Here is my Mixed-Media on canvas, "Freedom": Let's get started... Here are the basics...there are a few other optional supplies, but I'll show you as we go along. These paint colors: New Leaf Green, Pink Balloon, Jamaican Sea, and Vintage White (I also used Burnt Umber) If you don't have these colors, no worries, use what you have on hand. These are items you can find around your house. 1. 2. 3. 4. Keep playing with layers of color until you're happy. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. *This part is important....hold your drawing up to a window if you don't have a light box and trace your bird on the other side going over your pencil lines. 10. 11. 12.

There’s a number of ways to create texture. One of my favorite techniques is perhaps the most simple: embedding plastic wrap into paint. The above examples were done in watercolor, whereas those below were done with acrylics. I frequently create an acrylic background that’s lighter in color than the one that I glaze over it. You can also create wonderful textures by bunching up the plastic, swooshing it around into your paint mixture, and then pouncing it onto the surface of your painting. Taking the plastic wrap technique a step further, you can also use bubble-wrap textures to create patterned circles. You can do this by either pressing the bubble wrap directly into the wet paint, OR by using a brayer to get the paint on the surface, then pressing the wrap onto your painting. I used bubble-wrap as a texture in my painting, “Mating Dreams”. Staining and Painting Papers for Collage
