Starting a Mixed Media Abstract Painting: Using Collage Scraps & Mixed Media Layers on 2 paintings! 

On the napkins . . . Lay down the colored layeron a plastic piece such as a report cover or something. Then cover it with gel medium and let it dry. Then you can work with it more easily and it won't tear or wrinkle! Love your work!

Loved this video and the end result. Especially the black shaping towards the end.

I enjoy collage with scraps but I make small projects.

Love this way of using scraps🥰

Thank you, Michele. This was a great video, and really don't worry about the voice over. In fact, I think it works better for the viewer because we see the evolution of the painting while you remain focused on your own directions. So win-win for all. Thank you for all the tips and techniques. ❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹

Beautiful!!!

Loved this Michele, and l look forward to the next layer ❤

I love this project Michele. I can’t wait to see what comes next! I hope you do more like this. I enjoyed the voiceover too.

Very inspiring! I find 90% alcohol online (Amazon) or sometimes in a pharmacy. I started out in paper crafting and have quite a bit of commercial paper that I'd love to be able to use. As I've grown in my skill set making my own papers I'm acquiring more to use in my art. Thank you for your continued sharing and I can't wait to watch the next session!

New subscriber and really enjoyed it. Love the voice over with the art work being done separately.

Beautiful! I love watching you paint and seeing what you end up with! This looks like so much fun, thanks for sharing ❤️

Lovely Art! Excited to find your channel! To raise your table… get BED FRAME RISERS… I see them at goodwill all the time, but they can be found on Amazon as well!

I’m traveling and have a mini journal lots of collage fodder. I’m going to try this today!! I just love everything about it! Thanks for sharing. ❤❤😊

Thank you Michele. This looks like so much fun and can't wait to try this.

I used concrete blocks to elevate my art table to save my back. Use the space underneath for storage.

Use bed risers for the table legs.

to raise your table, you can buy pvc pipe & cut 12" pieces that fit over the feet of your table. it might be more stable than wood pieces. & it's inexpensive.
