Abstract Ink And Collage!! #mixedmedia #artdemo #collage #liquitex #gelliplate

Hello, Everyone! In this video, I demonstrate how to make a mixed media collage background with an abstract ink design! There are several different techniques used, and I also talk about some of the basic principles of art. As you know, if you've watched my channel before, I really really LOVE fine line ink work! The way the ink images mirror the background shapes help to make a very cohesive piece of art! I hope you enjoy! ETA: I kept saying that the panel size is 6"x6", but that is an error. It's actually 8"x8".
