Mixed media collage papers are a great way to get started as a newbie!    Everyone started their creative journey somewhere! Be kind to yourself and practice.  Remember mistakes are good, it means you're growing.  Have compassion and trust yourself.  The key is in the process not the end result (albeit inspiring if we like the final piece).  Relish in the journey!

Some of the visual elements featured in the designs may include artwork partially generated using artificial intelligence tools.  These elements are used as creative components and are combined with hand-drawings, paintings, gelli plates, photographs (unsplash) and digital work in Procreate.  All final compositions are original and curated by cosmicmoon.co as the artist.  The use of artificial intelligent-generated assets is disclosed in the interest of transparency and creative integrity.

I encourage you to work with the supplies you have and be flexible to adapt to your own needs.  There is nothing better than experimenting with different materials!  Some of the basics are: good quality paper, mod podge or gel medium, and either watercolor or acrylic paint, Caran D'ache watercolor wax pastels, and a mix-sized bunch of brushes.
