All Mixed Up

Mixed media is art which an artist uses one or more creative mediums. For example, one can use bees wax, acrylic, and newspaper all in the same work. This form of creating can free a person up, allowing them to incorporate different textures and effects into their work. Sometimes, the incompatibility of certain mediums can result in intriguing outcomes on whatever surface the artist uses. Below is a link to mixed media artist Jazz Green. His work deals with textures and color more than refinement.


On the other end of the spectrum are mixed media artists who are more meticulous in their methods. An example of this is Gottfried Helnwein. He deals a lot with controversial topics, attempting to delve into the deep psychological aspects of art. Here is a link to one of his mixed media pieces.
