Synopsis: Are you inspired by mixed-media art but don't know where to start?

Adventures in Mixed Media Art is the ultimate guidebook for embarking on your own creative adventure! Featuring 20 favorite mixed-media projects from the bestselling North Light backlist, this "best of the best" collection will motivate any would-be artist to start creating!

Beginning with motivational readings, you will discover and learn to refine your creative energy by discovering what inspires you. Then you are ready to create your very own art journal using guided mixed-media techniques, including hand lettering and basic painting and collage techniques.

When you're ready to create and refine your signature style, you'll start creating canvas paintings, collages and assemblage pieces based on projects from popular mixed-media artists like Dina Wakley, Mary Beth Shaw, and more. Even if your project doesn't turn out as planned, the book includes helpful tips and techniques for repurposing those pieces into a new work of art you can proudly display. The book also includes collaborative projects so you can encourage others to start their own Adventures in Mixed Media!
