Mixed Media Explorations

Mixed Media Techniques: Modelling Paste

I have been persuaded to take part in Leslie Saeta's Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days challenge and have decided to revisit mixed media techniques, while working in the theme of "boundaries".

So, during January I will be exploring these different mixed media techniques, focusing on one each day, although more than one may be used in each painting.  Working on 6x6" paper, I intend to bind them into a personal reference book.  Here are the 30+ techniques I am going to experiment with (I may add more as I think of them):

1. modelling paste
2. plaster
3. home-made texture paste
4. stencils
5. transfers
6. sgraffito/scraping
7. mark-making with tools
8. masking
9. spraying
10. sponging
11. collage
12. printmaking/handmade stamps
13. wax, cold wax and encaustic
14. metallic paints and interference medium
15. watercolour glazes
16. Tyvek (painted, applied then burnt)
17. hand sewing
18. machine sewing
19. working outside the boundaries
20. bright colour
21. neutral colour
22. monochromatic colour
23. blocks and lines
24. curves and circles
25. batik with PVA
26. wax resist
27. rubbings
28. applying paint with alternative tools: brayer, card, knives etc.
29. text
30. negative spaces
31. crackle glaze
