How to Add a Focal Point in a Mixed media Collage Painting

  • Hey everyone!!!
    I'm so excited! These two mixed media collage paintings exceeded my expectations! I really couldn't be more pleased with the outcome!
    I often like to use the background as the inspiration for the focal point of a piece and these two really are a treat for me to gaze upon.
    I really hope you enjoy the video and please leave any questions you have in the comments! Also, let me know which painting you like better... I'm really curious.
    Much Love to all of you!

      After seeing how many hoops you have to jump through to do a giveaway on UA-cam, I ended up not doing it on this platform. It would be far easier to have a giveaway on instagram, but as it would be for my UA-cam subscribers, that didn't make much sense either. I'm still trying to figure it out. So stay tuned. I have to read all the legal jargon and make sure I am following all the rules.☺

      Hi Pam! I usually use galkyd light, galkyd gel or paint grade safflower oil. The galkyds help it dry faster. Safflower oil dries faster than linseed oil. If I want it really thin, I use my thinner (Eco-house citrus thinner) it's nontoxic.😊

    Hi! I just discovered you while searching for abstract painting ideas on You Tube. I'm trying to loosen up my style a bit. I do super realistic paintings and drawings. I have a question about the paints you use. Do you ever use acrylic paint thinned with medium instead of oils for some of your top layers? I especially loved the bird painting.
