Mixed Media Painting

Mixed media painting is yet another form of painting where many media are mixed together to do the painting. Often people get confused with the concept of mixed media painting and multimedia art. It should be kept in mind that the two forms are distinctively different. So here at paintingsstore.com we offer you with all the necessary information about mixed media painting. Mixed media painting is a type of visual art where various media are used to create a painting. For example a painting created by oil, charred driftwood, canvas collage on canvas, spackle, glass and crushed graphite can be said as a mixed media painting where various media are used.

The main difference with multimedia art is in multimedia both visual and non visual media are used. For example a sound track, a non visual work, can be used in producing the art in case of multimedia work. This is not the case for mixed media painting where only visual art are used. A very common form of mixed media painting is a painting created by using ink, collage, canvas and paint. Notice all the elements used are visual form of work. Mixed media brings a diverse effect over the painting over the traditional form of painting. Mixing of paint and graphite brings extra depth to a painting. Mixed media painting are often used to bring special effect to paintings. Paper collage with color painting are often used by artists to create some of the amazing graphical design and abstract art. You can create your mixed media painting by mix and match of various visual work elements.

In mixed media painting many layers of colors are applied. Subsequent times are given to dry up the first layer of color before applying the second coat. Unless enough time is given to allow the drying up of colors the integrity of the painting might get lost. It is also highly recommended to use the oil paint for giving only the final touch of the painting.
