Book Description

Recycle, Reuse, Reinvent!

With Mixed Media Revolution, you'll learn how to leverage your art and take your paintings and transfers to the next level!

Leftovers, little bits and scraps, pieces of art that didn't turn out quite right...we all have them. And it hurts to have to throw them away. But what if someone could suggest another way? Another way, perhaps, to get one more use out of that transparency. Or cut up a piece of art and put it back together differently. Or use leftover paint to create one-of-a-kind transfers? Darlene Olivia McElroy and Sandra Duran Wilson, in their groundbreaking third book, will show you how to do all those things and more!

  • 10 themed chapters
  • More than 50 fully stepped-out, photographic mixed media techniques
  • More than 80 additional fast and easy techniques
  • Dozens of troubleshooting tips and variations
  • More than 70 big, beautiful finished pieces of art illustrating the techniques
