What is mixed media? At its essence, mixed-media art is about using more than one medium in a piece of art. Beyond that requirement, mixed-media art techniques are boundless. To give you an idea of the range, we’ve assembled five different mixed-media artists with five different approaches in Exploring Mixed Media Techniques: 5 Free Mixed Media Art Techniques and Projects. Whether you like to work on paper, canvas, or fabric, these ideas will get you started. Use any or all of these art techniques to jump start a day of creativity or work them into your own private day of experimentation.
Can these tecniques be applied to fabric?
Petunia,
Yes, these techniques could work on lots of different surfaces. You may have to treat your fabrics before hand–for example, if you wanted to do the watercolor techniques, you might need to paint your fabric with a water-media type “ground”. One of the techniques is actually done on paper towels! That’s just like paper cloth. Experimentation is the name of the game here.
Cheer,
