Thank you 😀
I can't wait to try this! Thank You so much !
Great!
great ! Now I am going to recycle all of my messed up expensive papers :)
I just tried This technique and it is very nice . Thanks
Excellent!
Interesting 🤔
I’m gonna give this a try today. Looks like fun!
Yes do it! 😀
I just love this
Thank you
Very beautiful art form! Such a wonderful idea! New subscriber from the USA 🇺🇸!!!!👍👍👍
Hi Marvin!
wow!!!! great, thanks a lot for inspiration:)))
Thank you for watching 😀
So glad to find your channel. I've been using the crumpled tissue base for watercolor for several years in a very similar manner to yours. I've used spray glue, pva, watercolor ground, and gesso to adhere the tissue usually to canvas panel, but without any coating on top. When the work is finished I use spray varnish to protect. I'm looking forward to trying this on watercolor paper and adding the gesso on top as well. It is such a fun technique that yields so many surprises.
I'm also a great fan of Daniel Smith watercolors. Have you tried Quinacradone Burnt Scarlet? One of my favorite reds and I love using it with Quinacradone Gold. Looks like it would fit well in your palette. Thanks for sharing your work and technique.
Hi John, you will find the gesso on top is wonderful for strengthening the surface, watercolour loves it, but make sure the gesso is artists quality. Cheaper gesso is quite ‘plasticky’ and resists too much.
Daniel Smith is my favourite watercolour paint, I’ll definitely look at the Quin burnt scarlet, thanks for the tip😊🙏
Vert interesting ! Jacqueline de pont l'abbé Bretagne. I'll try it... . Thanks.

Welcome!
Looking forward to trying this So glad i found your page
Thank you 😀
Wanted to try experimenting using your techniques but I think my first attempt was a little heavy handed, need to have a little more patience, Thankyou for your tuition.
Keep your watercolours transparent, layering is the key 😊
YOur Trees and Raven image with water flows is absolutley fantastic. I would like to know what you do when finished to put it on display. What do you do to the surface of the finished art work?
I frame them using a frame with a matt board and and glass 🙂
Hi thanks so much for this - intriguing! As you are effectively painting on the gesso surface can you use cheaper watercolour paper as long as it's thick enough/300? No need to use 100% cotton?
Absolutely use cheaper heavy paper, canvas or canvas board, any strong surface will work :)
Linda would this work on canvas too? It seems the watercolor paper is covered by the tissue and gesso anyway,, so I wonder if the same process would work on another substrate. It is a beautiful process and I will definitely try it. Thank you for sharing the process.
Yes it will, definitely:)
Do you seal these masterpieces? It's so beautiful
I just frame behind glass with a Matt board :)
so fun! thanks for sharing😊
Thank you 😀
Never mind! I found it😄
Hi Linda,
Just watched your video about creating the tissue surface with the gesso. I’ve recently discovered watercolour grounds, could this be used as an alternative final painting surface . Many thanks for advice and help. Regards Marion
Hi Marion,
Tissue paper easily disintegrates when water is applied, so I use gesso is that it’s thick and has body, it strengthens the tissue paper.
I haven’t used the watercolour ground myself, why don’t you try it on a small work? Experiment and discover 😃
I would love to hear your outcome.
I would like to invite you to join my art group on Facebook where we share and discuss Art with Linda Brown
If you’re not into FB that’s fine :)
@@lindabrownartist hi Linda, I am trying this with watercolor ground and will let you know the results 🤓
@@MrConnorsmommy cool!
Might i use a canvas board instead of heavy paper?
Yes of course 😀✔️
Can you paste this on a canvas and use watercolours on it?
Yes I’ve actually done that, you need to use a spray acrylic varnish, with possibly 6 coats to protect the work once completed
Quel est le papier transparent que vous utilisez ? Merci pour votre réponse
J'aime beaucoup cet art 😍
Brigitte
Please can you ask in English? 😀🙏
Well I thought I was ready to do this but I think I have the wrong gel medium. Mine is Matt and transparent and I have another one that's self-leveling clear gel. I guess I'll just go ahead and try it. But I think you're calling for white.
Yes white gesso, put it on quite thickly, it strengthens the tissue paper, gives more texture and evens the surface colour to a nice white all over 😀
Purchase artists quality gesso for the best results.
@@lindabrownartist I went ahead and used clear because that's what I had. It's kind of warped but I don't think it's completely dried. How long does it usually take to dry? Thank you for your help on this. I will pick up some white gesso when I go out next time. I'll just give it a try on this clear.
@@suzanplatzer5416 it's important that it dries completely, if it's not completely dry the watercolour will mix with the gesso and you will get pastel colours. Always tape the paper to a board to prevent buckling.
Join my Facebook group, Art with Linda Brown for more tips and techniques. A great place to share your art and ask questions:)
I would love to try out this style. Which other surface can we use instead of 300 lb watercolour paper? In my area it is too expensive at $23.00 CAD per sheet. Also I can only get either Liquitex or Golden white gesso but they sell a few varieties of each and not sure which one is the best to be thick enough to achieve the textures needed. I've never used gesso. Could you advise which gesso I should get in the Liquitex or the Golden please ? Many thanks.
Hi Claire
You could use any heavy paper, or canvas 😀
Either of those gesso brands would work, they are both good artists quality!
Just an all purpose gesso is required
@@lindabrownartist Thank you.
What IS transparent papier
It IS the silk paper ?
Merci
Tissue paper, like gift wrap. When you buy shoes often there's similar tissue paper in the box
@@lindabrownartist Merci Linda 😍

Thank you for your comment I’m sorry I don’t speak your language so I’m not sure what you wrote 😊🙏
@@lindabrownartist she said "sorry what is the lining material* i don't understand"
@@jasminebolly tissue paper, a thin paper that crumples easily.
@@lindabrownartist I know that - I was just translating Ebru Usluer comment above ( 1 year ago ) - as you did not understand it !! Thanks for the reply !
Thank you :)
