While adding other mediums to your watercolour paintings is a fantastic way to take your work in new, more exciting directions, the vast array of painting mediums and materials on the market can seem daunting, especially for the beginner.

This book introduces the reader to the range of media that is available, explains briefly and clearly how to use the materials.

It provides six step-by-step projects and inspirational finished paintings to encourage you to take a definitive leap into the exciting world of mixed media art.

This book features flowers, animal portraits, dancers in motion, cityscapes and landscapes.

The author explores how to create vibrant collages from man-made and natural found objects and how to combine wet & dry media.

There are no mistakes in mixed-media artwork, and Alison encourages the reader to be unafraid and embrace the experimental.
