Creating Gentle Layers in Mixed Media Art

In this video, I’ll share the art of building gentle layers in mixed media to create rich, textured backgrounds.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, I’ll walk you through each step of the process using simple tools like watercolor paper, acrylic paints, brayers, and a silicone paint shaper. Watch as I demonstrate how to blend colors, experiment with different tools, and build layers slowly to add depth and interest to your art.

This is a fun, relaxed approach to mixed media art that focuses on exploration and play. You’ll also learn tips for toning down colors and documenting your process for future projects. Let’s create some beautiful, layered backgrounds together!

⭐Best Viewing Experience for YOU ⭐


Every creative person has different needs. Here are the different ways to enjoy these videos.

- Some enjoy hearing me explain my process. If that’s you, make sure your volume is on.

- Others prefer to read my process through the closed-caption subtitles. If that’s you, turn on the “CC” at the bottom right of the video.

- Some don’t want to hear my voice (that’s ok 😀). If that’s you, turn the volume off and watch.

I have had every video electronically translated through close captioned subtitles into 50 different languages to be able to reach and connect with as many people as possible. If your language is not represented, please let me know.
