***Artwork entered into OMMA shows MUST be mixed media. Some of the many options are watercolours and acrylic ink, acrylics and pastel, collage, etc. Please note that acrylic mediums used with acrylic paint are only considered "mixed media" if the mediums have a significant impact upon the work. Diluting acrylic paint with mediums does not make a mixed media painting. Using mediums to produce significant texture or other noticeable impact is considered mixed media. If in doubt, please contact OMMA exhibitions at nanrogp@rogers.com.
