Cute smile.

Wow thank you so much, straight to the point, quick and easy course to follow...new sub here...needed to update what i knew and forgot...thank you. Cannot wait to watch all your videos.

Yummy colors

So generous as always with your methods and processes!

Loving your work. The gestural white marks are really nice. 😍

Really love your experimental processes Ruth!! TFS!!

Really lovely!

Beautiful!

Great news about Jamaica St. Studios 👍

How fab to have a creating space away from home, enjoy.

Congratulations on new studio!! 👏🏻👏🏻

Congrats on the new studio with a huge window. Nice. I'm in Vancouver, BC and it looks very similar to our artist spaces here. Have fun settling in.

Congratulations on getting your new studio space... I hope the long-term future is secured. Happy creating!

Magnifique ...

Loved the little yellow line. Super. Thanks.

Is this process archival?

gorgeous

Thankyou for sharing your process,I really enjoyed that.

It's gorgeous!!!

What printing ink do you use?

Really pretty, do you use these in art or is this the art and if so, how do you preserve and display it. Thanks

Great to see this process , what is the surface you are using please. Andy

Gorgeous big sky hanging over that landscape. It reminds me of places from my childhood. Thank you.

So enjoy watching you work!

Looking great Ruth - I'm enjoying this process after your landscape impressions course, Richard.

I’m SO delighted to hear that you were inspired by your trip to Skye!

Excellent video! What is the surface you work on?

wonderful. cant wait until the next video. looking forward!

Great video Ruth. Thank you. I find your process enchanting.

Very useful thank you.

I too am looking forward to the next video, Thanks for the extensive explanation.

Interested to know where you ordered your tissue paper. I love your prints.

Thanks for your generosity- looking forward to the next clip.

I'm looking forward to your next session on this print. Can you tell me what surface you're rolling the oil paint on to and how you clean it so well before rolling out a different colour ?

Thank you! I just started painting on paper and was clueless as how to present it well. This was such a helpful video 🙏 Thanks again!

😚 promo sm

these are absolutely lovely. thank you for sharing your technique and work.

Thank you for sharing this. So interesting. Very much appreciated!

To decrease wrinkles try sealing the work first, then stick down when it's dry.

What Japanese paper are you using?

Great video, I often wonder why more people don't present their works on paper this way. I really love your treatment of the surface, much more interesting than varnish. I've been experimenting with this excellent process now for a couple of years. I mount my acrylic on paper paintings onto 3mm ply with a backing frame, then mount them in a shadow mount frame - it's about 1/3 the cost of mounting behind glass. A few things you might want to consider (or not I don't mind). A very clean printing roller is a great way to smooth out the air bubbles if they are trapped. You can put another clean sheet of paper on top and then working from the middle to the edges, gradually move the bubbles towards the edge until they ease out. I put a layer of 'baking paper' what used to be called grease proof paper, between the artwork and the pressing board when I'm trying to press dry the work, that way any glue that might have made it's way onto the print surface won't get stuck to the board - then I put weights all over, to get an even press and leave it for 24 hours. By that time mose bubbles have 'shurnk' out. If not, you can very carefully cut a tiny small hole with a sharp kinve and ease the air out, then very carefully touch up the cut with some Matt Acrylic Medium. Also a super sharp cutting blade is a good way to trim the edges. Finally as to the glue you're using. In my experience gloss medium is a much much better binder than Matt, but obviously not for the top finish. However, my wife is a book binder and she recently introduced me to book binding glue, it's much stickier than traditional pva or medium, but once it's on, it's on - so you have to work fast and get it pretty much right first time. It's an acid free, ph neutral form of PVA. The big difference I've found is that it's stickier, and thicker and probably contains less water than Matt Medium, so it probably doesn't expand the paper as much either, so less wrinkles and bubbles to content with. If you know a book binder you might want to borrow some and do an experiement. As I said, great video, perhaps now more people will present their works on paper this way. Thanks again.

That print is gorgeous! Are your printing inks water-based? For some reason I thought they were oil-based and putting acrylic medium over the top might eventually be problematic.

Stunning print and thanks for the clear steps you took.

Do you prime your tissue and Japanese paper as you use oils?

Absolutely gorgeous print -- love that blue and all those delicate textures!!!

Gosh, your print is gorgeous! I adore your artwork. Thanks for sharing these mounting tips; I've been wondering how to do this and am a bit nervous but you give me confidence. I like the wax finish very much.

Fabulous print Ruth. A bit of a daunting process when you've spent so long printing. Hope you enjoyed your trip to Japan.

Really nice. Could you then put the work in a float frame?

Beautiful print!

Thanks for that Ruth and enjoy your trip to Japan…… not envious at all 😊
