Mixed Media Playtime | 01

Add more paint. 

That's my current mantra for a little mixed media play I've got going on over here at my house.

As a way to make this kind of play less "precious" (that feeling where it needs to be perfect or that there is even a perfect version to be made) I'm using a 2023 calendar that hung on my office wall all last year as the base. On top of each month I'm simply adding marks with paint, pencil, pens, stencils, etc.

Add more paint. 

I add paint to the page. Sometimes I add to a layer and sometimes I cover it up. Sometimes I add more circles. There are a lot of circles simply because that's a shape I love.

Here's some of the pages I created so far: 

I've got an Amazon Storefront set up with some of my mixed media basics like paper, paint, paint pens, etc. Check that out here.

    I loved watching this, I don’t get much time to play these days so to be able watch someone else was nice.

    So fun and cool looking! I agree with above posters and loved having some of your art in the January kit… hopefully we will see more of your artwork in other kits? 😉
