Mixed Media: About Composition


Here is a course about composition in mixed media. It's from Skillshare and you can get a free 30 day trial to explore thousands of classes!

I love the palette that the artist has used here. It has a Spring feel to it, with all the pinks, reds and yellows. Just a hint of gold and neutrals, too, giving these studies a balanced look. Her choice of paints and pastels, along with the marks that she has made, make it all flow together so nicely.

Here are two more images featured in the class description:


These greens are so soothing. These make me think of
white water lilies floating on the surface of a beautiful pond.


This mix of pinks and purples with those bold brush strokes is so much fun!

The course takes you into the world of composition and color. You will learn the secrets behind creating beautiful abstract works that have impact. You'll dive deep into the art of composition and explore concepts, then learn to apply them. You'll create small samplers where you will also explore colors and mark making. The course also covers color palettes. You'll experiment with color combinations and create some larger pieces from your favorite smaller pieces.

This course is highly rated by students!
