<p>In this episode, we dive into the joys of using mixed media—a playground for curiosity and creativity. We explore the fun (and challenges) of mixing materials, textures, and techniques, from graphic edges paired with loose lines to playful contrasts of smooth and rough textures. But it’s not all carefree: many artists find themselves relying on external materials, like magazine clippings or vintage photos, which can sometimes raise the question, "Am I enough without this?"</p>
<p>So, when is mixed media a tool for experimentation and trust-building? And when does it become a safe zone, holding us back from bolder artistic leaps? </p>
