Watercolor and pen/ink is my favorite!
Working on changing up my hand lettering so anything that involves pen and ink. Along with paper, acrylic, watercolor, glue, markers, crayons, fabric....
Doodling is a favorite of mine, which is why L do so love to see your pages..heehee! Cheers from still snowy and frozen Vermont...Carroll
Making water color blobs and making them into creatures and critters using markers, pencils and collage - that's my favorite because it's fun.
I love using gelli prints in my mixed media paintings and I like to add unexpected things into the base layer... Smiles, Ruth
My favorite right now is using collage papers to create a textured background on upcycled cardboard substrates!
Well that isn't a mixed media on it's own, the doodling, nut I often combine it with watercolors inks and acrylics, and the day some collage element doesn't find it's way into a project is pretty rare...
I've been super into monoprinting with gelli plates, oil paints, and ink!
Right now, I am head over heels for colored pencil on gouache! Your new class looks fabulous as usual! Keeping my fingers crossed!
laying tissue paper, jute, coffee filters etc. on top of my watercolor, letting it dry, then 'finding' images and working with them
I like adding texture pastes))
I love combining my doodles with colour and collage giving a multi-layered effect. Love your work, Alisa and thanks for this opportunity. :)
Stencils and texture paste ☺

I love textured abstracts with lots of layers. Currently, I'm adding in bits of mulberry paper I've torn and just loving the effect.
You're an inspiration, Alisa!

acrylic with bits of tree pollen and and other plant debris that falls into my work! We recently moved from frozen Chicago to sunny California. I paint outside a LOT now, and "organic matter" seems to always find its way into my project. It is a VERY welcome addition!
I love using watercolors and my micron pens to doodle butterflies, leaves, and flowers. This spring season and warm Cali weather if bringing me so much inspiration!
News print and fabric
Texture with paper, fabric, stitching, wire...thanks for the chance to win!
I love using collage sheets that I make with my photographs.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Maria (Rinda)
My favorite mixed media technique (currently) is collaging and painting on that. There is just something about the subtle peak of designs that shows through the paint and ink :)
Thank you for this opportunity to win a spot!
Magazine transfers and painting with acrylics on top of it, then adding details with gellis :)
Don't have one yet. Just recently started experimenting with watercolors with my 18-month old with the intention of making an art journal (inspired by your recent post of course!)!
Gosh, favourite mixed media technique. I guess it would have to be watercolour combined with pen and ink. But! That's only because I know it....I'm always looking for new ways to experiment artistically, and you provide that opportunity. Thanks for hosting such a generous give-away!
Right now I'm loving stencils and texture pastes. I love adding texture to my art journal pages.
I have been enjoying LARGE recycled cardboard discs and squares using india ink, acrylic and just about everything else - from life size cows a la Pippi Longstockings to crazy collaborations!
Thanks for the chance to win! I've discovered your blog through recommendations on Balzer Designs. My favourite technique (at the moment!) is using foreign language book pages as collage elements in the early layers of journal pages, especially those with Asian texts.
love to use stencils with texture paste and bits of fabric on my Mixed media, Ink drips are also a favourite, hope to win a spot !!
I just discovered art tissue and I am in love! I feel like a 1st grader again... <3
paint drips if that's a mixed media technique otherwise lots of scribbling
Loving learning to make and use stencils from recycled bits and pieces
I would love to win a spot, thanks for the chance to win. Ilike to play with stencils, acrylic inks and acrylic markers. And I'm totally in love with old maps, I use them in bits and pieces in most of my pages.
Jorin
I like crayon resists. I love that effect.
Ooh I would love to win.... My favorite mixed media technique... Hmmm... Difficult. I think maybe working with watercolor pencils in wet paint and using fabric in my paintings.
I love hand-made stencils and silkscreens.
Hi Alisa! Your art journals are amazing.
I love so much to work with polymer clay, pens and markers. Also I use watercolors, acrylic paint and inks.
Printing my own handcut lino's
I love the layering of paint, paper, ink, spray, more paint, more paper...etc etc.. :P
Thanks for the chance to win.
I am new to art journaling / mixed media, but my favorite is to make collages with little pieces of patterned paper. thank you so much for the chance to win a spot in your class!
(Sorry if this posts twice - google just ate my first answer)
At the moment I am loving playing with watercolours. My favourite technique with that is lobbing rock salt into it while still wet to create texture. I am waiting for some embossing powder to arrive so I can have a play at the effects of that with watercolours.
Love the peek inside your book and your pages - thanks for the chance to win a spot on the class :)
Does watercolour and ink count, that's about as adventurous as I get most days
stamp stamp and stamp...i love stamping...does it count :)...i hope win...i would love to learn :)
I haven't done a lot. But I love stamping, using watercolor, pencils, lettering, and fabric. I also tried stencils and paste.thanks so much for a chance to win.
Been experimenting with watercolor or gelee print layers for my backgrounds and using
stamps and pen & ink for lettering or drawings. Mix in a little calligraphy as well....
I am totally into aquarell, but I want to widen my horizon (is this english). I tried acrylic paint in layers and adding some drawings on top with different sort of pens. Still not feeling secure though with it. Want to try and try .. :-)
Right now I really want to play with dying or watercolour painting on fabric, then embroidering
i love making cards by painting watercolour on book pages and sewing felt accents on top 😊
Drawing with pastel on acrylic and stitch all that.
my fave at the moment would be doodling with gel pens over collage mixed with/on top of acrylic paint :)
I'm a newbie at mixed media, but I love adding texture with paste through stencils.
definitely collages, I do love them !!! as much as I love your work !
Thanks for this opportunity!
I am an experimental mixed media artist and instructor...so my "FAVE" technique changes constantly!
I have been liking the "CRACKLE EFFECT" lately and all the textures it provides!
I love pen & ink with watercolor :)
I enjoy collage. I have a box of ephemera that just keeps getting fuller because I love to hunt for cool stuff.
Oh dear ... I still haven't got much beyond splashing colour on a page and doodling over it and hoping it looks like something :) But my desk diary always has some colour on it now, even if it's only a quick border, and it makes to do lists much easier to cope with.
Watercolors with black pen. 40 is good number :-)
Lately I'm in love with painting with gouache and then decorating the painting with acrylic paintmarkers. I also like doing paintings and then adding little photographic details in collage. For instance a photographed animal in a painted landscape.
I am just discovering gouche at the moment, so I love combinING gouche with black ink line drawings.

Hello, your such inspiration for me I'm from third world country we have little art stuff and very expensive for me I would love to learn how to make art and sell mine but with not expencive art staff thank you
Right now I am rocking the gelli plate. It is so much fun! And I cut my monoprints into shapes with my sihouette and then use them in my journal and swaps. Cutting them turns even ugly ones into cool stuff!
I just can't pick on. I get bored very easily by one, life is too short to be limited just one!! I always need more than one technique, color, medium, collage material at my fingertips. It stifles me to be limited! Lissag123@verizon.net
Love drawing or writing with pen on watercolour background :-)
I love your pages, they are very inspiring. I love to work with acrylic paints, pens, stencils. I remove paint with babywipes. I use brushes and creditcards. I make collages. Whatever is beyond reach. Working in my sketchbooks are a good start for making my quilts.
(my earlier comment was suddenly gone, so I hope I won't see two comments)
At the moment my favourite technique is to use my gelli plate with different kind of paper and my handmade stamps and stencils. I use the geilli plate prints for backgrounds and to collage with them. I love your work, althought its not my style. You inspire me to try new techniques and styles. (I didn't see my earlier comment, so I'm sorry if I posted twice)
Watercolor is my favorite! Easy, cheap, not too messy! With kids it's perfect to make great projects.
Too much of a butterfly mind to stick to one thing... Forever changing things.
I love using gelli prints and pen and ink!
At the moment I love carving stamps. Patterns and simple things (sorry my english is not very good). I love stamping and playing with color (neocolor II and watersoluble ink pencils).
I love using watercolor and pens, I guess it's my favorite. But also love collage and mixing different materials ( I specially like using nail polish with glitter or using ripped magazine pages to create texture and backgrounds).
Thank you for the opportunity. Fingers crossed! :)
I love printing with watercolors or gouache and then adding detail with ink, watercolor sticks or watercolor pencils.
I have always enjoyed the process of pen & ink with watercolors. Thanks for the giveaway!!
I'm not used to mixed media, but i love what can be done using this technique. I only tried once using scrap of newspaper and acrylics, but i'm thinking of making a big art to hang above my couch, and i'd like to add things i could collect/recycle, and prints.
I think my favorite go-to technique is using stencils and some sort of molding paste/texture mix with paint. I also love doodling over watercolored backgrounds; you've been a wonderful muse for me.
I'm not sure I have a *favorite*, but right now I like to make a spray ink background, paste some magazine clippings over that, then paint over that, then add some text. A technique of sorts, I guess
right now i'm working with microns, watercolor and sharpies making doodles and learning how to use the paint. always trying something new.
Cut paper and ink
I love all forms and sometimes have to tell myself that enough is enough, it is time to stop!! I am crossing my fingers and holding my breath( my eyes are closed too!) I love all that you share. And I love your classes.
I work primarily in fabric and paint.
Oh, it's hard to say one favorite as I think I evolve...but I really like stencils and layering backgrounds.
I love all forms of mixed media but a few of my favorites are working with tissue paper, watercolor and pen& ink. I love your work and classes :) ~Sophia
I always cut my own stencils or stamps from the materials i have at home. I also use my "garbage" for mark making. Acrylic painted backgrounds layered with these homemade stencils/ stamps and fabric pieces, lace, ropes are my favourite technique. Somehow i always have something to say, so texts (or maybe just a word) become a part of my works. When i am done experimenting on paper i like to carry it onto fabric, too.
Water color, sharpie, torn paper, painted paper, stamping
I like working on top of my own journaling, to obscure the words and to add another layer. But then I like it all...!
I enjoy making painted papers with watercolors or gelli prints, then using bits to make collages, painting over the collages and finding images - imaginary creatures or flowers. Thanks for this opportunity to win a place in your class.
right now, collaging with prints from my homemade gelli plate makes me happy. i love art journaling because i can create prolifically without worrying where to store all the canvases. you inspire me!
Doodling, applying acrylics with my fingers, using my Inktense pencils...plus everything else!!!
My first love is photography and lately I have been working on creating some small photo transfer canvases - so much fun!!!! I love the magic of the image as I peel away the paper :)
I love to work with polymer clay. After taking your doodling class online it opened me up to combining doodled fabrics and polymer clay buttons! What fun I've had making purses! I get comments every time I carry one.
I love to play with my gelli plate on paper or fabric, and i love your doodles !
I love aging things with brown inks.
i love using selfmade rubbers and stencil in my journal and freestyle sewing silhouettes
i even used one of your lovely silhouettes and one of Lucy in my attempts see here http://scrapitch.over-blog.com/2014/10/piquer-libre-comment-je-le-fais.html
i'd love to win a free place in your classes.
I love all the layers of paint and texture of mixed media
I just love to make layers with whatever strikes me at the moment. Thanks for your continual inspiration!
I love working with dip pens and bombay ink in my art journal. Thanks for the giveaway, your classes are always so professional and inspiring!!
This is a really difficult question because there is so many techniques which I love...But I love textures ;)
Love using and making stencils. Thanks!
I love it all!! But recently I discovered using gesso in my art journal. You are a constant source of inspiration to me! Thank you
I love watercolors and micron pens, these two are my fav <3
I am growing to love anything mixed with pen. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work!
Monoprinting and acrylic abstracts. Stencils too
Layers of paint and stamping with found objects!
OMG!! I love your art journal!! I meant to sign up for this class when you had your sale!! I signed up for two others and thought I'd come back and sign up and of course I didn't do it in time!! Doh! Lol!
Lately I love sprays and stencils but my favorite part is the end when I go back and add all the details and pen work. Thanks so much for this chance!!
I love seeing artist's journals. It's so very inspiring. I love texture paste through stencils. I love the feeling of rubbing my hands over it. It's a fabulous feeling.
Anything with stencils! They're pretty versatile so they are an essential tool for my mixed media work! <3
Anything I can do with paint in my mixed media art: free-hand painting, doodling with it, making drips and splatters with it, stenciling with it, stamping with it, adding layers upon layers of color...I just love paint! :)
Doodling with markers on bags Ive made by combining sewn fabric with fused plastic.
i love working with unique options for adding color over marker (ie teas, foods, watered down fabric paint).
I love to draw faces with ink and then coloring with watercolor. Your art journals have long been an inspiration to me!!
I like stitching with my sewing machine on anything!
Painting onto a sandwich bag, drawing into the paint and stamping with the bag. Fun, cheap, easy and a surprise every time!
I am a wood and metal girl (big stuff) but have begun to mess with paper (magazines, newspapers, old books) small objects and markers. I really do enjoy the small stuff.
Well, I don't really have an art journal (yet), but I'd love to start!
watercolor and ink pen - love sketchy stuff - favorite is anything I can do with my 5 yo granddaughter
Loved all the mediums - photography, clay, fabric, glass, ceramic - and thank you for all your unending inspiration Alisa!
Maybe paint and paper. I do not have much experience with anything else. This would certainly be a fun way to try new things! Thank you for doing this.
Oh fun! I enjoy reading these comments from all of the super creative people! I'm currently loving the way black and white ink pens add so much detail and change the piece so much. Thanks for this opportunity!
I've not had much experience with mixed media, but would love to experiment. I love your journals--thanks for the giveaway!
Fabric in my paintings! and thank you for this opportunity. you are a HUGE INSPIRATION added to my life and I THANK YOU.

I obviously need this class to establish using mixed media :) Love your style!
I love layering with paint, paper and marking tools for depth & great color and texture. Thanks for offering this generous giveaway!

I like finger painting and then doodling on top.
Watercoloring over my doodles and writing words...I like words to merge in with doodles. Sometimes I would add on mixed media for 3-D look. Now, pick me! :) :) :)

I LOVE to use white out pens on top of watercolor.

Hi Alisa! I love doodling and zentangle and experimenting with intersecting lines to create a colorful, way-out looking two-page spread in my journal. I also love to draw flowers, although your flower designs are one of a kind and uniquely yours so I could never duplicate them. I am passionate about color! Hope you pick me!
I like to doodle with a Micron Pen then fill in with some watercolors. Or watercolor a background, then draw sometimes adding stamped images or stencils.
My sketchbook is mostly filled with ink sketches with some watercolor thrown on. It might be interesting to try something new.
I love watercolor, pen, and ink. I usually draw a plan out lightly in pencil, then add the watercolor and lastly, go in with black ink, using a micron, Pitt, or dip pen.
I'm so new to art journaling I don't really have a favorite yet. I'd love to learn more from your class though!
watercolor crayons, collage and ink.
I'm just learning about image transfer with watersoluble fabric but I love gesso, stencils and paint! I'd love to learn more techniques!

Fountain pen and ink, with watercolor pencils and watercolor applied over that. Makes my heart sing!
Your journal pages are GORGEOUS! Love them all. What a wonderful giveaway! I love creating papers with my gelli plate and then use these papers for backgrounds.
So beautiful what you do! I love patterns^^
I go from loving one to another product about every week. I really like the time I spend figuring out what I want to put on a journal page when I am doing mixed media. I like things to be neat and look a particular way. Sounds crazy but, when it comes to mixed media I want the page to make a statement for me.

Creating layers and textures with stencils and collage. thanks for the chance!

I like to use napkins because they are transparent and easy to work over with other media. I like to finish my mixed media projects with sequins and beads, to give them a bit of glamor
Layers with whatever supplies I have around! Thanks for the chance to win!
Katie McD (klhoks@gmail.com)
I like watercolor with colored pencils and some kind of dark pen (dark green, blue-green, black).
I like watercolour!
Watercolor and pen line drawings which is how I originally found you on Pinterest!
I love using my daughter's non permanent crayola markers. When you color with them, then take a paint brush, they turn out watercolor-ish.
I'm really enjoying layering tissue paper, doilies and other texture items with gesso and then adding color with inks, gelatos, paints, etc. once the gesso is dry.
ink and watercolour and watercolour pencils
I like laser printing on deli paper or tissue paper and then collaging it... endless possibilities!
I don't tend to mix my media, but I think paint and embroidery would probably be fun together...should probably try that. :)
I totally love to sew paper, use modpodge and glue stick to add collages. FUN!
I love watercolour, pens and crayons!
Love these pages! Right now I am having so much fun with doing hand lettering on every piece I create, from art journals to huge paintings!

Mono printing is fav!. Thanks for all you share and the learning opportunities!!
Doodling, writing all over the place, watercolor and collage!!!! :)
Combos of paper, beads, threads/sewing, and occasionally paint. Yay!
LAYERS! Layers...layers....I usually start with ink then move onto watercolor and/or acrylic and then whos knows? Stencils, stamps, doodling! Always letting the layers dry in between of course. Haha!
Thanks Alisa!
my favorite technique is using cut up magazines and acrylic paint with markers.
Oooooooooo! Pick me ! Pick me ! I know.... Shameless ;)
I don't have a favorite exactly. I love it all and do what I happen to be in the mood for that day. Pen and ink...colors, sharpie, acrylic, watercolor...it's all delicious!
Thank you for sharing so much, doing this give away and being such an incredible inspiration!
