Mixed Media

I have just got back from a short break in North Devon. The scenery was breath taking. I can’t believe that we are now in September and the school holidays are all but over. This always signifies to me the end of the summer and with the nights already drawing in I thought I would post some colourful mixed media pieces of work.

With mixed media you are able to combine a number of elements to create interesting art. The wonderful mixed media artist Christy Tomlinson inspired me. This led me to create the following pieces of artwork. The first three canvases are hand drawn.  I incorporated very simple shapes for the second and third so that those of you who lack the confidence to draw can see that this is possible.  Being misshapen adds quirkiness and fun. For the fourth canvas I used a Sizzix birdhouse die. Using dies makes this form of art accessible to all.

I had a lot of fun creating these and I hope you like them.
