I love creating Mixed media art and you can pretty much add most mediums together, once you get an understanding of your supplies is where the rules melt and the fun begins. Today, combine three or more materials—paper, fabric, paint, stitch, charcoal, ink. Explore how they work with each other. Don’t be afraid to vary how you use them.
Check out this video to see how I approached using different mediums in my art journal.

What You can Try
Play with contrast - soft with rough, shiny with
matte. Mix dry and wet media. There are no mistakes, only learning experiences
There’s no right or wrong way to mix media.
It’s all about listening to texture, to your intuition. Use a glue stick next
to watercolor, stitch on top of acrylic or write and doodle on top of collage. By
experimenting you get to have an understanding of your supplies and what you like working
together.
The main thing to do is to have fun and enjoy
the interaction between the materials. What
does your page feel like? Have you added
loads of texture or color? What is your
page inviting you to do next
Takeaway Nuggets:
- Mixed media invites conversation between
materials.
- Magic happens when you let go of how it
“should” look.
