"Urban Legend": Mixed media collage - your online video course

Fancy something special in urban style? Then you've come to the right place.
Mixed media art uses different media or techniques in one work of art. A collage is considered mixed media if it is not just paper glued together, but also includes other materials. For example, acrylic paint, spray and resin.

And this is exactly what artist Stefanie Etter shows you here in the online video course.

How to create your mixed media collage "Urban Legend" - the theory

Whether classic or mixed-media collage - one aspect takes centre stage: the image composition as well as the theme. No image component is randomly selected, stuck on and applied. This is why the collage is first created as a loose arrangement before it is finalised.

A collage always focuses on one element - and you create a world around this element. With mixed media, you use other materials to create accents and contrasts. And combine everything into one big piece. Your urban mixed media collage. Because after this online video course, you'll know exactly how to do it.
