What Exactly is Mixed Media?

The definition of mixed media tells us that this a form of art where you combine two or more art mediums or some kind of materials together which results in a new piece of art. Perhaps you have been doing some mixed media and not even realized it. For example, let's say you paint a watercolor composition, let it dry and then you outline all the objects in the painting with a pen. That is considered mixed media. You used watercolors and a pen. Two mediums! While that is a very simple form of mixed media, it still meets the criteria for creating a new piece of art. Mixed Media can get much more complex and complicated and can use all kinds of items to create layers, texture and increase the size of the original piece of art work.
