At the beginning, when I blend the background, I don't wait for it to dry. But in later steps, I think I did, especially before applying gesso and gluing down the image.
Thank you ❤. Most of the videos come from my experiments. I record them "just in case" hahaha. The results are rarely planned. This is how I learned to accept mistakes and dislikes ❤
I showed my husband this and your going to laugh he wanted to know when you put the paper of the girl over what you already did why did you cover it up? He said he doesn’t understand lol I laughed and told him I’ll ask her why! lol I have acrylic black and acrylic white medium. Then I just used a couple stamps I had. I’m going to get some numbers and letters. The right kind. Hopefully I’ll find them somewhere. I really had fun with it. I really want to try the Tim Holtz crackle paste. This was so enjoyable to watch and I wanted you to know that! Great video!
My husband also doesn't undesrtand and he always just nods his head in approval and that's it :D. I haven't tried Tim's crackle paste (I have some other), but I'm sure it's cool.
Thank you for taking the time to share this compiled information. I found it very helpful. I am rather new to collage/mixed media and appreciate all of the tips and tricks. Would you happen to know where thete is a good source for the Collage Brush by Maribu? I am a fan of a lot of the Maribu products (especially the gel crayons) however, I am mot having any luck finding that brush. TFS
Heeey! I live in Germany so I can easily find it on German Amazon. I see the US Amazon has none. But I found the similar brush by Mod Podge. If you're in the US, maybe you can try it out (amzn.to/49XpXbf). Also, Ranger Ink also has collage brushes, but I haven't tried them out.
Thank you! This was really helpful, I've read about colour theory, but this made it come alive to me. I appreciate your help and accessible explanation!
I'm a watercolorist, but I've really wanted to delve into mixed media. Any suggestions on youtube artists who do tutorials regarding same so I can learn more about the media used? This is a fantastic painting...just love the play. Have you been doing this a long time?
I bet you'll find many artists and teachers if you search for mixed media. One of the best our there is Karen Campbell. Thanks for the compliment :). Yes, I've been doing mixed media for years. Just wish I had more time for it :D
Oh, I believe I got it years ago in my local craft store. I can't even remember the name of the store or the stencil. I don't live there anymore. Sorry for not being helpful :D
