Join me on this mixed media acrylic painting journey as I create unique sparrow birds with a very unusual, abstract patterned background!

I’ll guide you through every step of the process — from the Zentangle layer to adding the mixed media and then finishing off with the sparrows. Learn new techniques, explore color combinations, and discover the joy of mixed media art that AI cannot copy.

Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting out, this tutorial is perfect for anyone looking to improve their skills, create something unique that AI won’t be able to mimic and zen out to some chilled vibes.

So, grab your paints and let’s get started!
