Shamrock Coloring Pages with Mixed Media

Op Art Shamrock Coloring Pages Art Techniques

Shamrock coloring pages are perfect for media experiments, teaching color mixing, and learning new art techniques. See the media and techniques I used to create these Op Art Shamrocks. See how fun it is to find new ways to make green using different mixed media and technique combinations. I hope you’ll enjoy trying out some ways to make green yourself!

Media Experiment Tips for Shamrock Coloring Pages

Please don’t feel like you have to make any of the media experiments exactly like my examples. Instead, I hope my examples will inspire you to try some new mixed-media combinations and work with your available media. In addition, I’ve provided a few affiliate links in this post just in case you’re looking for some new media to purchase.

You can get the Op Art Shamrock Coloring Pages in my store.
