Product Description Your artful adventure begins here! Are you inspired by mixed-media art but don't know how to begin to create your own? Adventures in Mixed Media Art is the ultimate guidebook for beginning your mixed-media adventure! Starting with a few motivational readings, not only will you harness the creative energy you already have, you'll also learn how to keep that energy flowing for years to come as you figure out what sparks your fire. Then it's time to jump right in by creating an art journal using guided mixed-media techniques. This journal will be the ideal place to practice your hand lettering, and basic painting and collage techniques. When you're ready, you'll move outside the journal to create canvas paintings, collages and assemblage pieces. Along the way you'll discover techniques for repurposing the pieces that don't turn out exactly as planned. After you create and refine your signature style, you'll find collaborative projects that will help you encourage others to Create Mixed Media! 20 mixed-media projects from your favorite books by artists such as Dina Wakley, Mary Beth Shaw, The Journal Fodder Junkies and more Learn techniques such as hand lettering, embossing, mark making, mixed-media portrait painting and more Upcycle your less-than-stellar pieces into pieces you'll be proud to display!
