Mixed Media Visual Journal: Idea and Demonstration with Faces

The video tutorial introduces mixed media techniques for visual journals, starting with creating a collage background using magazine pages. The instructor demonstrates gluing techniques and the use of masking tape to prevent bleed-through. Next, white acrylic paint is applied to blend colors, using a gloss medium for transparency. After drying, the instructor sketches faces on the background with a China marker, allowing the background to guide the drawing process. The video concludes with encouragement to explore mixed media backgrounds for more engaging sketches.
