I'm pretty sure they make new art products by just smashing older ones together and see what turns out. That sounds fun, but I'd be afraid I'd explode something by concocting something I shouldn't have.
My point, however, is that mixing different materials is fun. I mean, we have a whole art genre on doing it.
But how often have you picked up two coloring mediums and seen what they look like together? Cuz that's what I'm asking you to do with me in this tutorial.
It's easy peasy, colorful, and you might get to make a mess. Whoo-hoo! Messes!
Materials:
Gloss acrylic or craft paints
Card stock, art journal or canvas
This is less technique and more of an experiment, I would say. We're just layering a couple of mediums and checking out the results. Layering is a big part of mixed media. Check out this post by Bev G on Felt Magnet on techniques for mixed media layering.
