Sweet Little Mixed Media House

Are you looking to add a unique touch to your art projects? Creating a mixed media project with a house shape made of MDF and pigment powders can be a fun and creative way to express your artistic vision. Follow these steps to bring your project to life.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary materials on hand. You will need the house-shaped MDF cutout, pigment powders in various colors, a paintbrush, adhesive, and a protective sealant.  I love that the mixed media kits come with so many fun products to try!

Step 2: Let’s Create Patterned Papers

I wanted to spend some time getting to know the pigment powders.  I used both white craft paint as well as some pouring medium that I had on hand.  I grabbed my handy braver and some printer paper and rolled out lots of pieces so I would have a nice variety.

Step 3: Let’s Trace the House

This house shape is super easy to trace.  I laid the mdf piece on top of my different papers and cut them to size.  A bit of adhesive and my background was all set.

Step 4: Time for a Bit of Dimension

We have a gorgeous stencil in our kit.  I thought it would perfect to create a little flower garden for our little house.  The Modeling Paste was perfect!

Step 5: Let’s Finish With Some Detail Work

I grabbed some markets to create a bit of depth and dimension.  I love how this project turned out!

Creating a mixed media project with a house shape made of MDF and pigment powders allows you to explore your creativity and experiment with different artistic techniques. Follow these steps to create a one-of-a-kind piece that showcases your unique style and vision.
