I love collage papers! And when you layer them on a painting, things get really interesting. In this video, I make my own collage papers and also apply them to a painting in process so you get to see how I layer them. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes! I love to hear about other people's experiences.

Materials I use in this video: (some are **affiliate links)
•Tissue Paper 100 count amzn.to/44JG9uB
I will also use tracing paper, deli paper or craft paper. Each has a different texture and reacts differently, so it takes experimentation.
• The brushes I use are 2 flat brushes of different size and 1 rigger brush for ascemic writing
• acrylic paint and fluid acrylic paint mixed with water
• Golden Liquid Glazing Medium amzn.to/3pmcLdK
Ascemic writing is a kind of writing with little to no emphasis on semantics. It is something that looks like, or is, writing but mainly is meant for aesthetic purposes.

@janetmckenney8376 Год назад

I love watching you create using collage papers! I have one suggestion - the music playing while you're talking is very distracting and for those of us who have hearing problems, it make hearing what you're saying very difficult. I noticed that closed caption was not available. Lowering the volume or selecting a more soothing background music would help with this problem.

@marabethquinart Год назад

Hi Janet, thanks for watching 😊. A couple of my video would not allow me to turn on closed captioning, and I think this was one unfortunately. I’m sorry to hear you couldn’t hear and that closed captioning wasn’t available to help. Your suggestion is noted and thanks. 👍

@jennrowsell7868 Год назад

I am 73 & just about to start my Artist/creative years I have planned for myself! Prior too, my creative expression has been in designing and developing gardens and homes. I’m so excited!! I love your style. I am very drawn to encaustic and wonder if your craft is a good companion for encaustic 🤔 I will find out. ☺️

@MicheleEngel Год назад

Jenn, tissue paper is an outstanding companion for encaustic. I’ve used tissue paper in my artwork for about twenty years now-for mixed media paintings, art journals, and encaustic. The transparency of the unpainted portion of the tissue paper is 100% when used in encaustic; I love the way it disappears. It’s slightly visible on other surfaces (if you look closely). And another thing I’ve done with it is apply rubber stamp images to it with archival permanent ink pads (Ranger archival or Stazon brands). I have quite a collection of them, many with abstract patterns/designs that I love to use. Also alphabet stamps. I have a feeling you’re going to love this. I didn’t start pursuing my interest is making art until I was 50 (self-taught), and I’m 69 now and semi-retired. I finally have a decent amount of time to spend on it, and I just love it MORE every day. 😊

@marabethquinart Год назад

You’re my hero, Jenn-I LOVE that this new part of your creative journey is just getting going. How exciting! I’ve been drawn to encaustic as well but never took a class. I’m sure you could incorporate but I can’t speak from experience on that. Let me know how it goes!

@marabethquinart Год назад

I love this, Michele! So inspiring!

@robynlena8338 Год назад

I was gifted a pack of rice paper so I’m currently working with them using your method of creating collage papers then incorporating into my art… you are a true inspiration! Having a blast through the process, not rushing to get to the end result but actually feeling/seeing where the process takes me . Being in the PRESENT is something I am consciously working on. I am a self taught artist for about 20 years now and it’s interesting to look back on how I’ve evolved. I love love love this part of my life… Thanks for sharing your love of the process, Marabeth! 💖💫

@marabethquinart Год назад

I’m so excited to hear this, Robyn! I hope you check back and give me updates-it always helps me relax into the process when I can hear other artists talk about how it feels for them. We ALL experience this, but figuring out how to be present like you are is challenging and hard to make your way to, but I do think it’s the secret sauce!💗

@martiobrien4037 Год назад

Thank you, Marabeth! You've inspired me to collage on Canvas. I do junk journaling collage, but I needed a new slant. So keep collaging...I LOVE what you do !

@marabethquinart Год назад

Thanks so much, Marti! So glad you’re inspired!

@Austin_99162 Год назад

Thank you, this is wonderful! I appreciate you showing a product such as Golden because it helps to know what to use for us beginners. Your process is beautiful and intuitive and the connection with your uncle feels very spiritually present and in the moment as you speak of him. I have gotten so much from watching this and so look forward to starting a collage. Again, thank you🎉

@boyandbelugee Год назад

Lovely art and we love the process of making art too, it’s like bringing order out of chaos. Mixed media is just like life, putting the individual pieces of our lives together to make a beautiful, meaningful image.

@marabethquinart Год назад

Exactly what I love about it too-order out of chaos, and even finding order within the chaos. Endlessly interesting!

@christieclark8238 Год назад

Love your process . I love collage and after being a canvas mostly oils artist for many years I decided to incorporate my love of collage to create a combined canvas art. Thank you for the inspiration your work is so lovely.

@marabethquinart Год назад

I’m so happy about that-I pretty much had that same path (except with acrylics) and I went from just a little collage here and there to now covering the canvas. There’s so much to experiment with. Enjoy! And thanks for watching, Christie!

@gigicooper1759 Год назад

Thank you for sharing your secrets :D I love how intuative your art is and I love collage...paper is magic and apparently so is tissue paper, headed out the door for TP today!

@marabethquinart Год назад

Can’t wait for you to try it! Tell me what you think afterwards-I’d love to hear about it. And I agree, who knew little scraps of paper can have such a lovely effect! And just a little p.s.-it has taken me years to let my art be intuitive! I’ve been known to hold really tightly to ‘should’, if you know what I mean. 😉

Wonderful art, TFS. I made in school a nice art piece with tissue paper bottles in blue, green, and purple layering them a little bit over each other like standing on a table and it did look like the sun would shine behind them. It was a really nice effect.

Hi Marabeth, I've only just found your channel and I'm hooked!!! I find your work very informative and freeing the way you work. I haven't yet found my own way in the art world as yet, I started With fluid paint pouring and have been enjoying it but lately I find That their are so many artists doing the same thing and that's fine But I would like to try some art with your methods (my own take on it) If you know what I meen. Where should I begin I enjoyed your video on Painting on an exercise pad into squares but yet to try it. Would this be a good starting point? Sorry for the big ramble!! 👏💙🌈

@marabethquinart Год назад

Hi Janet! I’m so happy you find the channel helpful-that’s just what I was hoping for! Firstly, it’s very normal to start with one type of art and then keep morphing into something new; that’s actually the lifeblood of a dynamic art career, so you’re right on track! 😉 And there is nothing wrong at all with trying to do what another artist does when you’re learning and experimenting. For eons, art students (and we’re all students to some degree) have learned by trying to duplicate what other artists did, and then as they progress, they find their own voice, so again, you’re right on track. I would suggest starting with the exercise you mentioned and really try to just enjoy the process and experimenting with brush strokes and materials without much concern to how it looks. As you get more comfortable and enjoy yourself, you will begin to find that you like your work more. It’s never supposed to look great at first! (That’s the part no one tells you). Good luck and remember to have fun-that’s where we learn the best. Let me know how it goes! I’d love to hear.

@mariannesmith5562 Год назад

This was helpful. Maybe I can make progress following you at this time. Tho I always feel frustrated when I really like something and then artist says oh it’s just a study or it’s not finished. Your work is beautiful but i like rough interesting work 😉.

@marabethquinart Год назад

I actually know what you’re saying-a painting being ‘done’ is really a subjective idea, isn’t it? I want to get better at leaving my work in the rough stages and allowing my definition of ‘done’ to include that raw, almost unfinished look. It’s hard to do! But always worth striving for

Hi Marabeth, my medium I seriously love is watercolor and have loved it for many years. So….. many paintings later, now over 30 years, I have run up against a wall of boredom and seem to not be feeling exhilarated over my work these days. Yes, I sell my art, my clients are thrilled with them BUT I’m not! I remembered many moons ago loving the collage process, the feeling of the paper on piece, the endless hours that somehow, did not seem long. You have inspired me to begin again with that and see how it blooms. What would you suggest as to the process of doing this successfully on strictly watercolor surface without acrylics?

@marabethquinart Год назад

I love watercolor too! I’d love to see your work. And I think boredom setting in is so common when our creative nature is ready for some new iteration of what we’ve been doing, so I think you’re right on track! And just adding collage to your watercolors using the golden glazing medium will work just fine with it. Let me know how it goes, Denise! I’d love to hear.

AI always, I love your art and videos. Where did you get that bird stencil? Playing with colors is so much fun. I find myself being drawn more and more to burnt oranges, reds and turquoise blues. At least this past week, changes with the wind. That is the joy of freedom in creating art, to be totally lost in the moment!

@marabethquinart Год назад

Thanks Jill! And I know, I love it when a certain color grouping captivates me for awhile-it’s so invigorating. And are you talking about the bird stencil from my new video yesterday? If so, I bought that from the stencil assortment at my local art store.

@jillpontiere1814 Год назад

@@marabethquinart yes, it was so pretty…..that must be an amazing art store. And I read Amy’s book, Dirty Sally! And promptly got another, The Thirteenth Chance. Great writer! Have a lovely weekend. Can’t wait to see your next video…..you keep my creative curiosity and juices flowing. 😊

You inspired me to try layering transparent papers and now I can't stop playing with them. I've experimented with watercolour on wet strength tissue to make my papers, after deciding that I wasn't happy using plastic acrylics. Plus I want the transparency but I see that the really watered down acrylics you've used were actually quite transparent. I do love watercolours though more than acrylics. I'd be interested to know why you choose to use glazing medium rather than matt or gloss medium. But another thing I've learnt from someone's video is that if I stick the papers down with wallpaper paste I can use watercolours over it very easily once the papers have dried. As you might be able to tell, I'm absolutely fascinated by this process and materials. Thank you.

@marabethquinart 21 день назад

It is a fun process, indeed! So happy you’re enjoying working with transparent papers-I love it too. I use the glazing medium for several reasons: it doesn’t get gummy on my hands like matte medium does, and I also like to use it to make glazes with my paints and I use those sometimes over the paper, so it’s just handy to have the same product do both. And I have also found that I can put watercolors over the papers I have adhered with Golden Glazing Medium after it’s dried. They work just fine and then I spray varnish it to lock it in place before I brush varnish it.

I’ve used wet strength tissue w my collage and they hold up much better than plain tissue.

@jeanettetobey3433 Год назад

I enjoy watching you create and then showing us how you use the tissue in collages! Besides the process, what is the difference with using a gelli plate or painting directly on tissue like this? TFS:)

@marabethquinart Год назад

I haven’t tried using tissue on a gelli plate yet-I’m planning to soon though. I’m curious how well it will hold up during the process. It’s fragile and may fall apart but I’ll try to let you know what I find out. Thanks for watching, Jeanette!

@brigitteshantieaglemeare4350 Год назад

I find tissue works very well on the gelli plate when you work quickly, pulling the paper before it starts to dry on the plate

Why do you glue with glazing medium vs matt medium or gel medium or gloss medium? Love your work and your videos! Thanks for sharing!!

@marabethquinart Год назад

I chose glazing medium because I was already using it to thin out my paint and make it transparent, so it’s just what I always have on hand. But any of those others would work too, I assume. Thanks for watching ☺️

@transferessence Год назад

That was a question I had, too! Thanks, Susan, for asking and thanks, Marabeth, for the reply!

@barbaratibbets8643 Год назад

Have delved into collage many times from the usual watercolor, how do you clean the glue medium off your hands? TIA

@marabethquinart Год назад

I use Golden’s Glazing Medium to adhere the collage to the surface and it is super easy to wash off my hands when I’m done. While I’m working with it, I can wipe my fingers on a towel and they never get too sticky like they do with glue. I highly recommend trying it.

@Snowy.Evening 4 месяца назад

@Marabethquinnart I looked up the tissue paper you like & have a question. Do you use just one layer? Formerly when I've used tissue paper, it won't hold wet media. Before I purchase some, I thought I'd ask. Thanks! I really enjoyed this clip & am now following you on IG 🥰

@marabethquinart 4 месяца назад

I usually add multiple layers of tissue to a painting-it adds depth, the different colors interact and it lends that dreamy feel to the overall aesthetic. I also use different brands of tissue because they have different qualities, as well as rice paper, teabag paper and mulberry paper. All are semi-transparent and lend specific qualities to the painting. If you’re having trouble with your tissue paper holding together, sometimes brushing it less when tinting it will help.

@ilenearena9166 11 дней назад

Do you paint the canvas underneath before glueing the papers & do you paint over them or do mark making lines , etc over them ?? I never know what to do so as not to ruin them . Thanks . Love your work !

@marabethquinart 10 дней назад

I do both-sometimes I will lay down an acrylic base and then paper over, doing mark making on all layers-the base, mid-way, and then on top of everything. But other times, I paint my botanicals on the papers and don’t put paint down first-in my latest class, The Layered Botanical, I exclusively work with this process. It’s fun! And sometimes I will put paint glazes over parts of the paintings just to harmonize it or tone things down.

I just found you. Loving your process. Quick question do you ever use oils instead of acrylic?

@marabethquinart Год назад

I used to use them a lot-I seem to do either/or, and just haven’t been set up for them in the last 5 years or so. Acrylics are just so easy and dry so fast, and that makes them really convenient. Thanks for watching 😊

@intuitiveinspiredart4366 Год назад

Would that tissue paper work for gell plate printing?

@marabethquinart Год назад

It does work, although the tissue doesn’t have the same transparency as the ones I paint with diluted acrylic. Experiment and see how they both work-I have found uses for both.

@feri-nh1rc 8 месяцев назад

Do you use glue to stick tissue papers? Thanks for sharing. Looks beautiful

@marabethquinart 8 месяцев назад

I use Golden Liquid Glazing Medium, but there are other mediums you can use as well. I use this one because it will also thin out my paint and it adheres the paper really well without becoming really sticky.
