- The Magic of Translucent and Transparent Mark Making in Mixed Media Collage - Medical Exam Table Paper
Today, we are going to make magic by creating translucent and transparent mark-making papers, and we'll use some surprising papers (like medical exam table paper!)
Having a stash of marks that will melt into your art pieces is vital to elevating your art and adding surprise elements organically.
Not only will we create marks on paper, but I will also share my system to know exactly how translucent or transparent a paper will be BEFORE I use it.
And I’ll also show you how these papers work when put to the test by creating a collage with them in my art sketchbook.
It’s a lot today, but I promise - you will learn things that will change how you approach your creativity. It really is magical. medical exam table paper

I really hope that this video opens up new ideas for your artwork. I just watched and realized that there was an audio problem midway through that I didn't catch during the edit. I'm so sorry about that. Please, if you have any questions ask them here. 🥰
You didn't sum up after the actual collage..... did you still have the same conclusions regarding which papers were more translucent?
You're right; I completely forgot to do that 😳. The answer is yes, they did perform beautifully and exactly as on the chart. The medical exam paper even allowed transparency with multiple overlapping layers 🥰@@TamaraRoberts
thanks for clarifying! 😘@@PaintedPaperStudio
As a beginner, I have found your videos so approachable, fun, instructive, and invaluable! ♥️
Mary Ellen - thank you for saying this - it means so much to me. Please always be a "beginner" it's what will make you fall in love with your art 🥰
I agree Mary Ellen! 🤓👍
Thank you, Melissa 🥰@@melissaeller7029
OMG Jackie! What an incredibly thorough and generous experiment to share. Such valuable information. Thank you! ❤❤❤
Thank you, Paul - I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
5:45 I love what you did with your marks on this tea paper. You’re like a mad artistic scientist working in your lab. Fabulous as always! 😍
LOL Trina - I identify as a mad scientist - especially with that carbon pencil * swoon * Thank you so much for always being awesome! 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing this valuable (TIME CONSUMING) video! What a generous gift!
Wendy, and I am thrilled that you enjoyed the video. 🥰
So impressed with how you went about this. Must have taken ages! Not even counting re-filming. Wow. 🤩
Awwww thank you, Cam! It took more than a minute, but it was time very well spent. Thank you so much for always being so supportive.
24:40! Thank you for sharing your experiments.
You're very welcome - it's fun seeing all the experiments come together. Thank you for watching, Anne! 🥰
Oh my dear, Jackie 🤩 You really are methodical and systematic in this video and I love it. Watching you making marks is always a pleasure anyway, because I can see the fun that you have while doing it.
I´ve already used delipaper for making marks and it served my purposes well. But in this video you are definitely lifting the experiments to a higher level. Overworking your video was obviously worth it. Thank you so much for sharing the results. You are inspiring. Love from Britta 🥰
Awwwww, thank you, Britta. I am so much happier this week. Not only how the video turned out, but the mark making and collage, too! Thank you, as always, for your lovely words. 🥰
This study was fantastic! I always learn so much from your experiments with papers and making marks. Thank you, thank you!!!
Thank you very much, Dianne! 🥰
Thanks so much for running this test - very valuable info! Steph
Thank you, Steph!🥰
Thank you Jackie for taking the time to do this thorough experiment for us. I would never have guessed the difference gloss or matte medium would make! I love to work with transparent papers and I’ll be saving this video for sure.
That terrific, Gina. I am so glad you liked it! And yes, the gloss and matte mediums really did have such different effects. Thank yoou for watching. 🥰
This was incredibly helpful, Jackie. I learned a lot. Thank you for taking the time to do this and share it with all of us watching. Using gloss medium instead of matte medium is something I hadn't considered, nor applying it with water. I viewed it over the weekend and am heading upstairs to play with these techniques now. Very excited! Thank you again!
Have a wonderful time experimenting with them, Stacey! Nice to see you again 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio Thanks, Jackie. Yes, I've been a bit busy and have had to have a short "no YouYube" period! 🤭
Amazing experiment, Jackie! Thanks for sharing. Love transparencies, and I just might use your experiment to try it on my work. Your texture are also amazing!!!
Thanks for visiting my channel. Loved to have you there. Have a wonderful day!
I can't wait to see what you do with your experiments, Ana Paula! 🥰
This was super informative, I still think we each need our own study board to be able to refer to it so thank you for showing us how to make one 🎉
YESSSSS!!!!! That's exactly what I hope everyone will do. I have all sorts of reference boards around the studio (and in the garage 😉) Get to it, Reni! 🥰
I did my own board a couple of days ago with the various types of paper I use and it will be a valuable reference. I had done a similar experiment before following instructions from the artist Sally Hirst but that was to make loose strips (peeled off when dry to compare transparency/translucency).
@@deniselovell1096 - I am so happy you made your own board! Sally had a really clever idea - I may create some loose strips to hold up against pieces I'm working on. Thanks for sharing. 🥰
Thank you so much for this! I would never have had the patience to conduct such an experiment! Super helpful!
Thank you, Dawn! I'm so happy it was helpful for you. 🥰
Your are a born teacher So much information explained so well. Wow! A collage changer. I am happy given glue and paper of any kind. Thank you 😊
Thank you for such kind words, Karen. 🥰
Thank you for filming this, it’s very informative and helpful. Also, thank you for linking to the specific products. (P.S. I’m astonished at the translucency of the medical exam paper.)
Right?! It's crazy that such a weird piece of paper would do the coolest thing. Thank you for being here, Ochre! 🥰
wow! I am so glad I found your channel. This was an excellent set of experiments and I learned a lot. Thank you!
Hi Sara! I'm so happy you found your way here 😀. This was a really fun and incredibly fascinating video to work on - I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🥰
Brilliant Jackie!!! I learned so much and have been wanting to experiment more with transparency. Thank you so much!! 🥰
You're welcome, Lori - I hope you have as much fun playing with transparency as I do! 🥰
I was finally able to watch this video. Thanks for the education, so much great information. You're so generous with your knowledge.
Thank you, Jennifer - I really appreciate this. 🥰
This video is joy.
Thank you, Bad Bat! 🥰
Your amazing! Thank you so much for taking so much of your time to teach us!! I learn so much from all your videos ❤❤❤
Thank you, Kelly - YOU are amazing! I really loved making this video and I'm so happy you enjoyed it. 🥰
This was an amazing demonstration. Learned so much. Thank you!
You're welcome, Lucia - I'm so happy that you enjoyed it. 🥰
Thank you Jackie for all the inspiration you send out into the world! New subscriber here, after stumbling over this video. I too love exploring! I need to see and feel things happening myself so will make my own study boards but now I have some new ideas for them. And that candy making silicone thing, love those marks! Now I'm so looking forward to watching more of your videos and catching up 💕
I LOVE it, Christina! Yes, please make your own boards - they are incredible resources! I'm so happy you found your way here, welcome. 🥰
Thank Jackie for all your interesting way to teach how we can appoach to collage , I m a painter and I love colage
Hello Sebastian! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for being here 🥰
Excellent video, thank you! So informative. You answered questions I never even thought of asking. Well done!
Hi Lynda! Thank you - working with translucency makes my heart sing - I hope you give it a try. 🥰
What a tremendous project. Thank you for suc h diligence with a smile!
Thank you, Bella. I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
Extremely helpful video. Very grateful for you sharing this study. Im also happy to hear how to adhere with gloss medium. Ive usually only use matte, this was a lightbulb moment. 😊
Hi Paula! I just love creative lightbulb moments. Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to let me know what you thought. 🥰
🎉Happy birthday to your CZcams channel!!💗🥂🎂 you rock Jackie! Thanks for your good work.Do in Paris🗼🤗😉✨️
Oh my goodness - how did you know that? It's funny; I signed up for this channel a year ago, but I didn't post my first video until July of 2023 (I was too nervous 😂) Thank you for the birthday wishes! 🥰
I enjoyed your video very much, This is the first time that I have been learning composition and using the technique of papers🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, Maggie! I am very excited for you. Learning and playing with papers is a wonderful way to expand your creativity. Thank you for being here. 🥰
Great experiment. All of the info was so helpful as I am new to gel printing, mark making, and collage.
That makes me so happy, Mary Ellen! Have fun playing and experimenting as you go. 🥰
Thank you for this wonderful video! I am just learning Mark Making and this is sooo helpful!!
You're welcome, Tara - perfect timing! 🥰
What a terrific video… thanks for doing all that, you answered a bunch of questions and gave great ideas for use and my own experimentation. A+!
Thank you, Mayet! I'm so happy it was helpful for you, and I hope you have fun with your own experiments. 🥰
I bought the medical exam paper and YES, when you wet it then past it, it is transparent. I did two side by side one wet and the other not and got the same results, the dry one was only translucent. I just wanted to thank you again for all the work you put in this experiment, I think the result is a game changer. I never really liked the look of the translucent. This is great!!! I also found two rolls 14" x 225' for 16$, I'm not sure if the 225' is per roll or combined though. Either way, it's a lot of paper for the price. And, I used it on my gelli plate and it pulls of nicely! IT'S A WIN WIN!! Thanks again!!! OHH I almost forgot, I applied the paint to the side that has a little texture on it. Not sure yet it that will make any difference or not.
I love hearing this, Paula - experiment away! I don't think it will make a difference which side you painted on, but if it does, please let me know. 🥰
✨💖✨ Excellent demonstration. One caveat, I find that different brands of a type/style of paper (or any products, for that matter, like the adhesives used) can behave quite differently. Recording that extra detailed info and/or test multiple brands could be helpful. ☮
You are absolutely right, Alice - that's why I am encouraging everyone to do their own experiments. I just used what I had on hand. I so happy you enjoyed the demo. 🥰
A huge help-thanks for doing ALL that work. I hope to do this study with my own papers thankyou thank you
Oh please do, Sue! It will give you so much more info than I could convey in one video. 🥰
So helpful Jackie, thank you 🙏🏻.
You answered a question for me re deli paper being the same as grease proof too 😊.
I’ve been looking at rice paper so it’s great timing and maybe avoid the very thin to begin with.
Wonderful as ever and I’m looking at my cookbook’s I no longer refer to and give them a new purpose 😊.
Thank you beautiful creative, you inspire many of us here 🙏🏻🤗🙏🏻 💗
You are so kind, Andrea. The deli paper/greaseproof paper debate continues. Some have suggested here that they are not the same. I think I'm going to have to order some from the UK and do my own tests. Just another experiment to look forward to 😍 I'm so happy your here, Andrea. 🥰
🙏🏻😘🙏🏻
Great experiment and I learned a lot. Thank you Jackie!
Thank you, Geri - glad you enjoyed it.
Fabulous video!!! So much to learn! Thank you!!!!!!!
Thank you, Maria - nearly everyday there's something new I'm learning through art. 🥰
Great Video!! Thanks for doing all the work for us!! Appreciate you!❤
Thank you, Carol - and I appreciate you! 🥰
Great study. Thank you
Its always good to experiment. Thankyou Jackie. ❤
100% Truth, Andrea! Thank you for watching. 🥰
so appreciate you filming your studies and experiments. I was so surprised with the gloss medium creating more translucency.
Right, Heather?! There were so many surprises for me on this one. I've got to be honest - I had a dream about using the coffee filter paper 😂😂
I love all your videos, thanks for your generosity ❤😊❤
Thank you very much, Annie! 🥰
Thank you for the fantastic tutorial.
Thank you, Hannah! 🥰
This vid came up on my feed and I am so pleased to have found you! What a thorough and inclusive offering! This helped me so much. I can't thank you enough. I am a mixed media artist and I have used some of these papers but not all of them. Seeing this experiment was invaluable to me and to my art. Thank you so much! Bless xo
Hi Lindsey - I am so happy that the internet found a way to put us together! This was a really fun and informative video for me to make and I'm glad that you find it helpful. I post (almost) every week, so I hope to see you again. 🥰
This was a wonderful, in depth, tutorial on the use and characteristics of various transparent papers/mediums. Thank you for sharing your experiments, your skills, and your know-how. Excellent !
Thank you very much, Mark. I hope it is useful in your art creation 🥰
Thank you soooo much!!!
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge 😎
You're welcome, Jae - I could not contain my excitement on this one...at all 🥰
Thank you Miss Jackie! This was an incredible experiment and ever so useful. I am blown away by your method and its results! I might only be able to give it one thumbs up, but I can give it many exclamation marks! I LOVED THIS!! Thank you again!! ❤
Thank you, Miss Deb! I'll take ALL the exclamation points!!!!! I'm so happy you enjoyed it 🥰
This was great information. I will watch every mark making video you make. I love them. They remind me not to make the same 4 marks over and over. Thank you!😊
Thank you, Shaunna! But I'll tell you a little (not so little) secret - I start nearly every mark making session making the same 4 or five marks before I get loose. 🥰
Bravo...i love seing you sooo organised!! It s mesmerising to me😅.Great tips.Love from Paris🗼.Do.
Thank you, Do! It doesn't happen often, but when I do get organized, I get really organized. 😂
Fantastic. Thank you!
You're very welcome, Gidge. This was one of my absolute favorites to film. 🥰
Thank you, very prwcticle.
Glad it was helpful, Judy! 🥰
Excellent exercise in comparisons.
Thank you very much, Mrs. Jones! 🥰
Thanks so much! This was so helpful!
You're welcome, Andrea. Thank you for watching! 🥰
Hi Jackie! Missed your videos. happy to see you back with great instruction.
And I am so happy to be back, Libby - thank you for being here 🥰
This is fantastic!! I use these types of mark-making techniques in my art and your willingness to provide such a thorough experiment on this is extraordinarily helpful!! I am subscribed to your channel now and am SO pleased to have found you! Thank you Jackie! 😊👍❤
I love hearing this! Thank you for being here 🥰
Thank you so much!! really so helpful!
I'm so happy it was helpful for you, Dawn! 🥰
This was incredibly helpful. Thanks so much.
You're welcome, Elizabeth - it was a fun video to make. 🥰
Thank you so much for a great video 😊
Thanks, Maggie! I'm so happy you liked it 🥰
Lovely work, Jackie❤ Very interesting too!
Hi Cindy, nice to see you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🥰
So cool! I love to just make marks on transparent paper, but you have some really good tips! Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, Reeta! It was a lot of fun to work on. 🥰
Thanks, Jackie! That was a very interesting study! Thanks for sharing! I always learn from your work!😍
You're welcome, Catherine! It was so interesting to do 🥰
What fun is this and so informative. Thank you. Eager to mark make today. Inspired🫶
Karen, I really hope you are mark making today - there's no better way to spend a Tuesday! 🥰
This is very interesting ❤ Thank you ❤
Thank you, Jeanie - I'm glad you liked it. 🥰
Thanks to you!
Thank you, Endy. I’m glad you liked it. 🥰
Amazing results...thank you for sharing your testing process! 🤓
I'm so happy you enjoyed it, Melissa! 🥰
Super helpful interesting. Thanks so much Jackie 👏🌈
You're very welcome, Melanie 🥰
Jackie, thank you for this informative video. I have been "experimenting" with transparency and really appreciate your very thorough study. Keep it up.
Thank you, Gayle! I think playing with transparency is such a fun way to explore new ways of creating. Keep up the experimentation 🥰
Wonderful comparisons. Helps so much with choosing the right papers for the job. The end result in you book was fantastic. Love adding paint to my collages as well.
Thank you very much, Julie! Paint + collage = 💜
Just what I needed to know. Inspired me to be an investigator....and do some of these experiments! THanks so much
😄
I love that, Sally - be the investigator! 🥰
Well this was educational for me! Thank you for sharing all your methods
You're welcome, Candace - you know I can't help myself 😂🥰
Thanks!
Thank you, Wendy - I appreciate it (and you) very much. 🥰
The finish marks reminded me of a Klimt style of pattern. Love it!
Oh, cool - I'm glad you like it 🥰
So good!
Thank you, Lorri! 🥰
Hello, lovely Jackie 🫶! Thank you for your hard work and love for exploring. I'm pretty sure there is no other video on YT like yours. Seven different papers ... wow! The feather mark making made my 💗 sing like yours! And your final collage: soooo beautiful 😍!
Have a great upcoming weekend, lovely!
Aloha from Avignon ❤️🧡💛💚💜
Queen, you always know how to make me smile. This one was so fun to do, but I'll admit, 7 papers was a bit ambitious 😂 🥰
You're helping so many creatives to find their way and their artistic voice! That's so wonderful 💗!
@@roamingqueen - What a beautiful thing to say. Thank you. 🥰
Very interesting reference video!!! Also makes me wanna try things!
Wet strength tissue paper is almost impossible to find in Canada but I did find medical exam table paper on Amazon and will definitely order some!!! Thank you for this video! 🙏🧡
Yes, wet strength tissue can be challenging to get your hands on, but I know you can purchase it directly from the manufacturer in the UK (Carnival) and they can ship it. Not saying you should, but you can. I think you are going to fall in love with that medical exam paper - it's fab on the gel plate too! 🥰
Fabulous 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you very much, Laura! 🥰
What an amazing exploration you have done here Jackie…and it is perfect timing for me as I have been learning collage and wanting to incorporate transparent and translucent papers and wasn’t sure which papers would be best to use. I have tissue, deli, rice, teabag, wet strength tissue and now I need coffee filter paper and medical exam paper. Also LOVE the idea of using silicone candy molds for mark making!
If this is the video you mentioned in last week’s newsletter, it was well worth waiting for 💕
Robin - this was the video that I re-filmed. So glad that I did, and that you enjoyed it. Get your hands on anything silicone for mark making - it just produces incredible marks. 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio definitely worth the wait…. Bought little squares silicone candy mold and can’t wait to mark make with it on some if my transparent papers…also have a ton of handcut foam stamps I’ll need to try on same papers 🥰
YAY @@RobinGayl You are going to have so much fun! 🤩
This was a very interesting and helpful study. Thank you for sharing 😊
I'm glad it was helpful, Fran - nice to see you here 🥰
Fascinating experiment with transparent/translucent papers. I will definitely try this myself. I enjoy rice and tissue papers - but have never tried coffee filters, teabag paper, doctor's office paper and the others. So much to explore! Also - were you collating in a recipe cookbook? Do you do that often - use books to collage in? I was curious about that. My name is Liz, btw. Thanks.
Hi Liz! Yes, the collage was placed in an old cookbook and I love using it for that purpose. I used to collect cookbooks - I had a couple hundred! When I started to simplify it was time to release them. Unfortunately, libraries really don't want old and obscure cookbooks. I was able to give away many, but the rest I saved for "sketchbooks" this way the don't end up in a landfill (at least not for a long time). The pages of this cookbook are thick and satin-y. A perfect substrate to play on. I highly encourage it. As for the papers you haven't tried yet, be prepared to fall in love with them 🥰
Love this, so interesting as I always though Wet Strength would be the winner! ha! and love your use of shells to hold your medium....that I wouldn't have thought of, but I actually have some! Looking forward to another video on taking this idea forward! 🤩
Thank you, Tamara. Originally I thought the wet strength would be in the top 3. I was truly shocked about the medical exam paper being the winner winner chicken dinner 😂
Matte Medium or any matte product) contains a matting agent, which is tiny particles to scatter the light. As a general rule, use all gloss products until the final step to avoid a build up of these matting particles.
Great tip, Kristin - thank you for sharing! 🥰
This study was so helpful, informative and inspiring! Thank you!
I'm so happy you liked it, Bev! Sometimes my inner artist takes my inner nerd out to lunch, and this is what happens 😂 Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a note. 🥰
I think deli paper is much lighter and usually unwaxed (or very lightly waxed) than greaseproof paper and I think other baking paper has a silicone layer. It's quite complex! I'm in UK
You're right it is very complex, Jane 😂. I have a dear friend visiting the UK next month and I'm going to ask her to bring back some greaseproof paper so I can experiment. If you have an alternative idea for a paper that you think is closer to deli paper in the US, I'd love to hear it. I'd love to have a definitive answer to this question. Thank you so much for watching. 🥰
Love the chart… running to the studio to make my own! At 17 ish min there is a little clip of a podcast or something. Thought you would want to know
I'm so happy you're going to make your own chart, Cole. For some reason the voiceover audio dropped out at that moment, and I didn't catch it before uploading. Once uploaded there's nothing you can do. Thank you for letting me know though. 🥰
FYI, there’s a random segment at about 26:20 - just letting you know in case you want to cut it out.
I wonder if it was a glitch? 26:20 is the very end of the video. 🥰
Loving that finished sheet (experiment) as a collage sheet.....Please don't toss it. Lol
Thank you, Libby. No worries - I think it's a keeper 🥰
I was worried I may not be able to eat candy from your silicone candy mold 🤣🙈
LOL - that's why I used the bottom for the print. You can have your candy...and your paint too! 🥰😂
Incredible, valuable discoveries! Do you find gloss medium sticking to be a problem when you use it in a journal? I switched to mat medium because of this issue.
Hi Dabshear! Yes, when I use gloss medium in my sketchbook on facing pages, it does tend to stick. If I want to keep something glossy (which is rare) I usually buff on some Dorland's Wax Medium, or give it a very light dusting of corn starch. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you do your own experiments with it too. 🥰
Thank you! I wonder.. Coffee filters may vary in transparency.
It's true, Maureen - they do vary and I suggest you experiment. But the coffee filter paper I used is linked to in the description and it does gets very transparent when glued with gloss medium. If you do it, please let me know how your experiments come out. 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio 😀Thanks! We have filters I can use, but I may not get to it for a WHILE.
Very interesting video! I have a question about the medical table paper you used. Your link point to the crepe type. There is also a smooth paper. Can you confirm you used the crepe one? Many thanks! I plan to try it but want to buy the good one!
Very good question! It is the crepe-style paper - the exact one I linked to. Having said that, I also have a roll of the smooth paper and that goes pretty transparent, as well - just not as much as the one I used in the video. Grab it and try it - it's so fun!
@@PaintedPaperStudio Many thanks for your quick reply! I will try it for sure. I am new to your channel and enjoy them a lot!
I'd like to see the video about details of what you're doing
You've got it Marlene - it's on the list. In the meantime have you seen these other mark-making videos? czcams.com/video/ltDIVHgK1HY/video.html or czcams.com/video/g8Px0JUK5Zw/video.html
Jackie, what did you use to get those very thin, expressive black lines. It almost looked like a water pen with a fine tip applicator top. If that is the case, where can you find an applicator to fit on a water pen. Thanks for the most instructive video.
Great question Mary Ann! They are fineline ink pen applicators and I used acrylic ink in them. I just added a direct link to the one I have under the supplies section of the description (the last item). They are so fun to use! 🥰
Wow, Jackie@@PaintedPaperStudio I did not know these existed. I’ve been looking for something like this for ages. Thank you!
I'll warn you, though - be sure to have reading glasses on when you try to put the cap back on 😂@@maryannmerrill8692
Thank you very much.v.helpful video.where can I buy medical exam table paper in London UK?xx
Hello Berengere! Amazon UK carries them and calls them "couch hygiene rolls." I can't recommend a specific company for you, but the rolls are inexpensive, so trying one might not cost much and could produce fantastic results. Please let me know if you try one out and how it goes. 🥰
Thank you very much. Will do. Big hello from London UK.Berengere Xx
I saw on Dick Blick that Golden has a new paint called Azo Gold!!! I just ordered it! Yaaaayyy happy dance
BTW I've been painting paper all day. I'm sketching ideas now for a place to use my papers. Also Carnival wet strength on Amazon is offered $88 for 480 sheets. If I $15 for 10 sheets just a few times it costs the same as this. I think I have to just pull the bandaid off and order it
@@joank8370 - my order of 480 sheets arrived 2-weeks ago, and I was like a kid on Christmas morning! If you can, pull the band-aid. I'm in the process of cutting down around 300 of the sheets. When I'm done I'll have somewhere between 1200 -1400 sheets. That will keep me happy for years 😍 🎉💃🏻
You'll have to tell me what you think of the color once you use it. I'm excited to hear, Joan! 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio I have to tell you that I ordered the exam table paper. I've also been using brown painter's paper on a roll, and I just dug up a roll of vellum. I painted some this morning. I also have a roll of player piano paper 🎹 🎶 and tons of old sheet music and ledger paper. I do a lot of surreal collage and had my first and second show last year but I want to do painted paper collage too. This is so inspiring. I've been doing what some call long haul gelli painting and I'll have to tell you the funniest story 🤣 of one of my goofs lol
@@PaintedPaperStudio That's so exciting!!! I will actually order it it's just the hitting the buy button that stops me lol 😆 Have you seen Froyle art on CZcams where she poured her almost empty paint bottles on tissue and let them dry overnight? She had beautiful results and I think I'm going to try it today. We're expecting a winter storm maybe blizzard so perfect time to experiment
I see that you recommend Golden gloss medium. I used Golden gloss gel under and over a collage piece, and it came out cloudy. The range of products makes my head spin, and I'd rather not buy another product when I have several different types of gel medium. Was it the gel that caused that? And THANK YOU for doing all this testing!
I'm not exactly sure Betsy, but I'm going to test it today! 😍 Please tell me the exact gel medium you used from Golden, and the type of paper you used.
I used golden soft gel matte because I was out of matte medium. Had never used a gel medium before. Do you think the key is using a GEL medium in GLOSS FORM, not matte? It was torn magazine paper. I have to confess I’m confused all over again.
@@betsyellis9883 Thanks for sharing, Betsy. I think I misunderstood your first question. I thought you were referring to how the mediums work for translucent and transparent papers. But it seems from your answer above that you're looking to see how to keep the finish on the collage pieces clear. A good rule of thumb is to coat collage pieces with Gloss Medium to retain clarity and then go over them with matte medium later if you don't want them shiny. Does that help?
Hi there. Is butcher paper the same as deli paper?
Hi Judy! No, the butcher paper that I use has a poly coating on one side. It's supposed to prevent freezer burn for food, but I use it because acrylic-painted papers peel right off it easily. Deli paper tends to be much smaller and thinner. You can find it waxed and unwaxed. I use unwaxed. 🥰
Papers seem to have a shiny side. Which side is applied to surface?
Bonnie - this is a great question! Some of the papers do have a shinier side. Although I didn't focus on that during this experiment, I can say that I mostly painted on the shinier side out of habit. You've inspired me to do experiments focusing on the less shiny side. Stay tuned 🥰
I tracked down some deli paper here from Etsy... I haven't experimented yet, so can't really help. I googled the types of paper and am still a bit confused 😮
It can be confusing - if only the paper types had universal names. The best advice I can give is to test papers as you find them. I will contiune to try to find papers by name for you.
