This week's RU-vid video features a painting makeover! Watch me transform a watercolour painting into a beautifully layered collage, blending different papers, mark-making, and even stitching. I hope this video inspires you to revive your old, unfinished artwork. Share your thoughts in the comments and let me know if you'd like to see another piece undergo a transformation!

It's amazing what pops of colour can do. Glad you enjoyed the video!

@marjieiversen5175 8 месяцев назад

Thank you so much, Laura. I loved watching you make the changes to your painting. It was amazingly helpful to have you walk through the process of making over the old painting and seeing how much your changes improved the work. Loved it and yes, please show us more examples of making over old paintings that didn't quite work. 🙃😊🥰😘

Time to drag out my box of "failures" and see if they respond to a makeover. Loved where you went with this piece 🤩

@Manifesting_Secret_Sketchbook 7 месяцев назад

You only fail if you don't TRY. Box of failures just may turn into a box of masterpieces 😊

@LauraHornArt 3 месяца назад

Please do! I bet you'll find that many of those little "failures" are actually a box of magic waiting for you!

So much fun! Love to see transformations, because it shows ways to keep working on a piece to making it something new… and for a beginner like me, not liking the first draft happens a lot lol

@LauraHornArt 3 месяца назад

I love that! Thank you for such sweet feedback. I am always reworking things I do not like, or scrapping first drafts. I think that is all part of the creative process, so you are right where you need to be! 😊

Yes yes yes! More makeovers please - I have some paintings that I've shoved in a closet because I like some aspects of them, but dislike others. Now I see the way you transformed yours and would love to see more!

@LauraHornArt 8 месяцев назад

Yay, I am glad this idea is getting some traction as I am like you - plenty of paintings in the closet! I feel like RU-vid is a great place to share the transformations.

@tasticola 8 месяцев назад

Loved this. Yes please, I'd very much like to see more. I've not stitched in my art for a long time. So encouraging! Thanks Laura x Nell.

Where do you buy deli paper from in Australia?

@LauraHornArt 3 месяца назад

Greaseproof paper is called deli paper in the US. It's used primarily for wrapping sandwiches and isn't suitable for putting in the oven. Mine isn't as transparent as I like, so I might try another brand. The one I have at the moment is the Armarda brand from Woolworths. You can also get deli paper in some craft shops that is imported from the US. It's more expensive, though, and pretty similar to what is called "greaseproof paper" in Australia. I hope that helps!
