Preparing a old book page for watercolour painting
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 09. 2021
- In this short video I share a few examples from my sketchbooks in which I've used old book pages along with my watercolours. I then show how I prepare a page from an old dictionary using a watercolour ground to make an interesting base for watercolour sketches and paintings.
You can find me on social media if you’d like to see more about my daily art practice.

That painting spread of the berries is to die for!! SO BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you ! That's so nice of you 😊
This is exactly what I was looking for - not necessarily for watercolor painting, but to use an old book as a journal. (It kind of negates the point of it for me to attach paper to write on to every page, though I do like doing the layering in some places!) I'd never heard of watercolor ground; I think it'll be perfect for my project. Thank you - and I'm so glad I found your channel. I love your work!
That sounds such an interesting idea! I'd love to hear if the watercolour ground works for your journal. (It does create a slight textured surface but if carefully applied it can be smoother. Some apply it with a roller but I've always used a brush because I like a bit of texture for my painting)
Glad you've found it interesting and thanks for your kind comment 😊
Brilliant! I'm so glad CZcams showed your channel, for I simply love your art style. CZcams needs more artists and far less swatching.
Thank you
I also had no clue about watercolor ground. Thank you for being thorough.
Also love hour work.
Thank you so much!
This is such a cool idea! I’m going to have to give it a try with one of my old textbooks or something. Thanks for the video!
Brilliant have fun experimenting, I'm so pleased you're inspired to try it 🖌😊
So original! Love it!
Thank you so much
Love your work!
Thank you! 🎨😊
LOVE your enthusiasm page!!
Thank you! I'm hoping to use this as the reference for a painting, I'm so pleased you like it 🎨
Absolutely beautiful!!
Thank you! 🎨😊
Love this technique! ❤
I do too, it's very effective 😊
You are a fantastic artist!!
That's so kind of you thank you! 🙏 Always more to learn, experiment and have fun 🖌
This is a fantastic tutorial, super helpful!
Thanks I'm so pleased you've enjoyed it and found it interesting. I hope you have fun trying the technique, let me know how you get on!
Makes me think about taking a large piece of canson xl and adding several different pages to it, treating it with the watercolor ground (a pot came with my DS split primary set and I’ve never used it) and cutting the page down after I’ve done the whole thing.
That sounds like a great idea, have fun!
Your art is stunning. 😍
Thank you! That's so kind of you 🙏
Great demo!
Thank you 😊
Thank you for this fantastic tutorial. Congratulations you paint with grace❤
Thank you! I'm so pleased you enjoyed it 🎨😊
Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome I'm pleased you enjoyed it
I missed the info on the glue/binder you used to put the paper down. Love the idea!
I think any good paper glue or acrylic binder would work. The one I use is the acrylic binder Bindex from Pebeo.
Hope this helps, have fun!
Thank you for the helpful video!
I'm pleased you've enjoyed it 🖌
Thank you, that’s helpful
Great, I'm pleased you found it interesting
Ohhhh, me love!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Really interesting thank you.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. Its great fun!
The berries are gorgeous
Thank you! 😊
Thankyou Ingrid - really interesting idea🙂 - would love to see you paint on it now to see how the ground works with the watercolour paint - do usual techniques such as wet in wet work?
Thanks Tricia I'm so pleased you found it interesting. I'll have to film myself painting on these surfaces at some point! I find painting on the ground does feel a little different to on watercolour paper but wet into wet seems to work fine.
@@IngridHillArt Thankyou Ingrid - I’ll have to give it a go 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing this idea. Could you explain the difference between using the watercolour ground and a clear gesso? Would clear gesso work the same way?
Hi, Although Gesso does work, I tend to prefer using the watercolour ground for this sort of painting. The ground has a slightly rough surface, which I find helps washes key to. Whereas I find Gesso smoother, so the paint slips more on the surface.
I use Gesso or watercolour moulding paste with a palette knife when I want to create a textured surface.🎨
@@IngridHillArt Thank you so much for explaining. I really appreciate it.
Would gesso work. I think it's the same thing. Your work is beautiful.

Very interesting, impressive. May I ask why you needed to do the translucent layer before the white covering layer. Could you not have started with the white. Thanks very much
Thanks Chris, yes the white could have been done first. I often like to use a transparent layer first to make sure everything has had a thin layer but without hiding the book page. I then can add as much or little of the white to cover areas as I'd like to, without leaving any sections unprepared. 🎨😊
@@IngridHillArt thanks very much, and for such a speedy response. I am definitely going to experiment.
@chrishayes8287 you're welcome, hope you have fun! 🎨
Can I stamp over that?
Is the acrylic binder the same as glue?
Yes, I think any waterproof paper glue would probably work. 🎨
@@IngridHillArt Thanks.

Is the ground glue?
Hi Marilyn it's not really a glue but a special medium to allow watercolour to be used on a variety of surfaces.
Was wondering why you used acrylic paint under the watercolor ground?
Hi I used an acrylic binder to stick the book page down any paper glue would work as long as it becomes permanent when dry.
@@IngridHillArt Thank you!
@@IngridHillArt Do you have a CZcams video of how you painted those berries? I simply cannot get them out of my head! So beautiful!
@sherryroberts7716 hi Sherry, thank you! I'm so pleased you like it so much! I'm sorry, I didn't video painting the berries, I may do a similar one and film when I get a chance 🎨
@@IngridHillArt WAITING WITH BAITED BREATH!! Soon, I hope!!!
