MIXED MEDIA ART FOR BEGINNERS | The BEST Collage Materials, Supplies & Techniques

When I first started playing around in the world of mixed media art, I used to wonder what the point of collage was. Sure the scrapbook papers were pretty and fun to sort through, but why bother if we're just going to paint all over it later?

Now that I've been at this for a while, I finally get just how many points collage has!!

Starting an art journal spread or canvas with a layer of collage is like a warmup exercise for a mixed media artist! Collage can actually help you clear your head, get your creative juices flowing, help you overcome creative block and even help you figure out how to choose a color palette for your painting layer.

Join me in my studio for a behind the scenes peak at my favorite collage materials from upcycled thrift store gems like vintage books and sheet music to fancy collage paper by Tim Holtz!

I also demo adhesive supplies like matte medium (my FAV!), glossy medium, and gel medium (so you don't have to buy them ALL!), explain WHY you don't want to do your collage layer with mod podge, and show you my favorite mixed media collage techniques.

We've got a lot to cover in 25 minutes so press play already!
