- In this art demo, inspired by a technique I learned from @carolnelsonfineart, I use aluminum foil and acrylic paint to create the most stunning and unusual collage papers. These are SO MUCH FUN to make!
Supplies for this paper:
Aluminum foil - heavy duty
Household items that have texture
Acrylic paint in your palette - full strength
Embossing folders amzn.to/4cnwPAg
Princeton mop brush - helps prevent brush strokes, totally optional www.dickblick.com/items/princ...
Brayer
Stencils, your favorites
Ink pads - black, brown, or other colors that match your palette
Stazon, Ranger

Carol Nelson is a nickel azo gold addict and after I took her class on Craftsy a couple years back, now I am too. The color just makes everything look so good. True story... 😅
I too love Carol's use of foil in her work. Very inspiring!
I would love to see you using it in a collage…..😊
And I'll be showing this in about 3 weeks, once I've demoed a few more papers! If you are on my newsletter list, you will know when.
Love your work, I am 💯💯💯💯 inspired and motivated to go Ness 🤣🤣💐💐💐💐💐💐
Go for it! Cannot wait to hear how your mess turns into a masterpiece!
I love your content, Catherine! Your art is inspirational. I wished you put these in landscape view so it filled the CZcams screen. The vertical is just so hard to see the detail. Thanks for posting.
So glad that you love the content. I totally agree with the vertical not being the way to go. Any of my vertical videos were reposted from the art demos I did on Instagram last year. Now I wish I had waited to refilm them all, but some got reposted before I thought about doing this. Still might do it, we'll see. So many new papers to film that I hate going backwards!
I want to take a class! Thank you for all these great tutorials
I'd love to have you in one of my upcoming workshops. There is a link under Show More in the description with a link to my website for more info on online classes.
On the sticky acrylic paint, try appluing cold wax or baby powder for storing 😊
GREAT idea! Thanks so much for sharing.
Have a tried this using the metal tape from the DIY hardware store? If you stick that to paper or cardstock and use the embossing folders it works well too. Thank you!
Hmmm, I need to try that! I truly appreciate the suggestion.
I can't wait to try it! Thank you.
Have fun!
Amazing effects I want to try this out now for sure! Love the transluscence and the texture with the stencils
I agree that this creates amazing affects. Hope you enjoy creating these!
These are fabulous🤗🌟 So happy to find your channel 💙
Thanks so much 😊 and welcome!
Thankyou very inspiring idea's
Wow! Just found you. I love doing mixed media, and you've just opened a world of inspiration. This is going to up my game. Thanks for sharing.
Blessings go with you to the Mayo.
I'm so glad that you found this demo useful. Would love to see what you create with it!
I have a lung problem also . I only smoked 2 months when I was a teenager but decided I was spending money for something I didn't like . But I understand how careful we have to be . Good luck .
That's so nice❤
Thanks so much!
Beautiful technique!
Glad you like it!
Can you please post what the embossing packets are sold as. You are truly inspirational!
Just added the link to the embossing folders to this video! Thanks for asking.
looks fun. Thanks for being an inspiration.
It is fun! Hope you will try it!
Thanks Catherine for the lovely video. All the best for your visit to the Mayo clinic
Missed this on ethe first time around.. Soooo many options now...
I love that you are watching all my videos! Thank you Emily.
@@catrains.artist I learn a lot and I appreciate your teaching style.. you are very generous
@@EmilyBlitzer Thank you dear Emily.
So fun… and we all have Foil at home so let's get to create !!! Thanks for sharing 🙏💖
Yes! Go have fun and start creating! 🥰
I put aluminum foil in my inbox and it is a cuttle bug Handheld and it works just fine so I think that I never thought of painting it so I’ll have to try them❤
Wow, sounds fascinating. Would love to see what you are creating!
I would like a wider view.
Good to know for future videos. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do to change this one. Can you zoom in?
Thank you!😊
You're welcome 😊
You can also paint the folder inside and then put the foil in. As long as you rinse right away the paint should come out. Maybe easier?
Ohhhh I love that idea! Thanks for sharing. Never thought of that.
Sorry, ur 2 is eastern? So west coast i'm 3 hrs earlier = 11a? glad to find u recently! 🙋😊💐
Yes that is correct. Glad we found each other. See you next Tuesday!
How are you using these in collage? (Are you just gluing it onto paper with a medium or PVA glue?
Yes gluing them with matte medium.
This was awesome. I will have my students make their own foil paper to create turtles using that turtle shell embossing folder. So cool!
That's a great idea! Love it
I really enjoyed watching this! I have just shown a video where I have used various painted collage papers but I haven't tried foil! I must have a go with the foil! 😊
Have fun! It's a lot of fun, thank you for watching
Possibly fold the light weight foil to make a stronger sheet?
You could, but then you are using twice to amount of aluminum foil. Might as well use heavy duty aluminum foil instead!
I just found you and love how you share! ❤
Sending hugs (no kisses) to you for your trip! 😊
Thank you so much!
First time watching your video. Love it. Can you use acrylic paint?? Thanks
That's what I'm using!
I had so much fun making this paper. May I ask what you used to seal them when they are done? I did not see it in the supplies list.
So glad that you enjoyed making this paper! Me too. I sealed them with matte medium.
Do you have examples showing them used in collage ?
I posted a reel to Instagram several days ago that has this type of paper in it. Go to my account @catrains.artist and look for the reel before the last one. The redish piece of collage paper is foil.
@@catrains.artist let me know if you decide to create a short here on CZcams showing the foil in collage. I'm not on IG. Thanks for your reply.
@@ultraviolet734 Will do. Sorry that I don't have an easy way to show you other than IG.
My Mind is blown! Lol!
Love that I blew your mind. Hope you enjoy creating these!
can you also use tissue paper to make an imprint
Yes!
New subscriber here 😊 if I want to add this to my art journal how would I glue this on ?
Thanks so very much for joining me!!! This glues to a journal with medium or gel medium.
Brilliant thankyou. Is that tissue paper that you blotted the blue paint over the foil - normal tissue? How did it not tear?
Yes it's "normal" tissue, as in gift grade. What you wrap gifts with. I'm just very careful as I lift it and lay it out to dry.
@@catrains.artist gosh that’s amazing- it can be done then. I just need to be more careful!
I don-t have embossing folders, but i'll try foil on a rubber stamp. Perhaps pounce foil with a stiff brush.
Let me know how it turns out! Would love to see it
Have you tried a mister bottle that doesn't blop out the water??
Yes, I have a mister, but I didn't own one when I made this video! I do like a mister better as well.
What do you use to take the shine away and to create the matte finish? Is it matte gel medium?
I usually use a matte medium, and a gel matte is fine too. If you use the dull side of the foil, it also gets less shine.
This is a great technique ... thank you. Would it be possible to use alcohol inks instead of paint? And sending healthy energy for positive medical results.
Thanks for the loving words. Don't know if alcohol would work or not, but worth a try. Hope you will experiment with this and let us all know!
Using a wider brush to dry brush would help.
Great idea!
Did you say what type of paint?Thank you!
I'm using acrylic paint. My fave is from Nova.
What's best way to apply the foil pieces to your collage to make it adhere well?
P.S. LOVE the looks of all these, very excited to try them... Thx so much for your great teaching!!
I apply mine with gel or matte medium. I'm thrilled that you are giving these a try!
I suppose I'm going to have to eat my previous comments after seeing 3 videos...this is the 4th....it is WILDLY amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! I may have to give up my day job just to experiment with this technique after I score some embossing folders!!! 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯❣❣❣❣
You are too kind, and hilarious! Here's to quitting your job to watch CZcams videos and experiment all day long😉!
Guten Morgen, ich bin begeistert. Ich suche das Video wo du das in Collage benutzt - ich finde es leider nicht. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland.
I didn't actually use this paper in a collage. All the videos dated May 5, 2023 and after, however, are in 3 videos showing how to make collages with 5 types of paper each.
Can I use acrylic paint on the tinfoil?
Yes! Its what I used.
I looked up Carol Nelson, but did not see any aluminum foil in collage. Also, did she pass away ?
She is still alive, and sometimes includes this paper in her work.
Link for lamp won’t work 😢
It should work now, I JUST tested it. Not sure what the issue was, but it should be easy now.
if you use alcohol ink, you wont need to seal... and those inks are extremely fun and addictive!
Great tip! Thank you so much!
I❤You😊😊😊😊😊
You are so kind, thank you so much!! 💕😊
MESS🙄🙄🙄🙄
😊💖
Hope you're able to solve your health issues. Good luck.
This was a video from last year, it has been a journey but doing better thank you!
Looks a mess to be honest
I appreciate your honesty. Much of collage paper making is about making a big mess, until you discover something spectral at the end. I use many of these papers in my collage work.
A beautiful “mess” that I can’t wait to try❣️
@@KMcAllaster Hope you have fun creating these!
