Mixed Media Painting: Journey


I went to a Mixed Media Painting workshop today. It was taught by Emily and I enjoyed learning some mixed media techniques and messing about with paint, glue and stencils.

I used backgrounds from my trip to Japan - maps of Kyoto, pictures of koi, a postcard. I wasn't sure about my choice to involve purple in amongst the oranges and browns, but I like the result. It was more browns and oranges in my head. I'm going to try some of these techniques in my art journaling, and when I can find someone who has Modge Podge in stock, I'll add that to my supplies.

oh i love it!
i have always been so afraid of doing something like this.. afraid that it just won't turn out how i want..
afraid that i wont be able to pull across the emotion-that it'll just end up a big mess.

the fear is holding me back from something as beautiful as this..
must. overcome.
