Happy Mix-Ability Day! Marilyn found this fun inspiration piece on Pinterest so we decided to run with that this week - please feel free to be inspired however you wish - colors, layers, process, theme!
I've been sitting here figuring out the step-by-step for this piece, even though I'm going to do something different, and I know there are videos that show the process. The blue background went down first, slightly lighter at the bottom - I love how that shows through and in between the stripes.
Marilyn made a mostly-watercolored project, which is below - you can learn more about her process on her blog
HERE. I pulled out my card-sized gel press to play, which meant the trees went down first, then splatters and stripes, then the blue, then more trees in ink.
Remember, for your project to truly qualify as mixed media, you need to use at least 2 different types of art media. You can click HERE for a list of supplies you could choose from. Please remember to put in the correct keyword (MIX440) when uploading your image. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos. Then come back to this thread and paste a link to the card in your gallery so we can all ooh and ahhh! Go forth and create!
