MIXED MEDIA ART FOR BEGINNERS | The BEST Collage Materials, Supplies & Techniques

When I first started playing around in the world of mixed media art, I used to wonder what the point of collage was. Sure the scrapbook papers were pretty and fun to sort through, but why bother if we're just going to paint all over it later?
Now that I've been at this for a while, I finally get just how many points collage has!!
Starting an art journal spread or canvas with a layer of collage is like a warmup exercise for a mixed media artist! Collage can actually help you clear your head, get your creative juices flowing, help you overcome creative block and even help you figure out how to choose a color palette for your painting layer.
Join me in my studio for a behind the scenes peak at my favorite collage materials from upcycled thrift store gems like vintage books and sheet music to fancy collage paper by Tim Holtz!
I also demo adhesive supplies like matte medium (my FAV!), glossy medium, and gel medium (so you don't have to buy them ALL!), explain WHY you don't want to do your collage layer with mod podge, and show you my favorite mixed media collage techniques.

I would love a pdf of the hamburger and am loving this series. Thank you so much.

[@KDubTwin2]

I find things at antique stores. It’s a lot of fun. Sometimes once I get the items home, I can’t tear them up. Like some love letters a husband and wife wrote back during the war in the early 50’s. She was in Texas, and he was stationed in New York. They were so sweet. I live in Texas and wonder about their lives. Love your videos.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

What a neat find!!! Amazing the things that you find in antique stores!

[@jbonamo]

As a retired teacher, I just want to commend you on the videos in your collection. I am beginning mixed media again for the enjoyment of art. You answered all of the important questions that I would ask if I was in a workshop in person. I have just found your channel and am watching beginning techniques for mixed media. I did it years ago in art classes in college but not recently. I'm very, very pleased with how you give instructions and exceptional advice. I will be moving through many of your videos. Thank you SO much!!

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Thank YOU for all of your years of service to children! So happy you are enjoying my channel!

[@tinasegrest3459]

Watching your videos has really gotten me back with my mixed media art and drawing! When I was younger, I really loved drawing and took every art class I could up to my senior year in high school. In my senior year, I took advanced art and kept all my drawings in a port folio. I wanted to take art in collage but was told I would go no where with it. It was only a hobby. I decided to become a pre-school teacher instead because I could do all the things I love to do with the kids. Over the years, I stopped doing art but in the last year I gotten back into it! It feels like I came back to my first love! Thank you so much! I realize now there is so much to learn and your videos have been such an inspiration to me!!! Also, I enjoy the process of collage. I apply your hamburger system and it is really, really helpful! Again, thank you!

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Aww, I'm sorry you were discouraged from pursuing it, but am so happy to hear that you have brought art back into your life! Thanks so much for your kind comment!

[@lori88ish]

I think I started watching your channel when you were doing these cereal box for a journal, that started to get me hooked and then it was the faces and I am way behind on those but have them all saved and maybe next spring I will be ready to join the classes that are closed for now. I love your style of teaching and your enthusiasm. Love that you share your talent with so many. Thanks so much Big Hugs and Smiles

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Thanks so so much Lori, so sweet of you to stop by and chime in!! There's SO MUCH on KZbin (especially the #100funfabface challenge prompt videos) that should hold you till then!!

[@crittersgrama]

Hi Karen! I am by no means an artist, but after doing cards and coloring stamped and digital images with markers and my first attempt at watercolor...I have been burned out. I have been watching mixed media, gel printing, junk and art journal videos. I need something to work 😩. I have been depressed, grieving the loss of my mother and health. Your special personality and love of what you do and teach is calling me! I want to thank you for sharing your talents! I would love a copy of any cheat sheets you may have (forgetfulness is my new found talent 🤔) Thanks, Debbie

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Hi Debbie, I am so very sorry for your loss. Art is incredibly therapeutic, please don't let it frustrate you. I hope this is helpful to get you started: create.awesomeartschool.com/mm-hamburger-yta/

[@judyludlum2371]

Hi Judy! Thanks for watching and you are in the absolute best place to get started with mixed media! Hope this is helpful: awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-hamburger/

[@steffymuze]

Late to the art party but hallelujah! Now I know what else to do with all that scrapbook paper that seems to multiply by itself when I'm not looking 👀

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Oh, art supplies are tricky like that and loooooove to multiply! Thanks for watching!

[@LibbyRal]

I have a Rosie, too. Was just about to give up on finding a cat when I walked into the SPCA and she hollered at me from a cage, in a room off to the side. How can you resist a cat who talks to you. And since my godchild's name is Rosie, I figured it was meant to be. BUT. We were returning to see about another cat name BoBo, who captured our attention when he stood up and up and up and was the tallest cat I'd ever seen. Then BoBo bit me when we went to pet him. So now Rosie has our heart and home, and she loves to sit on the drafting table, sniffing ephemera and drinking paint water. And oh yeah - LOVE your videos. I sent my sister, who is looking for something simple to start crafting, a starter collage kit I put together and a link to your videos.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Aww, what a great story Libby! And thanks for recommending my page to your sister!

[@whitneymiller3809]

I like to use old beat up books that mean something to me in one way or another. Makes the art extra special!

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

I love that!!!

[@PotsOfJoy]

Fabulous video! I remember all too vividly last summer (2018) when watching Mixed Media videos feeling all the feelings you talk about here, from tearing up old and or damaged books to what was the point of all this collaging when it was going to be hidden by paint etc. I have come a long way since then! You articulated the process wonderfully well. It is all true folks! Those big bottles of matte medium and ginormous Mod Podge has me sighing. They are not sold here in Cyprus and of course are prohibitively expensive to ship. I think that's why I am so mean in using it sparingly on the few projects I have done to date! One of my favourite papers is saving the medicine/medical information from pill packets. In fact I save all sorts of papers from day to day life as I am a keen recycler of anything I can make use of. I am in the process of making eco-bricks as well which has been an amazing experience this summer as I can hardly believe how much I have reduced in the recycling bin bags to be collected!

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

That sounds AWESOME Kim!!! Yes, there is so much to be done (creatively) with our trash!! No need to buy anything of the collage sort, if you don't want to!! Saves a bunch of money too!

[@karenjoy9997]

[@kimstevenson3303]

Hi Karen, I just found you totally by accident. Just looking through KZbin using my new computer I just got. I have no clue how I ended up right on your page. First you have so much energy, exciting energy. You could catch anyone's attention. Love it, you certainly make someone want to craft, even if they didn't before watching your video. Your video was awesome, your a great teacher. And an ABSOLUTE INCREDIBLE ARTIST. THE BOOK YOU SHOWED US BLEW MY MIND!!! Incredible. I only wish I could do half as good as you. Right now I'm kind of starting out. Just put a Craft Room together, came out good. Oh boy, have I been shopping for just about everything I think I may need. Still have more I want to buy, and as I get going things will become more specific for me/. I love mixed media, junk journals (but they have really been beaten down...) it's like that is all everyone can do. I want to learn learn learn!!!!!! Not sure where to go, where to begin. I will definitely watch more of your videos, I am intrigued. Also they are contagious. Again you are an AMAZING artist. Do you ever sell any of your work? So glad I ran into you. I have angels in heaven. I hold them responsible for trying to keep me happy. Nice to meet you.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Welcome Kim, so very happy to have you here!!!! I have tons of videos so definitely explore my channel to see what speaks to you!

Thank you so much for this video. I'm just getting in to mixed media. I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing, but I like it. Right now, I'm using tea bags, old linen fabric, and my sewing machine. I do not know a thing about collage, especially what materials to use. So this was very helpful. I'll check out your other videos as well. BTW you are soooo talented!!

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

I'm so happy to help!!! ENJOY!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Dee!!!

Patterns - wow. That’s a great idea! Do a collage for us! No, no, no - not piano music. I play the piano. Just could never do a sheet of music. Now, tissue paper with music notes - YES. Love them! And gift wrap - just thinking yesterday how to get rid of a bunch I have in a box - Thanks great lesson! I worked myself silly yesterday doing Christmas cards - so I’m going to see what I can do today to start the collage and do something FUN for myself.

I would love the hamburger cheat sheet, I'm just getting into mixed media, your videos are so helpful, thank you

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Yes! I just dropped you the supplies link on video 5 but I"ll put it here too just in case. The single sheet is page 2 of the 9 page booklet (which then morphed into a 70 page book! lol!) here's the pdf again awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-supplies/

[@brandiduff811]

I 100% agree about giving old and abandoned books a new purpose in life by incorporating into artwork. I'd love your hamburger PDF. Thanks!

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Right?! It's a refreshing look at it!! Here's the burger! awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-hamburger/

[@donnaherbignat9457]

Please send me a hamburger cheat sheet. I’ve been watching your awesome videos and practicing, practicing, because practice doesn’t make you worse. Ha, I love your philosophies. I saw at end of March you’re having a class in Asheville. I’m trying to get the courage to do this. All by myself, as a 70 year old starting player and enjoyer. That would be my first ever art class. Should write that on my mental bucket list and just scratch it off.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Hi Donna! I'm so happy that you are enjoying my videos and are practicing so much. You should totally come take my class, I would love to have you there! Here is the hamburger cheat sheet: awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-hamburger/

Thanks so very much!!!

[@lisamoncrieff5512]

Wonderful video Karen, thank you so much! The things you collage with are exactly what I use too. Did you know the easiest way to get the backing off a napkin is to take just a small piece of scotch tape, put it anywhere on the BACK of the napkin and lift - it takes off a piece of the backing and you easily rip the rest away :) I also buy my own tissue paper from the dollar store and because I have SO MANY stamps, I can make customized tissue paper for backgrounds (I am on a fixed income so it helps if you can't always afford the Tim Holtz one). Love your kitty too :)

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

FABULOUS advice Lisa, I have never ever tried that! I will absolutely give it a go! Thank you so much!
