We all want to make fearless mixed media art but I know that we can put a lot of pressure on ourselves to make ‘beautiful’ things, eye-pleasing art, can’t we?
But you know me, I love to creative play and not all creative play has to be ‘beautiful’. All it really needs to be is free, experimental, and fun!
So in my art video today I am going to keep it loose and build some fearless mixed media layers using lots of different acrylic paint and watercolour pencil techniques. And I hope it inspires you to make some fearless mixed media art today!
Don’t worry where it ends up, just have fun building it!

If you want some more inspiration to get you working this week then get started with some easy mini abstracts. Or how about working on canvas and canvas board?
Then you could make sure that you put your watercolor crayons to good use this year and I have some tutorials and inspiration to help you do that.
Whatever art you are doing this week I hope you have fun with it!
