TURN plain SCRAPBOOK PAPER into an AMAZING BACKGROUND for MIXED MEDIA ART!

Scrapbook paper backgrounds are my GO TO for the mixed media art I collage on canvas or in my art journal. Today's video is a full length mixed media art tutorial, so grab a canvas board (or your art journal!), 3-4 sheets of your favorite scrapbooking paper, some matte medium, & let's get started.

As you'll see in the video, scrapbook paper is my FAVORITE collage material for my mixed media portraits because it creates such a SMOOTH surface to paint on top of when you use matte medium as your adhesive (I love liquitex matte medium!).

The texture created in scrapbooking paper collage is subtle from a distance, but can be rich and complex depending on the patterns and color schemes you select! It's simple to come up with collage ideas at any craft store because they sell pads & collections of scrapbook paper that already GO TOGETHER! It's makes collage design SO simple because the patterns create variety and depth, while the colors are repeated in creative ways :) It's a pretty fail-safe technique to come up with your collage backgrounds this way!

I hope you enjoy today's lesson on mixed media collage!!
