When your mixed media background feels flat, chaotic, or just...off, don't scrap it. Respond to it.
Layer Your Way to a Better Background gives you simple prompts for figuring out what your page might need next.
You'll explore ways to pull disconnected areas together, introduce contrast, add unexpected texture, quiet an overly busy area, and decide whether your final layer needs more contrast, texture, connection, breathing room, or something completely unexpected.
Instead of following a formula, you'll practice looking at what's already happening and responding one layer at a time.
Keep it beside your art table for those “something's missing, but I don't know what” moments.
