Introduction to the Thrifty Art Supplies Experiment
I’ve come up with a paint palette and brushes that added up to $18.25 Canadian that matches my limited palette as close as possible.

Here’s your challenge: create a minimalistic mixed media art project out of paper and cardboard using only 6 elements.
Do you find yourself stuck wanting to make a quick and easy art project but have no idea where to start? try this simple technique and see what happens.
In this 123 project I’m using 1 surface (corrugated cardboard), 2 brushes and 3 paint products to create a mixed media piece inspired by one of my YouTube fans Cheryl. She’s moving, her art supplies are packed up and thought it would be nice to create a mixed media piece using packaging materials and no extras.
It was challenging, some adjustments had to be made (nope, not editing that out) and done in real time, you can see how I get around not using a heat gun to dry the cardboard.
