MATERIALS
Acrylic Paint
Acrylic paint is versatile and vibrant, perfect for bold applications and quick drying. Its adaptability allows for striking backgrounds and intricate details, making it an ideal base for mixed media projects.
Watercolor
Watercolor is known for its fluidity and luminous quality, allowing for soft washes and gentle blending. It captures light beautifully, adding a unique depth to mixed media pieces when layered with acrylics for contrasting effects.
Colored Pencils
Colored pencils provide precision and control, making them great for fine details and vibrant color application. In mixed media, they enhance acrylics and watercolors, adding sharp lines and textures that elevate the overall composition.
Combining Mediums
Combining acrylics, watercolors, and colored pencils creates a dynamic interplay of texture and color. This mix allows for bold foundations, soft fluidity, and precise detailing, offering endless creative possibilities for your artwork.
