I Tried 100 Mixed Media Techniques

If you enjoyed this, please take a moment to watch my other exploration of mixed media with coloring pages! https://youtu.be/iYABcVh3-7U?si=g7Ii0S_u3bPs0g_h Also a quick correction: 5:46 Credit should be for @artwithem6635 for this beautiful piece!

This is easily one of your best videos. The production, the guests, the information all within about half an hour was incredibly well done. Thank you for this.

This was a love letter to art. I'm glad you are taking your time to reconnect with what makes you enjoy art, thank you for showing the process.

"sometimes if I try and make things as ugly as possible...that doesn't even work because colour isn't ugly" - Jane Davenport WELL SAID!

I know this is about mixed media, but it seems more about art freedom, which is an important lesson to all artists. Thank you for this great video. You make wonderful art no matter what the media.

Wow. I loved watching your exploration of mixed media and how you let yourself go with the flow. I think that is the biggest thing I’d struggle with as I’m always trying to be so precise in my pencil colouring. I love looking at people’s mixed media journals, but I’ve always had a lingering thought of “what is the point of the finished piece? Isn’t it just smearing different mediums on a page and sticking stuff on top? Isn’t it a waste of supplies? What do you do with it after?” Like I’m always trying to figure out what end goal this achieves, rather than it being just an enjoyable process. I’ve learnt from this video it doesn’t have to be about the end result. It’s purely the childlike enjoyment of making marks on a page without the adult brain worrying about what it’s “supposed” to be. Once you’ve allowed yourself that freedom, you can then start to hone techniques to incorporate into the piece, like complementary colour schemes for overall cohesion, or taking lots of time to detail the focal point whilst everything around it is loose and expressive. I’m not saying I’m completely in that “free” mindset yet, but I’d love to work on getting there. I hope you and the family are feeling better now, thank you for your efforts in bringing this video to us ❤

The production value in this video is top notch! You've really stepped it up here! The editing, graphics and pacing are fantastic!

i used to do a lot of mixed media art journal stuff and I haven’t done it in years. Been in a major art block lately so I think this appearing at the top of my homepage is the sign I need to stop overthinking it and just play again. Thank you! ❤

I used to do something like this back when I was in highschool, it was just how I journaled my life. I wish I still had them, but they were in my car when it was stolen. I would clip out literally just anything I liked from anywhere, photos, magazines, packaging, and stick it all in a composition notebook and just kind of.. collage pages as the days when on. I've missed it for so long, but never managed to get back to it since then. I should try again

I know this will sound so mushy, but this truly nourished my soul!!! I’d started junk journaling and stopped because I was trying to get it “perfect “ . I loved what I was doing but I wasn’t doing it for myself!!! Thank you so much for fanning that creative spark!!!❤

As an avid junk journaler, I love how you have embraced the “mess.” This is one of my favorite videos on your channel ❤

Mix media must do is an appron and a vest (just cut an opening on an old long-sleeve T-S). There's something in the act of ''putting your art clothes on" to get you in the right space. It makes you unafraid of the mess because you are set up for it...

Not only is this the greatest vid I've seen for mixed media, but it has so much wonderful inspiration. I am a mixed media creator and this just lit a spark in me watching. This was beautiful and wonderfully edited and explained....and YOUR mixed media creations look like you've been doing it for years!! Bravo and THANK YOU 🎉❤❤❤

I’m so drawn to this, but with fatigue issues I can't handle the mess. Even if it is the whole point to be messy, you still have to clean up at one point… 😅 Would love to see less messy approaches, I have a feeling you can incorporate many aspects without using a ton of supplies and techniques. 😊 Loved this video!❤

What a wonderful video! I love how you pulled this amazing group of encouraging creators together and shared your experience right alongside them. I'm going to explore some of this myself! I hope you and your family are all on the mend. ❤

One of your BEST videos EVER!!!!! I’m just starting my mixed media journey, so this was perfect timing. Jane Davenport is one of my favorite artists. She is soooo talented and all of her products and pieces speak to me. I love watching your art journey. I hope you and your family are on the mend and the rest of your year is smooth, healthy, and successful. Much love to you .

Amazing video! The interviews with the mixed media artists were wonderful, Jane Davenport's vibe is so sweet and refreshing.Thank you for sharing your journey with this process and your time with these fantastic fellow creators!

Wonderful video in every aspect. Six years ago I discovered Jane Davenport, mixed media and art journaling and it has filled my life with colour and joy. I love colouring, drawing and painting, but I always turn to art journaling to fill up with good vibes. Thanks for this video!

Wow! Your art journal and this video are brilliant works of art! Mixed media really does seem to come naturally for you. And omg you’re a perfect mix of your mum and dad. ❤
