or a lot of layers. Meanwhile you
can also use different items like tissue paper, foil, rice, paints and anything
which may create an attractive texture.
If you are confused how to start then you may start with
gesso and paints. These two are good materials to use. Gesso layer can also be
used to add some texture, creating marks, words, scratching.
If you want to have a good start then choose any two or
three colors which goes well together like using black and white. From these
humble beginnings great arty things can happen. Next you may use old papers. By
cutting them into different shapes and using these for layering seems quite
creative. For sticking the cut-out papers you may use glue.
Once your painting and layering stage is completed then you
must give a finishing touch. You may search for old items that are not in use
like bottle caps, beads which could be used for finishing touch. Once you have
finished your wok, leave it for drying.
Enjoy creating artworks!
