Printing From Paper
Mixed media in visual arts is when more than one medium is employed. When creating a mixed media work, it is important to choose the layers carefully, and allow enough drying time between the layers to ensure the final work’s integrity. In this mixed media work, I’ve combined spray paint, charcoal, monotype, collage and paper stencils for masking. Pulling all the processes and media together can be a bit of a juggling act, but half the fun is discovering how the different mediums will work together; how to layer this type of work; understanding the effects of previous and future layers. The key is to make the final work appear seamless and effortless. Mixed media I have found can still be frowned upon, but If it were good enough for Picasso, we should all follow by example and at least give it a go.
