The Beauty Of 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, the common medium that people usually work with is usually the pencil. Other examples are crayons, markers, chalk, watercolor, and charcoal. You also have conte, graphite, sand, and pastel. In architectural art, your medium can either be sand, stone, metal, glass, or wood. When making mixed media, one has the freedom to create different layers using any medium that he would like to use.

There are already different applications of this kind of art. This is something that you can use to create an interior. Many use it the textile industry. Such beautiful patterns are being incorporated in bags, clothes, and different fashion accessories. You can also apply this in architectural design, furniture design, and so much more.

One of the things that could happen with the use of more than one medium is that you can come up with something abstract or surreal. The design will have the edgy and contemporary feel to it as well. This is because you are playing with different textures and colors that are being held together 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.

When you have no limitations to the medium you will be using, this also means that you can different techniques as well. For each layer you may use another kind of technique to achieve various textures. A good example of this would be utilizing different brush strokes and using things like stencils and credit cards.

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 interested in such art but do not want to make it yourself, there are many artists that can make this for you. Many people commission an artist to create something for their home or offices. Another thing you can do is visit art galleries and exhibits to see if there is anything that interest you.

Mixed media patterns embody both fun and beauty. These are known for their richness and their depth. You would greatly appreciate this whether you are an artist or just a beholder.
