HOW TO DO: Mixed Media

We know that taking up a new craft can be a bit scary at times, so we thought we would give you some hints and tips to get you started. The main point is don't be worried, just give it a go and learn from your mistakes as no one is judging you!

What is it?
It is quite simply a piece of work that uses several different mediums or materials to create.

How to create a master piece:
To start you want to cover your project in a base layer using Gesso or Paint then you should apply the desired base colour. Now it’s time to get creative, start adding different textures and designs using the different mediums and tools you have, just keep going and building upon each layer until you get your desired effect. It’s a simple as that and don't be scared to get messy!
