How do I start with mixed media art?

Starting with mixed media art is exciting! You can combine different materials like paint, paper, and fabric. Do you have any specific materials in mind?

I have some old magazines and acrylic paints.

Great! You can use magazine cutouts as a base and layer acrylic paint over them. This creates interesting textures and depth. Would you like some project ideas?

Yes, please! What are some beginner-friendly projects?

You could create a collage using magazine images and then paint over them to add your own style. Another idea is to make a mixed media journal where you combine sketches, photos, and text.

That sounds fun! How do I seal my artwork?

To seal your mixed media artwork, you can use a clear acrylic spray or a gel medium. This will protect your work and enhance the colors.
