I love it very cool but why would you need to use watercolor paper at all if you're always going to be using gesso or Modge Podge or Elmer's Glue? I guess you don't need watercolor ground at all

No need to use WC paper, just a heavy surface :)

Thank you so much for showing how you swatch out. I have avoided doing this but your method has given me the inspiration to get to it and I’ve also been realising how important it is to know which colours are transparent or opaque - for layering or under painting. Oh and of course I love your process. Will this work on cheap watercolour paper? I guess the main thing is the gesso so you could also do it on a primed canvas?

Yes you can use cheap heavy paper or canvas 😀✅

Really beautiful. I have done this in my sketchbook few years ago... and i love the look of it.

Do you know about the impact of using tissue paper on the longevity of the painting?

@lindabrownartist 2 года назад

Best to purchase the tissue paper from your art supply store, if unsure ask the shop if it’s acid free. That way you can be reassured. Also use artists quality gesso. The gesso seals the tissue paper, like a sandwich so all will be well 😀

@marmalade2611 Год назад

Hello, Linda. I realize this video is a couple years old but I am wondering if the artist’s quality white gesso you use is a thick or thin consistency.

@lindabrownartist Год назад

Good question, it’s a medium consistency, if it was too thick it would be hard to brush on and possibly tare the tissue paper. However you do need it to coat well to give a good barrier surface between the WC and the tissue. The last tub I bought was really thick, like so thick it wouldn’t brush on easily, so I added some water to it, mixed it well to a good medium consistency.

@Searching_For_New_Adventures Год назад

What type of tissue paper is this, Is it something you buy in the art shop or any tissue paper would work?

@lindabrownartist Год назад

Any acid free tissue paper would work. I buy packs of white gift wrap.

@joannefk4758 Год назад

Beautiful technique Linda. Can u tell me please, how long do we leave the tissue paper on the gesso base ? Think I took mine off too early. SO looking forward to when we can have our classes again at Studio 15. Any ideas?

@lindabrownartist 4 года назад

Hi Glenda, you prepare your surface by taping down your heavy paper, apply a thickish coat of white gesso, crumple tissue paper then gently unfold it - pat it onto the wet gesso, then gently apply another coat of gesso over the top of the tissue paper. You do not remove the tissue paper. Classes can’t resume yet, we have to wait until it’s safe to start up. Once safe, I’m going to limit my students to 8 per class to allow plenty of social distancing between tables for a while.

Hi Kay, what brand of 300gsm paper are you using? You need to apply the gesso quite generously under the tissue and over the top also 😀

@robertbutler2339 3 года назад

Thank you Linda exactly what I looked for years. Fantastic!!!! when adding gesso to watercolour paper does it buckle??

@lindabrownartist 3 года назад

The best thing to prevent buckling is to tape the paper to a board :)

@viviandibrell849 3 года назад

I have done this and my 140# Watercolor paper buckled. I wonder if this would work just as well on a Masonite board. Because you really don’t need the watercolor paper when you’ve coated it with this much gesso and tissue paper. Or use 300# paper.

@lindabrownartist 3 года назад

I use 300gsm paper but there’s no need to use good WC paper, board would be fine

I feel I must ask what you consider a "copy" and hence not sellable? Isn't that almost impossible using this technique? I only ask because I also have a unique technique that I don't want people to copy and I don't know how to teach it and "claim" it at the same time. Help? :)

@lindabrownartist 3 года назад

It’s difficult teaching a style that’s unique, the students get locked in and can’t see the bigger picture. They tend to think that the technique is for that particular type type of painting and can’t see outside the square. This technique could be definitely used to paint many subjects, such as underwater scenes, flower arrangements, beaches, rivers... I teach technique for learning purposes only, you can copy my work to learn, you can hang it in your own home or gift it. You can’t copy my work and claim it as your own. Copyright, you can’t copyright technique, it’s the artwork that is copyrighted. In my opinion if a work is recognisable as someone else’s work it’s a copy.

@yopestevens1505 3 года назад

@@lindabrownartist Thank you so much for replying. I failed to mention how much I admire your work! So I think I understand... If for instance if I paint florals using my technique, and then I teach that to someone who paints a tree with it - they can sell their tree. But if they paint florals similar to mine, then they can't; or at least not without credit to me? My work, like yours, cannot be EXACTLY copied, but where do you (and I) draw the line? To date, I have not sold anything online simply to avoid too many "copycats" out there. Case in point might be all the paint-pourings going on :)

Really interesting technique. Love your work. Is it the tissue paper that keeps the watercolour on? The gesso I use is acrylic gesso and the watercolour would just bead off it. This is almost a year later, so I hope you still see the comment.

@lavonnecarrick2238 3 года назад

Have you tried the process? If you try the process you will understand the paint stays on the gessoed tissue paper. The paint will lift off very easily if you need it to. The paint doesn’t absorb into the paper like watercolor paper. Try it I think you’ll like it I did. You get a lot of Unusual textures.

@lindabrownartist 3 года назад

I use a high quality gesso, the watercolour does not bead. The cheap gessos have a very plastic feel to them and are not recommended for this technique. I have been using this technique for about 5 years now and my artworks are stable. Try a higher quality from a good art supply store 😊goof luck with it
