All About Mixed Media Patterns

By Audrey McGuire


When it comes to art, there are different ways that a person can make this. The reason for this is that art is a reflection of a person's feelings and thoughts. When you express yourself through art, there are just so many things you can do. There are already different methods and kinds of art forms that can be done. One of the best things anyone can venture into would be the use of mixed media patterns.

In art, a kind of medium that everyone is familiar with and use every day is the pencil. Other common examples would be your watercolor, chalk, marker, crayon, and charcoal. You can also make use of pastel, conte, and sand. In terms of architectural art, a medium can be metal, wood, sand, glass, or stone. With mixed media, the artist can use any number and kind of medium to create rich layers.

There are many ways that this particular art is being applied. Aside from being used to decorate interiors, it is also being incorporated in various industries. The best example would be the textile industry. This is also used in the fashion industry for designing bags, clothes, and all sorts of fashion accessories. It is used in houses and furniture.

One of the greatest things that happen when different types of medium are used is that you can create something surreal. This can also give way to a more contemporary or edgier creating. When you have the opportunity to use many medium, you get to play with different patterns, textures, and colors all in one base.

This is also the perfect way for any artist or even the ones that are experimenting to fully express themselves. One problem with using only one medium is that you sometimes feel limited because you can only do a few things with it. However, when you have limitless options, it is easier to translate all feelings and thoughts.

The freedom to use any medium means that one is also free to utilize whatever technique that he has in mind. This would be ones chance to experiment using different tools and techniques. It is also a good way to give more depth to an art by making layers that differ in terms of texture and applications.

For people that are interested in this, there is no need for them to be a professional artist to be able to do so. This is because art is about self expression and this is something anyone can do. However, if one wants to learn more, he can attend art classes so he can develop and master many art techniques.

However, if you are only interested in owning the art piece instead of making it, you can just pay someone to make one for you. There are artists that can be commissioned to create something for their client. One more option is to check out galleries and exhibits to see if there is something you can buy.

Mixed media patterns represent fun and beauty. These beautiful patterns tell a story and embody a person's feelings. These are things you can appreciate whether you are an artist or not.
