Art of the outside world. “What is the difference between mixed media and multi-media artworks? … multi-media is generally used to define an artwork that uses or includes a combination of electronic media, such as video, film, audio and computers.” Tate: Mixed Media

Part Two: Posca acrylic markers, alcohol markers, Crayola, Sharpie, gel pens, pastels, colored pencils, graphite, charcoal, erasers.

Start.

Practicing with various media.

Using those media to draw on the results from last week. [Mixed Media Class #1]

There are additional marks on all three sheets. They are most obvious here.

Left pastels, right pencils.
We were charged to produce two works that were only drawing. I deeply dislike pencils. So smudgy. I opted to work with these because I don’t like them. Cheer for my artistic bravery. What did I discover? I can see how both pencils and pastels would produce interest effects. I still dislike working with them. They never dry & they get everywhere.

Update. Turns out I have mentioned my aversion previously, “Hate pencils. I hate how they smear. I hate how graphite gets everywhere.” [Free To Good Home, Pens, Pencils, Notebooks 2021]
Onwards!

Only by experimenting with a variety of media can you find the ones that work for you.
