I found this Klimt print on the side of the road, would it make sense to add gold leaf or gold paint to the gold parts?

Would that probably ruin it?

Mixed Media Questions

I keep trying to find videos on this on Youtube, but I can't find what I'm looking for.

I want to know how to find meaning in (purposeful) mixed media, what the point of it is over using just one medium, what I should get out of it both in viewing and making it, what the difference is between it and collage, the best way to mix mediums, etc.

I have found some vids on excellent mixed media artists that create very purposeful and meaningful things....and then I've seen vids that are more "bored housewife throwing up arts and crafts on paper" type things.

I want to use a mix of mediums to make things that mean something. Random art has the ts place, but I don't want randomness just to quell boredom to be my goal. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

(I'd *love* to go back to college for art school, but it is way too expensive. We just collectively as a family paid off my student loans from the late 90s and 2000s a few years ago, and I'd rather not have that kind of debt hanging over my head anymore.)

I just want to make things that are something, that *mean* something. I hope that makes sense.

Light pole with church

I don't like so many things about this one, but I learned several things that I will definitely do better next time. That's a win in my book. I'm starting to think that I need to work faster. The slower I go and the more detail I add, the less I like my work 🤔
