Thank you, Britta - you always have the nicest things to say. I have a lovely image in my head of you looking out the window to a snowy Bavaria 😍

You´re so right! 🥳

@ thank you!!💕🍀

That made me giggle, Machteld! Thank you, always. 🥰

You're too sweet, Britta!

Thank you, Maggie!

Thank you, Michelle! 🥰

Hi Susie, great questions. I will not be putting a top coat on this as it is just a study in my sketchbook. However, it is likely that I will do a final varnish coat on the "real" piece when it's finish. As for the varnish on your painting - if it was a water-based varnish your could lightly sand it down and then go over it with multiple thin layers of a matte varnish until you get the look you want. If it's a solvent-based varnish you might try the same thing, with a matte solvent varnish, but test it on something else first. I don't use solvent-based varnishes, so I can not speak from experience. Maybe someone else here can? 🥰

@ thanks for the advice. If you put a top coat on doesn’t it take away from the encaustic look?

LucyLe - that is such an interesting question. I have no idea - I've never done that before, have you? Now I'm going to have to look this up 😂🥰

😍😍😍

Thank you very much - I appreciate it. 🥰

Hi, do you make your cold wax yourself or do you have an address to buy it ready made?

Hi Do - you are so very kind - I love little tips on techniques like this one because they are easy to do and bring a BIG change to the art. As for the link I just tested it and it seems to be working now (might have been a bug): buymeacoffee.com/paintedpaperstudio - I appreciate you, Lovely! 🥰

Hi Heleen! It is not cold wax - it is a soft body acrylic gel medium that I buy pre made. Someone else brought up cold wax for this technique, and I would be interested in learning how it works. Do you work with cold wax?

Oh no, Glenda - I'm sorry you have the bug! I may be biased, but the best way to get through it is watching art videos on RUclips and sipping on my magical "cold cure" - a lemon/lime seltzer mixed with cranberry juice - it make me feel better every time!

I hope to film it in some way, but first I have to figure out where I can ever have enough space to do it 😂 I will keep everyone updated 😍

Sue - I have not tried this with cold wax, but it is an interesting idea. If you experiment with it, please let me know how it works out. 🥰

Hi Katja - it has more body (viscosity). I'm sure you could use any matte medium and get a similar effect, but it might take many more layers. I encourage you to experiment with what you have 🥰

Queen - I feel the "weight" of the weather. I grew up in a town that used to only get 32 days of sunshine a year! It's most likely why I've lived in Southern California for 31 years 😂. Yes, that Southern Ocean Blue is spectacular! 🥰

Thank you, Queen! The great news is that all the videos will be on RUclips for eternity - take your time 😂😍

Awwwwww, thank you Kelly! 🥰

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement, Sally. I hope you give this technique a try! 🥰

Thank you Cindy - it's amazing the difference one product can make! 🥰

Hi Susan! Yes, this was video #1 of a 6-video series affectionately named "The Salsa Series" by one of the viewers 😍 Here is a link to a playlist with all 6 videos. 🥰 ruclips.net/p/PLgIXaAju7by2VcRb34YK-jy83l9X8Hmc4

Thank you, Deanna! "Bob's your uncle" is one of my favorite phrases. I just grabbed this from wiki, "Bob's your uncle" is a phrase commonly used in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries that means "and there it is", or "and there you have it", or "it's done". Typically, someone says it to conclude a set of simple instructions or when a result is reached. The meaning is similar to that of the French expression "et voilà!". 🥰

@@PaintedPaperStudio Fascinating, Jackie! I love new catch phrases, can't wait for the perfect opportunity to say it!! xoxoxo

My gosh, Mary - what a beautiful memory you have of your grandmother her influence is still with you 💜 I don't see a reason why you couldn't build up layers of collage, etc. between layers of the medium. If you experiment with it, please let us know how it goes. 🥰

@@PaintedPaperStudio - I will, Jackie!

Thank you, Angelita! 🥰

Pull it out, Patricia, and have fun with it - it's been lonely 😍

Thank you very much, Sue - it's just such a great way to add that special something to a piece, without the fumes!

Thank you very much, SK - that means a lot especially after all that went wrong with this one. 🥰

Thank you very much, Rozani! 🥰

You’re most welcome. 🙂

Thank you very much for your generosity, Debra - it means so much to me! 🥰

Thank you, Kari-bee! 🥰

Thank you, Linnerlu - I'll put that video in the rotation for after the new year. 🥰

Thank you very much, Donna! 🥰

Thank you RevChristina!

Unfortunately they had to - this is from their website: "The rumors are true - Quinacridone/Nickel Azo Gold (PY150, PO48) in all GOLDEN acrylic lines is being discontinued due to the unavailability of PO48." It's not Golden's fault, they are just a tiny player in the use of these pigments. From what I understand, the real culprit is (primarily) the auto industry.

Thank you, Jo! 🥰

Hi Marilyn - in this video they came from many different places. There are dirsect links to all of them in the description of the video. I hope you find the stencils you're looking for 🥰

Oh, I hope you do it - it's kind of addicting! 🥰

@@PaintedPaperStudio I'm in the middle of a long, large collage... and honestly need a break because it's taking forever! Maybe I'll do a color study for the realistic lynx I plan on painting on top of my collage! I do need to step back!

@@LAYERSOFLIFE24 Knowing when to say when is so important! I like the new handle!

@@PaintedPaperStudio *she googles handle* ... LOL that's how new this is for me!

@@LAYERSOFLIFE24 Hilarious!

That is a funny coincidence...or is the Universe telling you to paint in your cookbooks? 😂 I love painting in mine 🥰

Thank you, Geri! 🥰

Excellent B! I didn't wash mine the first time either, and like you, I didn't have any issues. The second plate was nothing but issues and ever since I just take the safe route from the start. I hope enjoy years and years of going berserk with your printing! 💜

@ thank you! 🙏 A dear friend of mine was very ill with cancer and we knew his death was imminent, I felt helpless yesterday and made prints from morning til after 9:30 as a diversion or I would have collapsed into a feeling of despair. He passed this morning. That gelli plate was a therapeutic tool for me. I’ve only had it less than a week. Looking forward to creative printing and collaging. Thank you so much. I love my prints!

@@b.comeau2597 I am so sorry for your loss, and I hope your heart heals soon. 🥰

@ 🙏💝

😉

Thank you Margaret - I'd love to have you in one of my workshops! I mad that video over a year ago and I'm still using some of the papers! To fram or not to frame is always the question. 🥰

In that video I used newsprint and watercolor paper. 🥰

Hi Maria! I use the crepe-style medical exam paper - it does matter a little. The smooth paper will get very translucent, but not exactly transparent. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do! 🥰

Yes, like a deep trench in the middle of the ocean. 😍

The metals make be crazy 😍 I'm so glad you liked it!

Hi Susan! I could have been me because I do mix green and gold, but can you give me a little more context? Did I mix the two colors and use it? Or do you remember the two colors being mixed and being surprised by the results? It might help me narrow down which video it was in (if it was me). 🥰

@PaintedPaperStudio You didn't actually mix it. You were using it and bemoaning the fact that it was being discontinued but said not to worry because you knew how to mix it yourself. I believe you mentioned putting it in a video but I don't think you had yet to do so 🤔...or, I could be wrong and you might have and I simply don't remember 😉 Anyway, if you're willing to share it would be great 😜 Thanks

@@susanmarcoux7005 Got it - it was actually Golden's Quinacridone Nickle Azo Gold, and the video on how to make it yourself is here ruclips.net/video/uoLR2hXi9Kc/видео.html - I'm so glad we figured this out. 🥰

@PaintedPaperStudio thank you...looking forward to your next video

Thank you very, Michelle! 🥰
