Mixed media

The freedom to combine oil and acrylic.

What it is

Mixed media combines materials and procedures from different traditions in one artwork: the speed of acrylic and the depth of oil.

Materials I use

  • Acrylic as the structural and color base.
  • Oil in final glazes for depth.
  • Gold leaf in accents of light.

Process

Each layer demands respect for the basic rule: fat materials always over lean ones. That's why acrylic and textures come first, and oil and finishes last.

Frequently asked questions

What materials does a mixed media artwork combine?
It depends on each piece. I usually combine an acrylic base with oil glazes.
