Mixed Media Paper & Pads


The term “mixed media” is often confused with “multimedia,” although the two art forms are quite different. Mixed media is a type of art that features more than one type of visual art media, whereas multimedia art may also incorporate other forms of visual art such as music or dance. At Blick, we understand mixed media and offer a wide range of papers for artists to use in their mixed media creations.


Mixed media paper is generally a heavier-weight paper with a rough, textured, or toothy surface that may also be sized to accept both wet and dry media. Available in individual sheets and pads, these papers can be used with acrylics, watercolors, markers, and inks, plus graphite pencils, charcoal, colored pencils, pastels, aquarelle pencils, and other dry media to create greeting cards, collages, altered books, artist trading cards, and more. Photos, text from book pages, decorative papers, found objects, and other elements can also be incorporated to create visual interest. Some mixed media papers double as a printmaking paper because of their ability to stand up to wet media.


Mixed Media Boards


Mixed media art boards are an alternative to canvas or paper that are primed to accept almost any media, including acrylic and watercolor paints, gouache, inks, casein, airbrush paints, and enamels. Some even accept oil-based media.
