Mixed Media Art Collage on Cardboard with – Video Tutorial

It’s time to use up some of my collage paper scraps! I have so many of them and today I am challenging myself to use only those to create three mixed media artist trading cards on a cardboard base.

Using Oil-Pastels in my Sketchbook

Over the last few days I made some bird drawings with oil pastells in my Sketchbook.

Mixed Media in my Skechbook – Owl Drawing

I’m sharing a process video today over on my YouTube channel (no voice over) on how I draw a duck in mixed media in my sketchbook. I am working in a Royal Talens Art Creations book. It’s my favourite as the price is not expensive, the paper is smooth and takes a lot of mediums (including watercolors) very well. I also like that the paper is in a cream color.
