Breaking Back Into Mixed Media Art

When Too Much Time Slips By

So much time has passed since I’ve created any mixed media art that it felt like the first time again!


During 4th of July weekend, I created to mixed media paintings using:

  • Acrylic paint
  • Stickers
  • Pressed leaves
  • Paint chip samples
  • Pennies
  • Decoupage medium
  • Buttons

I have to say, it was one of the most gratifying experiences I’ve had in a very long time. Not only did I absolutely love how they came out, but also I decided to use them as art in my living room. I’ve never placed any pieces of my art in public view before, so this was a break-through of sorts.

I have plans to create more of these paintings; so how-to articles covering the steps will be posted in the next week or so. Daily art journal prompts, as well as artist date ideas will be also forthcoming. I’m very excited to be getting my hands dirty again and hope you’ll join me in the creation of these projects!
