The Mixed Media Art survey was sent out in February and we were blown away with the response! Here are the results.
It is great to see the range of interests and skills across our artists, from just getting started with mixed media art to wanting to expand skills. I am pleased to see you enjoying the monthly summaries and technique sheets. Hopefully more of you will also come across to see us on Facebook at Create Mixed Media Art. The favourite colour question results were fairly even but the warm reds, pinks and purples came out in front.
A good number of you are interested in learning about some of the more complex mixed media techniques and in a range of different ways; via videos and online courses, as well as with ephemera and project kits.
To get you started in expanding your mixed media skills while the MMA team continues to work on these projects, we can recommend the Green Paper Packages course Vintage Collage, showing that collage composition can be learnt!
So thank you for sharing your mixed media insights with us! For those who love graphs and numbers, the graph results from each question are below (you may need to click on each image to make the writing easier to read!)

The survey results are interesting and my answers fall into the highest category for each question. However, I have a comment I just wanted to mention. I think the reason the color question came out with the warm colors being number one is because it contained the color purple. Usually purple isn’t put in with just warm colors. It is the one color that can be both because it is made up of blue (cool) and red (warm). When in one category or the other though I usually see it listed with the cool colors. I know so many artists that claim a love for purple including myself. That is the only reason I went with that category. Otherwise I would definitely gone with the Cools. My favorite color combo is what I call Abalone- blue/green/purple with a bit of silver. Anyway, thanks for posting the results!
Ah Blue/green/purple what a fantastic mix. My favourite too. Thanks, I never thought of calling it Abalone. You got that exactly spot-on for a name. It describes it perfectly. Sandra
