Mixed media means just that: a piece of work, not made of just paint, or just pencil or just metal, but a combination of several materials. These may be any materials that the artist has chosen to use just then.

A mixed media portrait is a portrait (often of a person or animal) of which multiple mediums were used to produce it. 'Medium' ('media' being the plural) in art often refers to the tools used, such as a pencil, paint, graffiti, clay, etc. to make the actual image. The 'Material' is what is used to be drawn/painted on (such as paper, brick wall, canvas, etc.). So in short, a mixed media portrait is a portrait that is made using mixed mediums (eg: a graphite drawing with paint used for highlights).

Mixed media art is just using several different forms of visual mediums in a combined work. It involves a layering process. The best technique is ones own imagination. Decoupage and collage art are the most popular.
