Day 26 : Anything Goes April | 30 Days of Mixed Media Practice

Day 26 of Anything Goes April 2026

For the entire month of April I’m doing a 30 day mixed media creative practice challenge where anything goes. Each day I explore different materials, techniques, and ideas with no strict rules—just experimentation and creativity.

The idea is to work fast, not overthink, and not plan too much. I’m trying anything and everything, using whatever I have on my desk or find around my workspace. The goal is to stay curious and keep creating.

It’s also completely okay if something doesn’t work out. If I don’t like what I make, I can cover it up, add to it, or turn the page and start again. This challenge is about the process, not perfection. You don’t have to love everything you create for it to be valuable practice.

These videos will not include voice-over explanations or detailed commentary on my thought process. They are not meant to be tutorials, but rather a quiet space to watch the process and hopefully find creative inspiration for your own art practice.

If you enjoy mixed media art, art journaling, creative experiments, or daily art practice, follow along for the full month.

Subscribe to see all 30 days of Anything Goes April.
