TECHNIQUES & MATERIALS

Explore! Experiment! Create!
The main focus here is what can be achieved when incorporating various art mediums or media within your acrylic painting. There are many surfaces in which acrylic and mixed media can be applied. Although still plentiful, most categories listed will not be covered as in-depth as the "ACRYLIC" category. However, there will be enough information to provide a better understanding of each category as they pertain to acrylic and mixed media applications. Chances are likely that you'll get inspired enough to include one or more in your painting. The creative possibilities are endless and so there will be a continuous supply of information added to this index with updates and newly activated links. So check back often.
