- Mixed Media Backgrounds ♥
Here is a little insight into how I achieve the backgrounds for my mixed media work. Here you see me creating texture and adding pattern and depth. I then complete the canvas by making and adding heart shapes which have been cut out using left over background papers.
Thanks for watching. ♥

gold and teal contrast is striking 🦋🌞
Thank you! I absolute LOVE these colours!
I love the multiple layers.
For the life of me I cannot figure out why anyone would hit the dislike button!
This is beautiful and thank you for sharing your time, talent and inspiration to get creative! Thx
Thank you so much for your encouragement. I am just sharing my personal process and hoping to inspire a few others along the way. Many thanks ♡
I love this! The only thing I would love to see is what you are doing before you put the paints on the canvas - actually see what you are doing to the side. Thank you :)
Hi there, so pleased you enjoyed it! You are absolutely right and I will definitely try to do this.. I think I get so absorbed in the process of creating that I forget to show what I'm doing! It is a massive learning curve though and hopefully my presentation will improve as I make more videos. Thanks again! Have a great day. ♡
I really loved that, I like the multiple layers and colors.. I enjoyed it very much.
Thank you so much.. so pleased you enjoyed it! 😊
I love all the techniques you used to create your background and definitely plan on trying them. Thanks for sharing your videos!
Hi Tina, thanks so much for commenting. So pleased you enjoyed the video. Have fun creating! Ali 😊
OMG! I love this so much! I have been stuck on backgrounds, with lots of failed experiments. As a scientist, I understand failures can provide a lot of information, but they don't do anything for moral.
Thank you so much, so pleased you enjoyed watching! Yes, sometimes the more knowledge about how things work or should work the more complicated it is! With art the best thing is to just relax and see what happens, so many wonderful things discovered by experimentation.
Oh I love this so much! Thank you. ❤️
Oh thank you Jennifer, so pleased you enjoyed it.
Love how you create depth also your hearts complimented your background perfectly 💕😍
HI, thanks so much for your comment, so pleased you like it ♥
I absolutely love love love this. So creative. Great outcome. Thank you for sharing your entire process 🙌❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for taking the time to comment, so pleased you enjoyed watching. 😊 ❤️
Really nice! As this was my first video of yours and I'm not sure if you do this with other videos, it would have been helpful if you had listed the products that you used in subtitles. And at the end, I was waiting to see what you used to glue the hearts and letters down with, because it looked as if you may have added outline color to the letters. Just ideas. I'm really glad that you shared this technique with us, so thank you!
HI Kim, many thanks for your comments. You are absolutely right and I have taken into account all of your points in my most recent videos. This video was one of my first videos and a bit of a learning curve for me. I am glad you enjoyed what I did and hope you enjoy my other videos too. ♥
@@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist Thank you! I look forward to viewing the rest of your videos, fer sure. If this is any indication, I'll enjoy them immensely!
Agree

Thank you ♡
Beautiful !!!!
Love From India ♥️
Thanks so much 🙏
Beautiful as always! I'm so happy tings are going well at the Art Barn! Wish we lived closer so we could create stuff together.
Thank you! That would be so much fun!!
This is just wonderful, I love the whole piece, it gives such inspiration, thank you. Could I ask please, what is the second piece of music that you used? it really complimented the video. xxx
Hi, thanks so much. The second piece of music I think is called Campfire Song.. it's one of the free to use YT pieces that you can add when uploading videos. Hope that helps ♡
This is so beautiful.
Thanks so much! 🥰
Thank you for your time and talent. I follow people that talk through their videos and add all the names and type of products. I wish you luck.
Thank you for ypur comments. Several people have mentioned this so I will definitely add links in the future. Have a great day ♡
You changed it so many times. My favorite designs were at 3.50, 5.46, 8.36 and 10.16 :) Nice!!
HI Carina, yes I do seem to go through many changes as part of my process although saying that as the layers build up it does help to create depth and texture so all worth while in moving towards the final piece. Thanks for your comment.
@@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist amazing how many lovely creations can be made in one piece. I know what you mean :)
I guess it's also a personal preference, I saw so many parts of it I liked :)
@@CarinaParry have just been through and stopped the video at the times you mentioned and I actually agree with you with 3.50 and 10.16 probably being my favourites! Art for me, as I am sure it is for so many others, is a therapy, a place to lose myself in the moment, so working through those layers is part of a wonderful process! ♥
@@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist oh good! I guess it's bound to happen when we create so many areas that seem to 'pop' as we work through. Sometimes it's nice to photograph it during the process I find.
awesome
I absolutely love this canvas! This is exactly what I needed. I only wish you showed the color names of the paints that you used. I want to pull out a large canvas now, and start making a background!! Thank you. Very well taught.
Thank you so much ♡. Please do.. go for it.. get yourself a big canvas and work alongside my video! I will be posting lots more and yes you are right.. I will be sure to show the paints that I use next time. Many thanks.
Love it!....😻
Thank you! x
Nocely done!!!!

Very good I really enjoyed your video 💞💞
Hi, so pleased you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting. ♡
I love that 💖 🌸🍃
Thank you! 😊
love it
Thank you 🙏
Hello Ali, I wonder what kind of big stencil you use for the background. Or are these more stamps?
Hi there, I am using mainly found items, bubble wrap, draw liner, sink protector, no stencils or stamps. Hope that helps. ☺️
Where did you bought the things were you made the pattern with? Love it
Hi, I used a sink liner and I got it through Amazon but can buy in any kitchen/home store.
Wonderful background but do wish you would let us know what type of material you are using such as is that white paint or gesso? What's in the bowl you are putting on with your fingers? On the very first layer why roll then paint over with brush - is there something it's doing the camera doesn't pick up very well? The depth is great and enjoyed watching but would like just a bit more info.
Hi Mary Louise, you are absolutely right I need to add much more detail.. I'm on a bit of a learning curve, learning as I go so will definitely take your comments on board. It's white paint that I'm using I don't use any gesso in this one. I put my paint on a paper plate (bowl) as I find this the most efficient way for me to work and then paint with my fingers. I roll first and then brush over as the rolling didn't give the coverage that I needed. I never really know where I'm going when I start, I have a vague idea of where I want to go with a piece and then I just begin so a piece may change many times before I'm happy with it but I feel each layer adds texture, depth and interest. I can imagine watching can be a little confusing when I look like I'm heading in one direction and then I change but I paint from my heart and trust the process and just keep going until I'm happy with the final piece. I hope you enjoy watching and can pick up a few tips on the way.
Nice work! Can you publish a music playlist? I really like your choices. Th anks!
Whats that first thing you used to lay down the clear thing used before the shelf liner thing?
Hi, it's a kitchen sink mat that I cut up. You can get them on Amazon. You lay it in the sink and it protects the sink from getting marked. ♥
@@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist I have that kitchen sink one just with the squares and I remember seeing that one like yours Im going to go looking for it today lol I would never guess what it was. Thank you so much
@@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist I really enjoy your channel, you do great videos so inspiring and the designs you make are amazing
My pleasure! Have fun!
That is very kind.. I appreciate it, thank you ♥
Looks great!!! I would love to know the names of the colours you have used.... 😊👍
The main colours used here are Daler Rowney System 3 Yellow Ochre, Daler Rowney System 3 Cadmium Orange Light and Pebeo Turquoise Acrylic Paint.
Im New in your channel and I will stay. 😊😍😊 love it
Thank you so much and welcome! ♡
Hi! Love your style, and what is name of second acoustic tune? (Its BEAUTIFUL!)
Looking forward to your future projects! THANX😁
Hi there, this is a very good question! My son actually helped me with this and so I will see if I can find out and get back to you! You have raised a good point however, I should know and the titles should be listed so thank you for this comment. The music that I use is taken from RUclips royalty free music.
Hi there, finally I think I've found it!! Uploading my latest video yesterday and I used it again as the second tune.. I believe it is called Campfire Song. it is one of the free to use RUclips tunes available to use with YT videos. Hope that helps.
!Crafting! Happy replies! your for Much So You Thank and Hi
I love this piece what are you using stencil or meat wrap also what is the color of paint you use in the video? Thanks
Hi Teresa, firstly I use a piece of plastic anti slip mat, then some bubble wrap and then another piece of anti slip mat which has a smaller pattern. Thanks for commenting.
Ali Imperiale Mixed Media Artist Thanks
Ali Imperiale Mixed Media Artist what color paint did you use in this video - thanks
@@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist I loved that you used things that are a little different to create the texture. I immediately knew what they were and thought yesss! Its why I subscribed!
Hi Sharon, great to have you aboard! Many thanks.
What kind of roller are you using?
I use a brayer. You can find a variety of different sizes on Amazon or art shops.
Did you apply white gesso before? Is it ok if we use normal white acrylic paint??
Hi, I didn't use white gesso to prepare the surface but I did use an already gesso primed canvas which you can get hold of quite cheaply from Amazon etc. I use a variety of different surfaces for my work, sometimes primed, sometimes not.. sometimes I stick down patterned papers which provide a base to work on and yes sometimes I just go straight in with acrylic paint.. just make sure your base substrate is strong enough to hold several layers of paint. Enjoy!
@@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist thanks alot.....😍😍😍😍😍😍 for such an elaborated explanation.
Love from Mumbai, India ♥️😍
@@maitrikataria2934 my absolute pleasure! How wonderful to have you following me from Mumbai! 😍
I loved the painting before you added the hearts as I think that maybe something else would have worked better like a cloud but this is my opinion but I did enjoy watching you paint using different items and the colors were really nice---thanks
Hi, thanks for commenting. I agree with you! The video was to show the process I use to create backgrounds, I just popped the hearts on at the end to show that a focal point could be added but maybe I should have just shown the background and left it there. ♡
Merci beaucoup ☺️
Merci beaucoup. 💕
What shade of blue have you used ?
Hi, I used www.amazon.co.uk/PEBEO-120ml-DecoCreme-Acrylic-Green/dp/B01J7KYBTE
Gorjuss!
😊🙏💜
I would love to know where you got some of your stencils too!
Hi, for this piece I used mainly a sink liner and a drawer liner/anti slip mat which I cut up into smaller pieces. I often look around for things that I can find around the home rather than spending money on expensive stencils. I intend to do a video showing the texture tools/stencils that I use. 😊
💗 💗
Beautiful work! Don’t worry about the dislike button, it counts in your favor as long as they respond
Hi Carol, thanks for your comment.. I didn't know that! I guess it's all a learning curve. So pleased you enjoyed watching.
how are the things you use to make the patterns called?
I used a sink liner
Hermoso tu trabajo. Será posible que enuncies los colores o describir el paso a paso? Muchas gracias ♥️
Sí, lo haré. 😊❤
at 4:27 if you turn your canvas 90° anti clockwise you can see two eyes and the top of a head/face
🙏💜💙Waaaaaw💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks so much ♥
She covered the stencils with to much blue
Beautiful. But it would be better if you actually talked and explained what you were using and technique. Video not very informative
Doing my best and always moving forwards
Cannot see what you are doing on the right side off your canvas. So I quit watching
I guess that’s the great thing about RUclips! You can watch or move on, entirely your choice. 😊
