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.

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.

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.
