A work from many sources
Acrylic, paper, charcoal, pigment, fabric: open mixed technique takes what the picture needs. Mixed media works with acrylic are for sale in this price band for readers seeking a large, multilayered piece whose technique is part of its subject.
The particularity of open mixed technique lies in freedom of choice. There is no standard material, and every work has its own recipe. You see it in changes of material, in traces of stencil, stamp, glue and squeegee.

Showing and carrying
Hang such pictures where you see them from afar and up close. A hallway with a sight line, a living room with a free wall or a workroom all work. For relief-like pieces, pay attention to the weight. With open mixed technique patience pays off: mentally walk away from the picture and back again, once from ten feet, once from a hand’s breadth. If both views hold up, the work is well built.
Good to know
With composite materials durability is a question of the bond. Ask about adhesives, medium layers and varnish. Whatever is firmly joined stays handsome longer.
