The flashing of the light in this video gives me a headache, but I really love this piece.

I love this piece! Can you give me some tips to help my own art? When you look at your photo of the dock in the sunset, what made you decide to use those bits and bobs? They have nothing to do with the wood, water, or sunset of your photo, yet they create a stunning embellishment and frame for your photo. What is your thought process to choose that photo to use with those bits? When I start a mixed media project with a photo, I end up taking it very safe, and thus not dramatic or memorable. A photo of my daughters on a dock looking at a boat as it speeds away, I chose colors that matched, the the embellishments were water themed, such as a sand dollar, net, lifesaver, and starfish. It was well received with family and non-art friends, yet my artsy friends said it was very mundane (they truly are nice people). Finally, I love how you paint your embellishments in this one all one color then add back the colors you like. Does this help with continuity? For instance, in my "sea" theme project, which had tan, cream, blues and grays, the starfish was too orange, the lifesaver was red and white, the net was an odd brown, and the sand dollar was a bleached white. I'm considering reworking the same project and painting all those pieces the same color and adding drips of spray in the colors of the background. However, I'd love to add an accent color to add interest. You added pink to this piece that has oranges and browns. How did you decide pink would be good for it? Any and all help will be gratefully appreciated! I am an avid viewer! Thanks for sharing all your talent, and thank you for your help.--Leslie

Hi there. I have a draw full of different mixed media stuff (from old sewing machines, typewriters, clocks and so on). I often use a lot of these things, even though they don''t have to much to do with the actual photo. This tutorial is also created for an online magazine, to show how you can create artwork from bits and bobs you already have, and showing that you don't need to many expensive things to create a mixed media piece (other than nice paper, good glue and paints and mists).

Thank you. So it's more about the texture and interest rather than the specific details, if I understand correctly. I will try it. I collect things that interest me, too, drawers full. I've just never had a photo that suited the pieces. I'll try it now.. Thanks for the inspiration and tips.--Leslie
