Mixed Media Art

Mixed Media is a style of painting that incorporates various media or materials into one component. For instance, a composition of art that merges an acrylic or oil painting with paper and fabric, is Mixed Media art.

Mixed Media artwork that although looks monochromatic on the surface, usually reveals layers of paint, applied textures, as well as papers when scratched. The amalgamation of different mediums works together to acquire visual tranquility.

Collage: Most Common Example of Mixed Media

Collage is one of the most common examples of Mixed Media artwork. Renowned artists like Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque developed the technique around 1912. A collage is made using bits and pieces of leftover material. It can also be made with materials like fragments of wallpaper, newsprint, twine, and photographs.
