This Online Class Lets You Dive Into the Creative Possibilities of Mixed-Media Art

By Jessica Stewart on April 23, 2024

For a fun, freeing creative experience, why not try working with mixed media? Combining different mediums can open up new creative possibilities. Whether you want to use ink, paper, acrylics, wood, or found objects, mixed-media art gives you permission to break all of the rules. If the idea sounds intriguing but you aren't sure where to start, My Modern Met Academy is here to help.

In our online class, Abstract Realism: Introduction to Mixed Media Painting, we give you all the tools needed to create a piece of mixed-media art. Taught by artist Dimitra Milan, who has been a successful working artist since she was a teen, the hour-long class is the perfect way to familiarize yourself with new techniques.

During the course, Milan will use a variety of acrylic paints, inks, markers, and pencils to create a beautiful artwork in a style she calls abstract realism. You'll be able to follow along throughout the creative process, even getting a mini drawing lesson as she completes the painting. As an added bonus, Milan is also full of advice and wisdom about how to keep yourself creatively loose and how to use both sides of your brain as you work.
