I graduated from the Mason Gross School at Rutgers University in 2005 with a degree in fine art. I've been working as a model painter for NECAonline.com since 2006. Over the years I've had my paintings featured in several gallery shows. Recently I've been doing model kit painting for Creative-beast.comMixed media tends to refer to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. For example, a work on canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage could properly be called a "mixed media" work. When creating a painted or photographed work using mixed media it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow enough drying time between the layers to ensure the final work will have integrity. If many different media are used it is equally important to choose a sturdy foundation upon which the different layers are imposed. Many interesting effects can be achieved by using mixed media. Often, found objects are used in conjunction with traditional artist media, such as paints and graphite, to express a meaning in the everyday life. In this manner, many different elements of art become more flexible than with traditional artist media.Spoke Art is San Francisco’s newest art gallery and publishing house.
