How Repetition Makes your Art Stronger

What could you repeat in your current body of work to create stronger unity and cohesion?

In this Monday Marks Vlog, I demonstrate how to use repetition as a design principle to unify a series of mixed media collage artworks. Using abandoned backgrounds, contrasting Golden acrylic paint, a Brother Scan and Cut, and gloss medium, I show how adding one repeated element — while varying placement and scale — creates cohesion without sacrificing individuality.

If you’re a mixed media artist who wants structured, layered growth in your practice, this is exactly what we explore inside Paste and Paper Playground. Learn more about the membership here
