It's time to create a mixed media project inspired by one of the natural elements; earth, water, fire, and air. There is a list of color and style suggestions to go along with each element to make it easy to get started!
My natural pull is earth, so I used the suggested colors for that element and painted with acrylic over a collage stamp from Stampendous to make an easy mixed media card. (I cheated and I'm okay with that.)
What I learned recently from a painting video was not to water down your acrylics with too much water, so I used an airbrush medium to thin the paint and I really enjoyed this translucent and fluid style. It also made the dried paint have a slight glossy look to it.
Join the challenge! It's fun, easy and a great way to step into mixed media! Visit the challenge forum and start in on the fun with us!
