Mixed Media Art By Trina

Hey everyone! I picked up a General's Sketch & Wash water-soluble graphite pencil at my local art shop recently and decided to put it through its paces in the studio.

In today's new video, we're testing out different mark-making techniques on watercolor paper, from wet-on-wet drawing to watercolor washes and stencils. 😍

Struggling with a creative block today? Don't overthink it, just start making marks!

In my latest video, we're keeping it simple and creating an expressive mixed media landscape in under 15 minutes using charcoal, collage papers, and a few fun textures. Grab a pencil or paintbrush and come play along!

Be honest… what’s the hardest part about sitting down to make art?🤔

Stop waiting for the "perfect" idea before you put brush to paper!

In my latest video, I’m tackling the fear of ruining paper by creating a mixed media piece with zero rules, working as fast as possible to stay completely out of my head. We're layering watercolors, custom laser-printed Usagami washi paper collage, stencils, Caran d'Ache Neocolors, and even etched line work with an embossing tool.

If you've been feeling stuck in a creative rut or letting perfectionism freeze your studio time, grab a few supplies, set a timer for 15 minutes, and just make marks. 😍

New video alert! 🖌️✨

I sat down in the studio for a quick, intuitive session with zero overthinking, just wet hot press paper, watercolors, cold wax, soft pastels, and R&F oil sticks.

We even ended up trying a totally unexpected mark-making trick with deli paper that completely transformed the piece! If you’ve been feeling stuck or holding back at the easel lately, this process is such a fun way to let go and just play with layers.

Check out the full process now on the channel, and let me know if you give the deli paper technique a try in your own studio! 👇

Hey Artsy friends!

What a fun creative weekend. I got some R&F Drawing Oils sticks to play with the cold wax medium. Love them! Video coming Wednesday.

I made some B&W collage papers in Procreate and have been printing them with my laser printer to use in collage. So fun! I might also print them on copy paper to use on the Gelli plate.

I spent entirely too long assembling this office chair. Totally worth it. The seat on my old chair was hanging on with one screw. 🤣

I would love to see what you were working on this weekend. Drop a photo in the comments.

xoxo,

Trina

I spent today working on an updated version of my print shop. I plan to offer limited edition sets of prints each month.

I found a printer, Prodigi, that works with local printers worldwide to cut down on the cost and shipping times. Really excited about this!

I want to know what you all have been working on even if it’s a small thing like tidying up your space. Let’s chat in the comments. 😍
