This video shows you how to reuse a painted canvas.
I decided to repurpose two painted canvases, and turn them into new paintings, first sanding them down, then painting and adding gelli plate collage papers.

keep painting in layers until inspiration hits something beautiful. It’s a inspiration 🙌🙌🙌

@VikkiReed Год назад

Heloneida, yes! That's the technique, thank you!

@ingridcoke1360 Год назад

What a transformation. I absolutely love the outcome. The building of layers of colour and texture to create the beautifully collaged birds was quite intriguing to watch them emerge. Please do more videos of giving old work a new life. Thank you for generously sharing.❤❤❤

Ingrid, thank you, I have one in the works...called "Plot Twist", stay tuned!

I’m really impressed with the results here and I admit to being skeptical a few times! Would love to see a video, no matter how boring, on your tearing collage paper for shaping pieces.

@VikkiReed 3 года назад

lol, thank you! I will put that on the request list for videos! I think it's sort of an "in the zone" thing where you somehow can reach into a mountain of collage paper and find and then tear or "sculpt" the tiny fragment that fits just perfectly into the piece. Maybe I can time-lapse it. Thanks for watching!

@ginaburgess9759 3 года назад

Me too..love this technique and I have more than a few canvases to cover!

@karenharnish8090 Год назад

I wasn’t seeing where this was going, but what a great end result. I love the birds. You’ve inspired me❤️✨

Karen, thank you! I am delighted you are feeling inspired, and you can use this technique for birds, or truly...anything!

This was lovely and inspirational to watch. Because I've done more collage in recent months, I came across the same problem of trying to recall how I wanted to arrange the torn or cut pieces after having found their proper placement. I had a 'duh' moment when it hit me that I could just take a photo and refer to it! Also: I, too, use denim shirts (I pick them up at Goodwill) as my painting smocks 🙂 I love your videos--the palette and depth of your gel prints is just gorgeous!

@ssm5774 2 года назад

I really like the look of them after sanding and the transformative story it tells. I think I’ll try that, paint several paintings over time onto the same canvas and then sand them down after 10 or 20 years-sort of a broken glimpse into where I was at the time. Thank you!

@VikkiReed 2 года назад

Seth, yes, thank you! I love the versatility of that. When I realize I've had a piece for quite awhile, and I don't love it anymore, it's so great to sand it down, gesso over it and see what wants to be expressed now! Thanks for watching and commenting

I just came across your channel and loved the collage bird paintings. I’m so interested in birds but am not familiar with exactly how to do collage. I do absolutely love your collage papers and I agree you should sell them. Was your canvas for the birds a cloth canvas or a wooden cradle? I’ll come back to your channel and thank you for sharing.

@VikkiReed 2 года назад

Astrid, thank you for your comments and questions! The pieces in this video were canvas, although I often work on panel as well, it tolerates the sanding better! I do have two selections of papers available in digital download (meaning you have to print them off) and the link is here, vikkireed.com/buy-acrylic-paintings/ols/products/printable-collage-papers-set-one and then there is a video on creating a collage base for projects, that link is here, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bkJv-4zrexM.html

@robynnbryar1977 11 месяцев назад

Will dried heavy body acrylic paint him up sandpaper? Ir what if you put several layers of Gesso over Fluid Acrylic paint' I thought it would level out but it did not. Is it too late to sand it smooth?

@VikkiReed 11 месяцев назад

Hi Robin, thank you for your questions! I don't understand the first question...and no, it is not too late to sand it smooth, although smooth is never my goal, I like things roughed up and scarred...just like life brings us and then we can make beauty from that! If you want it smooth, you will need a smoother grit sandpaper. I hope that helps!

@robynnbryar1977 11 месяцев назад

@@VikkiReed sorry about the crazy spelling in my original question. I wanted to know will sandpaper get gummed up sanding off original layers of heavy body acrylic paints? Do you have to use several pieces of sand paper? What grits of paper do you start with? And end with?

@VikkiReed 11 месяцев назад

@@robynnbryar1977 Thank you for clarifying! You shouldn't have any issue if your paints have dried. I use a circular sander with 60 grit which is very rough, and it just destroys the top layers...in fact, care must be taken not to sand through the canvas, if that is what you are using! I like birch wood panels if I'm going to be doing a lot of sanding because they are sturdier...You may want to go mid range then with, say, a medium to fine (180-240) and finish with an extra fine (400)...here's a link to Extra Fine Sanding Blocks on Amazon, this is what you can use to finish sanding amzn.to/3tHDm78

Do you ever need to clean the stencils and if so what do you clean them with

@VikkiReed 3 года назад

Christy, great question, YES! The stencils get gummed up with acrylic paint unless you clean them regularly (which I don't). So occasionally, I need to soak them in a shallow pan of70% alcohol (which dissolves acrylic paint) and then scrub them and the paint moves right off.
