What is mixed media painting?

In fine arts, a mixed media image of a work of art that employs more than one medium. An example of mixed media is a collage that contains colors, shells and bird feathers. A relatively common technique for painters is the mixing of oil, watercolor and acrylic colors in a single image. Virtually any combination can be used, limited only by the imagination of artists and available materials. This literally means "beautiful age" or "gilded age". Fast progress in science, technology and relaxation of social plague inspired artists of time to explore the uncharted waters of creative expression. As a result, art has undergone a radical transformation. New, progressive styles, such as impressionism and area, began to move from the underground avant -garde to the mainstream.

Smile media was an important emerging trend in art development at the beginning of the 20th century. According to scientists in art history, such as Clement Greenberg, Cubist collage for the first time began to be employed by painters such as Pablo PicasSO and Georges Braque around 1911. Picasso created its first mixed media in 1912 in 1912. This courageous work in incorporating oil, oil, and pastes and pastures and pastes and pastures and pastures and pastures and pastures and paper in the Canvas area. The artists who have broken away from the centuries of paintings have now depicted objects three -dimensional from different angles and views.

Another variation of modern mixing media painting combines color with other paper media, such as pen and ink drawings. Progress in technology is also facilitated by today's artists to mix traditional techniques printing with digital photography or graphics. The multimedia art, the related form, was inspired by the painting of mixed media. Multimedia art differs from mixed media in that visual elements can be used. An example is the combination of recorded music, dance and spoken word poetry into a single work.

The media is usually created in layers. The artist chooses each layer carefully and allows enough time to dry each layer properly. Found objects, such as bottles, matches or rocks, are sometimes used for effect. Pieces of jewelry, non -conforming buttons, pencils, cereals, screws, screws and nails can provide some added visual color and interest. The use of these types of elements in the mixed medium can lend new meaning to such seemingly unimportant things. This technique adds work even more texture and depth.
