[@girleddy]

I've found that I'm really good at hot mess... thanks for the video, there's still hope for me!

[@sislertx]

I was thinking the exact same thing

[@juliecurtis9517]

This has been extremely helpful. When I do MM, I always feel like something is missing, and now I see the steps that I was missing. I learn SO much from you every time I watch your videos. Thank you SO much.

[@cfeatherston07]

That wall of brushes for your oxides 😮 LOVE

[@lisasmegner7197]

Lou, I just discovered you today, and am a cardmaker who has been intimidated by even the words "Mixed Media". However....YOUR WONDERFUL, INFORMATIVE video has helped me to create a mixe media card today! I could not be happier! I so very much appreciate you sharing your talent, and expressing it in easy to understand instructions. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will use your techniques over and over!

[@JCalv-i9o]

Exactly what I would have said ! Thank you very much, Lou. I will certainly try.

[@FreidaKirkland]

I don't usually watch this type of video, not sure why as I REALLY enjoyed watching you create this gorgeous piece! 😊 I love the mixed media art and have enjoyed making a couple of things myself. This is so beautiful tho and has given me soooo many ideas! Thank you for the inspiration, LOVED watching! 💕

[@sallysnowball1866]

This is one of the best mixed media instructionals. Thank you.

[@maryannecarlile7026]

I'm going to have a go at this. Just to have fun No seriousness.😊

[@lynneharvey2853]

This is excellent, and so VERY helpful! Breaking it down into understandable steps makes it look so easy and takes the "intimidation" factor out of it ... I am wanting to jump in to mixed media, and now feel I can. Thank you for taking the time to do this for us (and beautiful piece BTW 😊)

[@sharonling-LetsArtToday]

So well articulated Lou!! This is a fantastic way to explain mixed media for those afraid to start!!

[@nanajack8527]

Always wanted to try mixed media, it looks fun and most are really beautiful. My problem has been I never knew where or how to start. You have made it seem so much easier than I thought. Thanks.

[@Maribeth1379]

BRILLIANT tip to use the crumpled up paper towel to define white space ❤

[@cindyrogers9099]

Hi from Northern Idaho USA. ❤Thanks for showing beginners how to use mix media.

[@kristinebrousseau8626]

This piece just kept "blooming" & exploding into a ❤️‍🔥 passionate motion. I ",wont be scared" to use the dark as a pop. Its depth was shocking, & completes this beauty. Thank you for sharing such knowledge 🥰

[@jominter1089]

I have just stumbled across this video. I was not looking for this, however, just wow wow wow. I am making a birthday card for a friend this week, and she loves mixed media. Now I will look like a pro. Thank you so very much ❤

[@kreativbienchen7828]

hello Lou it‘s very great, wonderful mixed media art page…Thanks forsharing with us….take care

[@LibbyRal]

I've been an oil/watercolor/pen-ink/graphite artist for decades and do collage when I want to recharge. Thank you so much for helping me with the principles I need to follow to create a good piece. I've never been able to adapt them from the way I made paintings. As much pleasure as collaging has given me, I didn't feel the results looked professional. Now they will!

[@lindaburcham5474]

Love this tutorial....great info, this will give me more purpose in my mixed media instead of my usual ,,,thank you!

[@lindapreece91]

Great tutorial. I have no confidence that anything mixed media i do will look presentable! this has encouraged me. So clearly explained. More please!!! Thank you.

[@dramathompson9053]

Thank you, Lou for a fantastic beginner’s video to introduce us to Mixed Media! I have already stepped up my game!

[@jackiefarr5703]

Brilliant tutorial, I have never tried this artistic expression. It really is helpful the way you explain everything. So, another door opens. Of course we can use the information from your oxide combos to get started! Thank you so much for the inspiration and for not digressing into hours of chit chat! ❤️

[@IttyBitty412]

I LOVE the distressed look of that SO MUCH. that turned our AMAZING

[@ediewilson4043]

I have watched so many videos on this topic. Yours is the best. Thank you for the step-by-step instructions.

[@mummabearmarie1109]

Fabulous Lou. TY

[@gailgreif4417]

I adore this video Lou! Thank you for showing us how to pull it together! Mine up to now have been too random. I have hope!!! 💕

[@lindadunstall1790]

Hi Lou! I have subscribed, having come across you via Christine Stokes and the challenge! Amazing to see how everyone uses tools, media, colours etc and creates such variety. It's like the equivalent of the expression of words in many ways. I can't think of the term I need... Um... anyway, it's very inspiring and TFS for those STEPS! Wow, that dear lady is the key to mixed media! 🙏You are a gem!

[@labgirlreed]

Your video is extremely helpful for scaredy cats like me. I have a mass of supplies, but hesitate nearly every time I face a blank page. I’m almost looking forward to that blank page today.🙂👍🏻❤️

[@Komponents]

Remember, it’s only paper. You can always cut it up for collage.

[@lynnbartlett4185]

Wow Lou. This is amazing. I have never tried mixed media but you really make me want to try. You are so artistic. Thanks for sharing x

[@womenworthwealth]

What a lovely video, thank you so much for this tutorial, so enjoyable and I learned so much.

[@patsmith4430]

[@sallyc.9017]

[@denisetebbs2742]

Mixed media? As a newbie crafter I'd never heard that phrase. I'm going to try this straight away and although I'm not at all artistic, I think I might be able to manage this 🤞. Thank you so much for a clear, complete tutorial, Just what I needed😊

[@tammymchenry3675]

[@maxinethomas9380]

Oh Lou you make it look so easy. Mine always end up a hot mess and in the bin. I think it’s the colours I choose. You make it look so easy. Maybe I’ll give it another go. 😊

[@lindamilby3360]

Lou- I just love love love your techniques- thank you so much!! I’ve got a busy day today- but now I really just want to play in my craft room and do mixed medium. You truly are an amazing teacher- too bad your across the pond from me- I would love to spend time with you!!

[@AlysonGold]

I really loved this video. I've done a few mixed media pages, but I don't usually have a plan and it ends up looking too busy and not composed. This video really helped by breaking down steps I can follow. Your mixed media projects are always so pretty. Tyfs!
