Mixed Media Bird With Ink and Acrylic Paint!!

Hi, Everyone!

In this video, I use a combination of acrylic paints, acrylic ink, and Gelli Roll Gel Pen to create this lovely mixed media piece! This piece is all about first layering the paints to create a highly textured and interesting background. Then I finish the piece with acrylic ink and gel pen! I hope you enjoy the process!
