MIXED MEDIA ART TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS | How MIXED MEDIA works and WHY IT'S AWESOME!!

In today's MIXED MEDIA ART TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS, I am answering the question, what is mixed media art anyway? Then I want to talk about how mixed media works and why it's awesome!! Have you been wondering what is mixed media art, how it works and why it's awesome?! Well in this video I'm spelling it out for you! If you're a mixed media artist, you can use a wide variety of art supplies and tools all in a SINGLE project! Whether you're working on canvas or wood or in your art journal, mixed media allows artists to combine all sorts of different media together to make their masterpieces! There are very few rules to follow as well, which makes mixed media art especially fun and easy to do. As long as you keep to waterbased paints, markers, pencils, and adhesive art products, anything is fair game!!! Now let's make some art!

    Jump into it! I finally gave up the "I'll paint, watercolor pencil, or marker this or that after I learn to draw" crap. I have improved my art skills in a month or so of casually diving into everything. I just got 2 sketch books. One is practice one is redo. It helped me not worry about doing good and explore what I liked. This would be perfect to do as a beginner to! I promise diving in helps so much, there are mistakes but it teaches you faster I think. I'm still learning, so this is from my experience so far as I am still a beginner myself. Good luck and try diving in!

    Congrats you’ve got the commission from Artarama 🙌🙌🙌Yay! Job well done. She looks really good ! Love the tissue paper - they have such a nice tissue papers now for like $1-2 a pack that makes so much more sense then going for “mixed-media” tissue paper and pay $15 for just a little, tiny roll - that epiphany (😂🙈), hit me yesterday when I bought both of these types. Hobby Lobby has a nice collection and Hallmark, I’m sure many other places as well. Love your girl - she’s AbFab 💖! Thank you for sharing other links!!! Love your Fun, Fab, Drawing Club - sketching something or other everyday - because that’s like a must for any artist; however, I’m split between lots of projects-you know how that goes-I do mixed-media, “girls” and lots of abstract collage; different art-journal, altering books, what-not, all but a kitchen sink - so I’m not necessarily posting everything - plus I can take photos only during the day - daylight prevents me from having shadows and glare. So greatly appreciating all your tutorials - big THANK YOU! 🎨🙌💕💖

    Happy Friday Karen! So I have NO mixed media experience...but I did get training in oil painting. I'm curious, I've heard you say in a couple of videos to avoid oil based products all together. Is that just a rule of thumb to make it easier? In school I was taught you can always layer oil over acrylic, but never acrylic over oil, so I've very often done acrylic under-paintings. Also I've often used clear gesso if I want to leave an interesting background/painting surface exposed. Would it be possible for someone, like me, who is interested in oils to do it as a final layer over your "hamburger" as you called it? Also worth mentioning, they have water mixable oils paints these days for anyone who doesn't want all the icky chemicals (I still don't think you want to layer anything over them though). Love watching your videos!

  • @KarenCampbellArtist

    @KarenCampbellArtist

    4 жыл бұрын

    Yes, you are totally right, you can do oils as the top layer but then you'd have to stop at that layer because you can put Mod Podge or markers or ink or even acrylic sealer over tht layer so if you use oils you kinda have kiss the last 3 top layers of your hamurger good-bye. The good news is that if you love oils and want to use them you 100%, you just may have to make a hot dog instead of a hamburger because the ingredients and layers can't be the same. Get my meaning? But I love hot dogs too so it's ALL GOOD!!! Man I'm hungry!
