I love watching you create using collage papers! I have one suggestion - the music playing while you're talking is very distracting and for those of us who have hearing problems, it make hearing what you're saying very difficult. I noticed that closed caption was not available. Lowering the volume or selecting a more soothing background music would help with this problem.
Hi Janet, thanks for watching 😊. A couple of my video would not allow me to turn on closed captioning, and I think this was one unfortunately. I’m sorry to hear you couldn’t hear and that closed captioning wasn’t available to help. Your suggestion is noted and thanks. 👍
Thank you for pointing this out. I was about to write the same thing. The music was VERY distracting and I personally found it unpleasant. Everything else about the video was lovely!
I was gifted a pack of rice paper so I’m currently working with them using your method of creating collage papers then incorporating into my art… you are a true inspiration! Having a blast through the process, not rushing to get to the end result but actually feeling/seeing where the process takes me . Being in the PRESENT is something I am consciously working on. I am a self taught artist for about 20 years now and it’s interesting to look back on how I’ve evolved. I love love love this part of my life… Thanks for sharing your love of the process, Marabeth! 💖💫
I’m so excited to hear this, Robyn! I hope you check back and give me updates-it always helps me relax into the process when I can hear other artists talk about how it feels for them. We ALL experience this, but figuring out how to be present like you are is challenging and hard to make your way to, but I do think it’s the secret sauce!💗
@@marabethquinartsorry Marybeth. I have adhd so I get overloaded and distracted by too much stimuli but that’s not your problem, and I shouldn’t be rude. I’ve looked further into your videos and I’m grateful for your tips. I love ❤️ love your work. Thank you 🎉
The translucency is magical, I love and will try to do the tissue paper collage. I love paper, tissue paper is like the like organza in textiles lets the air in, classy lets one go to the next and next pretty color, just wonderful. Thank you.
I am 73 & just about to start my Artist/creative years I have planned for myself! Prior too, my creative expression has been in designing and developing gardens and homes. I’m so excited!! I love your style. I am very drawn to encaustic and wonder if your craft is a good companion for encaustic 🤔 I will find out. ☺️
Jenn, tissue paper is an outstanding companion for encaustic. I’ve used tissue paper in my artwork for about twenty years now-for mixed media paintings, art journals, and encaustic. The transparency of the unpainted portion of the tissue paper is 100% when used in encaustic; I love the way it disappears. It’s slightly visible on other surfaces (if you look closely). And another thing I’ve done with it is apply rubber stamp images to it with archival permanent ink pads (Ranger archival or Stazon brands). I have quite a collection of them, many with abstract patterns/designs that I love to use. Also alphabet stamps. I have a feeling you’re going to love this. I didn’t start pursuing my interest is making art until I was 50 (self-taught), and I’m 69 now and semi-retired. I finally have a decent amount of time to spend on it, and I just love it MORE every day. 😊
You’re my hero, Jenn-I LOVE that this new part of your creative journey is just getting going. How exciting! I’ve been drawn to encaustic as well but never took a class. I’m sure you could incorporate but I can’t speak from experience on that. Let me know how it goes!
Your comment about just enjoying THE PROCESS really spoke to me. I tend to want to finish something all in one sitting but finding that THAT is just riduclous. Your are it beautiful. Thanks for your explanations as you went forward. Enjoyed very much❤️💥
I’m so happy it resonates-I have to constantly remind myself to just relax, let it unfold and enjoy it. Thanks so much for watching and for your lovely words 😊

Thank you, this is wonderful! I appreciate you showing a product such as Golden because it helps to know what to use for us beginners. Your process is beautiful and intuitive and the connection with your uncle feels very spiritually present and in the moment as you speak of him.

Wonderful art, TFS. I made in school a nice art piece with tissue paper bottles in blue, green, and purple layering them a little bit over each other like standing on a table and it did look like the sun would shine behind them. It was a really nice effect.
I came across this video by chance, and I've watched it several times now. I'm fascinated by your process, and so inspired! Thank you for sharing how you work. (That landscape is amazing!)
Thank you so much! I’m so happy it’s inspiring. ❤️ And if you haven’t seen it already, I did a whole video on that landscape. You can see it here: ruclips.net/video/3mZMG6mP6uw/видео.htmlsi=DjShsxhW2-aSws3b

I'm so glad, Mary! I hope you enjoy it! And if you decide you want a go-at-your-own-pace introductory class, I have one available here: www.marabethquinart.com/collage-class
I’m glad to hear it, Laura. It took a lot of years of dead ends to see the way forward-it’s always good to hear that it is inspiring to other people. Thanks for watching! 😊
Amazing process, inspiring results, thank you for sharing (unfortunately this electronic "music" made me nervous, it kinda disturbs your soft and gentle art, if I may say so)
@Marabethquinnart I looked up the tissue paper you like & have a question. Do you use just one layer? Formerly when I've used tissue paper, it won't hold wet media. Before I purchase some, I thought I'd ask. Thanks! I really enjoyed this clip & am now following you on IG 🥰
I usually add multiple layers of tissue to a painting-it adds depth, the different colors interact and it lends that dreamy feel to the overall aesthetic. I also use different brands of tissue because they have different qualities, as well as rice paper, teabag paper and mulberry paper. All are semi-transparent and lend specific qualities to the painting. If you’re having trouble with your tissue paper holding together, sometimes brushing it less when tinting it will help.
The background music is beyond irritating. It’s wholly intolerable and has put me off subscribing as there’s no captions. Your work, however, is inspiring.
Sorry to hear that and I understand. I’ve tried , but was unable to turn on closed captioning on this particular video so you made the right choice in not watching. Thanks for the nice comment about my work. 🙏
Thank you for sharing your secrets :D I love how intuative your art is and I love collage...paper is magic and apparently so is tissue paper, headed out the door for TP today!
Can’t wait for you to try it! Tell me what you think afterwards-I’d love to hear about it. And I agree, who knew little scraps of paper can have such a lovely effect! And just a little p.s.-it has taken me years to let my art be intuitive! I’ve been known to hold really tightly to ‘should’, if you know what I mean. 😉
I very much enjoyed this video. Although I did find the choice of music as a background to be extremely distracting. I don't know why there has to be music when someone's teaching. Nonetheless it was a great video
Hi Marabeth, I've only just found your channel and I'm hooked!!! I find your work very informative and freeing the way you work. I haven't yet found my own way in the art world as yet, I started With fluid paint pouring and have been enjoying it but lately I find That their are so many artists doing the same thing and that's fine But I would like to try some art with your methods (my own take on it) If you know what I meen. Where should I begin I enjoyed your video on Painting on an exercise pad into squares but yet to try it. Would this be a good starting point? Sorry for the big ramble!! 👏💙🌈
Hi Janet! I’m so happy you find the channel helpful-that’s just what I was hoping for! Firstly, it’s very normal to start with one type of art and then keep morphing into something new; that’s actually the lifeblood of a dynamic art career, so you’re right on track! 😉 And there is nothing wrong at all with trying to do what another artist does when you’re learning and experimenting. For eons, art students (and we’re all students to some degree) have learned by trying to duplicate what other artists did, and then as they progress, they find their own voice, so again, you’re right on track. I would suggest starting with the exercise you mentioned and really try to just enjoy the process and experimenting with brush strokes and materials without much concern to how it looks. As you get more comfortable and enjoy yourself, you will begin to find that you like your work more. It’s never supposed to look great at first! (That’s the part no one tells you). Good luck and remember to have fun-that’s where we learn the best. Let me know how it goes! I’d love to hear.
Thank you! I use the Glazing medium because I also do a lot of paint glazes in my process, so it’s interchangeable. But I’ve also used others like matte medium and like it better-it seems to be a bit thinner and doesn’t get all over my fingers as much.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I love to collage and I've been experimenting with watercolor and I miss eclectic monoprinting. So much fun! Thanks Marabeth!
I use Golden Liquid Glazing Medium, but there are other mediums you can use as well. I use this one because it will also thin out my paint and it adheres the paper really well without becoming really sticky.
I hear you loud & clear with the trafficpeople yelling + noises out side every day. 😉the collage layers l work with papers textiles other bits & bobs even stamp stencil over parts of the art l working on 😉 Keep Rocking 🤙 the good stuff 👍. Beautiful person 🤗🌱🐛🌷🦋 🕊️🫶🐦2024🪵🐉 Epic Soar 🪽04 ✝️ ⛅🗽🇺🇲🦅
Thank you Colette! And yes, it absolutely comes with practice. If you want an introduction to the process, I have a class you can go at your own pace on: www.marabethquinart.com/collage-class I’d love to have you join me!
Thank You Marabeth. You are such an Embolder! Is this a correct Word? I love your Art and the Process. Now I will try to overcome the Voice in my Mind: this is not beautiful, you are always a layperson...😔
I’m thrilled to hear this is encouraging-I speak from a place of familiarity with the voice you hear as well! Not only is that voice inaccurate but it never improves us. I constantly have to bring awareness to that voice and see that it’s just a habitual thought-it’s hard work though! Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for sharing your process. I stumbled across your video and I find your approach very soothing. I enjoyed seeing how you make and use your collage papers. They are beautiful. I’m have been using them in junk journals and hand made art journals
yes, if I have used water-soluble products like crayons or anything that moves around when wet, I spray a little varnish over top to fix it and then when dry, put on several thin coats of Liquitex satin varnish to protect the whole thing.
Love the video. I love playing with textures and tissue paper. The only one issue is the music, I can't listen to your explanation with the music which is a shame because id love to understand what you're explaining. Being autistic the music is very triggering and overwhelming.
This particular video I got the volume of the music too loud-I’m sorry it was distracting and triggering for you. But I appreciate you watching and hope that my other videos have a better music volume. If not, it does have closed captioning available on most of them that can be turned on with the cog wheel in the upper right. Hope that helps and thanks so much for watching.
Thank you, Marabeth! You've inspired me to collage on Canvas. I do junk journaling collage, but I needed a new slant. So keep collaging...I LOVE what you do !
Wonderful art, TFS. I made in school a nice art piece with tissue paper bottles in blue, green, and purple layering them a little bit over each other like standing on a table and it did look like the sun would shine behind them. It was a really nice effect.
I just found your channel this very minute. I absolutely love your process and the paintings, even in this state or in particular in this state, are very beautiful and interesting. But I must agree with the previous comment that the music is loud and distracting . Just let us hear your own voice which is lovely. Thank so much!
Your art is beautiful. I love the etheric quality of your work with tissue papers. I am a lover of tissue papers myself and love painting them, only it takes so much longer to use them up in a work of art.
Love your process . I love collage and after being a canvas mostly oils artist for many years I decided to incorporate my love of collage to create a combined canvas art. Thank you for the inspiration your work is so lovely.
I’m so happy about that-I pretty much had that same path (except with acrylics) and I went from just a little collage here and there to now covering the canvas. There’s so much to experiment with. Enjoy! And thanks for watching, Christie!
Enjoy your work but gosh, the music!!! yuck. Couldn't keep watching ... I'll check back and subscribe if I can find some videos without this music that made my head spin.
Do you paint the canvas underneath before glueing the papers & do you paint over them or do mark making lines , etc over them ?? I never know what to do so as not to ruin them . Thanks . Love your work !
I do both-sometimes I will lay down an acrylic base and then paper over, doing mark making on all layers-the base, mid-way, and then on top of everything. But other times, I paint my botanicals on the papers and don’t put paint down first-in my latest class, The Layered Botanical, I exclusively work with this process. It’s fun! And sometimes I will put paint glazes over parts of the paintings just to harmonize it or tone things down.
I’m glad you’re enjoying them! I actually have tried a few different brands and honestly, once they get in my studio, I don’t know which brand is which (which doesn’t help me evaluate them very well!) but the different brands do have different qualities about them. I’m trying to be better about noting what those are as I try a new brand.
I use Golden’s Glazing Medium to adhere the collage to the surface and it is super easy to wash off my hands when I’m done. While I’m working with it, I can wipe my fingers on a towel and they never get too sticky like they do with glue. I highly recommend trying it.
Thanks! And I love background music, it’s just a personal preference. although I admit, this video’s volume is higher than my other videos and unfortunately can’t be changed. You can turn on closed captioning, however, by clicking on the little cog wheel. Thanks for watching 😊
You inspired me to try layering transparent papers and now I can't stop playing with them. I've experimented with watercolour on wet strength tissue to make my papers, after deciding that I wasn't happy using plastic acrylics. Plus I want the transparency but I see that the really watered down acrylics you've used were actually quite transparent. I do love watercolours though more than acrylics. I'd be interested to know why you choose to use glazing medium rather than matt or gloss medium. But another thing I've learnt from someone's video is that if I stick the papers down with wallpaper paste I can use watercolours over it very easily once the papers have dried. As you might be able to tell, I'm absolutely fascinated by this process and materials. Thank you.
It is a fun process, indeed! So happy you’re enjoying working with transparent papers-I love it too. I use the glazing medium for several reasons: it doesn’t get gummy on my hands like matte medium does, and I also like to use it to make glazes with my paints and I use those sometimes over the paper, so it’s just handy to have the same product do both. And I have also found that I can put watercolors over the papers I have adhered with Golden Glazing Medium after it’s dried. They work just fine and then I spray varnish it to lock it in place before I brush varnish it.
What a beautiful story of how you connected to collage via your uncle. I LOVE what you say about "becoming" and being in the middle stages of a work in progress. So glad you popped up in my feed! 🙂
I’m happy I did as well! I’m glad it resonates with you-I think our thoughts about our creative process really drive the whole thing. Thanks for watching!
It does work, although the tissue doesn’t have the same transparency as the ones I paint with diluted acrylic. Experiment and see how they both work-I have found uses for both.
I liked your video especially well, because I paint as an oil painter with just this stain technique. Your mixed media ideas are very fresh and modern! Thank you very much for your great video and your shown insights into your work process. Best regards from Germany in Berlin.
I used to use them a lot-I seem to do either/or, and just haven’t been set up for them in the last 5 years or so. Acrylics are just so easy and dry so fast, and that makes them really convenient. Thanks for watching 😊
Just discovered you when i saw your video on building layers with tissue collage paper... LOVED IT, love your whole process, subscribed so i can see more!! Thanks for sharing! PS: never heard of asemic writing, love it, love learning new things... also, never heard of "rigger" brush, will research that and try it too! 👍👍
So happy you’re liking it, Chris! I love the layering process-so fun. If you decide you want to take a class, I just had one come out a couple weeks ago-Introduction to Collage: Learning to Paint with Paper. Here’s the link if you want to check it out www.marabethquinart.com/collage-class
Thank you so much Marabeth, I really really enjoyed watching and listening to you talking through your process. And I really really love ❤️ your work. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumb’s up too. Please stay safe and well too
Hi Marabeth your video popped up and I really enjoyed watching your process. I enjoy working with tissue altho I mostly use the free stuff from shoe boxes etc!! I love colour, and spray or paint on it and even stamp on it. I use the tissue for wrapping gifts as well as collage and cardmaking. looking fwd to your nxt video. Have a great week and thx from NZ
Sorry Christie, somehow I missed responding to your nice comment! I use a lot of paper from shoe boxes as well but I’ve never spray painted on it. I love that and will have to try it!
love your technique, Marabeth and the finished products very sweet to listen to you describe where and how you are in the moment of adding looking mark making.....what joy
Hi Marabeth, my medium I seriously love is watercolor and have loved it for many years. So….. many paintings later, now over 30 years, I have run up against a wall of boredom and seem to not be feeling exhilarated over my work these days. Yes, I sell my art, my clients are thrilled with them BUT I’m not! I remembered many moons ago loving the collage process, the feeling of the paper on piece, the endless hours that somehow, did not seem long. You have inspired me to begin again with that and see how it blooms. What would you suggest as to the process of doing this successfully on strictly watercolor surface without acrylics?
I love watercolor too! I’d love to see your work. And I think boredom setting in is so common when our creative nature is ready for some new iteration of what we’ve been doing, so I think you’re right on track! And just adding collage to your watercolors using the golden glazing medium will work just fine with it. Let me know how it goes, Denise! I’d love to hear.
This was helpful. Maybe I can make progress following you at this time. Tho I always feel frustrated when I really like something and then artist says oh it’s just a study or it’s not finished. Your work is beautiful but i like rough interesting work 😉.
I actually know what you’re saying-a painting being ‘done’ is really a subjective idea, isn’t it? I want to get better at leaving my work in the rough stages and allowing my definition of ‘done’ to include that raw, almost unfinished look. It’s hard to do! But always worth striving for
I haven’t used it but don’t really have a problem with tissue-depends on the brand I guess. I’m mostly using medical exam paper instead of tissue-have you tried it?
a.co/d/b29bYug This tissue paper is pretty standard, but I also use lots of different types-shoe box paper (which can really fall apart and seem to dissolve) store bought tissue and deli paper. They all react differently and I’ve just had to experiment with them to see how I can use them. I just let them fall apart and that has its own unique look on the surface that I like, so it’s mostly learning what you like. Hope this helps!
@@marabethquinart 100 CT White 17GSM (Thicker, Durable & Crispy) Premium Quality Tissue Paper (White). This is the one I saw on your RUclips. Is this one you use?
It’s one of the ones I use. I also just find any tissue I come across-some are in shoes boxes or gifts, and there’s also deli paper you can try. They all react a little differently so it’s worth experimenting with
Lovely art and we love the process of making art too, it’s like bringing order out of chaos. Mixed media is just like life, putting the individual pieces of our lives together to make a beautiful, meaningful image.

@Marabethquinnart I looked up the tissue paper you like & have a question. Do you use just one layer? Formerly when I've used tissue paper, it won't hold wet media. Before I purchase some, I thought I'd ask. Thanks! I really enjoyed this clip & am now following you on IG 🥰
I usually add multiple layers of tissue to a painting-it adds depth, the different colors interact and it lends that dreamy feel to the overall aesthetic. I also use different brands of tissue because they have different qualities, as well as rice paper, teabag paper and mulberry paper. All are semi-transparent and lend specific qualities to the painting. If you’re having trouble with your tissue paper holding together, sometimes brushing it less when tinting it will help.
The background music is beyond irritating. It’s wholly intolerable and has put me off subscribing as there’s no captions. Your work, however, is inspiring.
Sorry to hear that and I understand. I’ve tried , but was unable to turn on closed captioning on this particular video so you made the right choice in not watching. Thanks for the nice comment about my work. 🙏
Very pretty! ❤️🌹
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for sharing your secrets :D I love how intuative your art is and I love collage...paper is magic and apparently so is tissue paper, headed out the door for TP today!
Can’t wait for you to try it! Tell me what you think afterwards-I’d love to hear about it. And I agree, who knew little scraps of paper can have such a lovely effect! And just a little p.s.-it has taken me years to let my art be intuitive! I’ve been known to hold really tightly to ‘should’, if you know what I mean. 😉
I very much enjoyed this video. Although I did find the choice of music as a background to be extremely distracting. I don't know why there has to be music when someone's teaching. Nonetheless it was a great video
Thanks for watching Carolyn 😊
Hi Marabeth, I've only just found your channel and I'm hooked!!!
I find your work very informative and freeing the way you work.
I haven't yet found my own way in the art world as yet, I started
With fluid paint pouring and have been enjoying it but lately I find
That their are so many artists doing the same thing and that's fine
But I would like to try some art with your methods (my own take on it)
If you know what I meen. Where should I begin I enjoyed your video on
Painting on an exercise pad into squares but yet to try it. Would this be
a good starting point? Sorry for the big ramble!! 👏💙🌈
Hi Janet! I’m so happy you find the channel helpful-that’s just what I was hoping for! Firstly, it’s very normal to start with one type of art and then keep morphing into something new; that’s actually the lifeblood of a dynamic art career, so you’re right on track! 😉 And there is nothing wrong at all with trying to do what another artist does when you’re learning and experimenting. For eons, art students (and we’re all students to some degree) have learned by trying to duplicate what other artists did, and then as they progress, they find their own voice, so again, you’re right on track. I would suggest starting with the exercise you mentioned and really try to just enjoy the process and experimenting with brush strokes and materials without much concern to how it looks. As you get more comfortable and enjoy yourself, you will begin to find that you like your work more. It’s never supposed to look great at first! (That’s the part no one tells you). Good luck and remember to have fun-that’s where we learn the best. Let me know how it goes! I’d love to hear.
How awesome!❤
Thank you Jill! 😊
Your work is beautiful. Why do you use glazing medium as opposed to ordinary medium bearing in mind you are papering over the top?
Thank you! I use the Glazing medium because I also do a lot of paint glazes in my process, so it’s interchangeable. But I’ve also used others like matte medium and like it better-it seems to be a bit thinner and doesn’t get all over my fingers as much.
I want to come play at your house!🤣😻
Wish I had studio space that accommodated that, Cathy 😊
This is exactly what I was looking for. I love to collage and I've been experimenting with watercolor and I miss eclectic monoprinting. So much fun! Thanks Marabeth!
Yep!!! You just need to be willing to wrestle with it!
The willingness to wrestle and stick with it has opened doors to my creativity that nothing else could. Thanks for watching 😊
Do you use glue to stick tissue papers? Thanks for sharing. Looks beautiful
I use Golden Liquid Glazing Medium, but there are other mediums you can use as well. I use this one because it will also thin out my paint and it adheres the paper really well without becoming really sticky.
I hear you loud & clear with the trafficpeople yelling + noises out side every day. 😉the collage layers l work with papers textiles other bits & bobs even stamp stencil over parts of the art l working on 😉
Keep Rocking 🤙
the good stuff 👍.
Beautiful person 🤗🌱🐛🌷🦋

Thank you 😊
this inspires me so very much! xo
I’m so happy to hear that!💗
This is fabulous!!
Thank you, Elizabeth! 😘😘
Love this! Your process is amazing!
Please tell me what surface you are using, it looks like a regular canvas!
Indeed, it is canvas! Sometimes I will also work on wood panel as well as paper. They all work with collage like this…
@@marabethquinart Thank you, I look forward to trying this!
Love this!! How to get to the finish results? Guess it comes with practice? I love textures!! ❤
Thank you Colette! And yes, it absolutely comes with practice. If you want an introduction to the process, I have a class you can go at your own pace on: www.marabethquinart.com/collage-class I’d love to have you join me!
Thank You Marabeth. You are such an Embolder! Is this a correct Word? I love your Art and the Process. Now I will try to overcome the Voice in my Mind: this is not beautiful, you are always a layperson...😔
I’m thrilled to hear this is encouraging-I speak from a place of familiarity with the voice you hear as well! Not only is that voice inaccurate but it never improves us. I constantly have to bring awareness to that voice and see that it’s just a habitual thought-it’s hard work though! Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for sharing your process. I stumbled across your video and I find your approach very soothing. I enjoyed seeing how you make and use your collage papers. They are beautiful.
I’m have been using them in junk journals and hand made art journals
I stumbled on the process myself and now am obsessed! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and the process 😊
do you need to "seal" your pieces when you are done? I do alcohol inks and we have to seal them with varnish and a UV coating to protect them
yes, if I have used water-soluble products like crayons or anything that moves around when wet, I spray a little varnish over top to fix it and then when dry, put on several thin coats of Liquitex satin varnish to protect the whole thing.
very cool my friend. very unique
I wish you success soon, I support your channel, friends
Thanks ever so much 😉
Love the video. I love playing with textures and tissue paper.
The only one issue is the music, I can't listen to your explanation with the music which is a shame because id love to understand what you're explaining. Being autistic the music is very triggering and overwhelming.
This particular video I got the volume of the music too loud-I’m sorry it was distracting and triggering for you. But I appreciate you watching and hope that my other videos have a better music volume. If not, it does have closed captioning available on most of them that can be turned on with the cog wheel in the upper right. Hope that helps and thanks so much for watching.
Thank you, Marabeth! You've inspired me to collage on Canvas. I do junk journaling collage, but I needed a new slant. So keep collaging...I LOVE what you do !
Thanks so much, Marti! So glad you’re inspired!
I love your work. Ina, South Africa. Well done!
Wonderful art, TFS. I made in school a nice art piece with tissue paper bottles in blue, green, and purple layering them a little bit over each other like standing on a table and it did look like the sun would shine behind them. It was a really nice effect.
It really is mesmerizing and so much fun! Thanks for the comment 😊
I just found your channel this very minute. I absolutely love your process and the paintings, even in this state or in particular in this state, are very beautiful and interesting. But I must agree with the previous comment that the music is loud and distracting . Just let us hear your own voice which is lovely. Thank so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your art is beautiful. I love the etheric quality of your work with tissue papers. I am a lover of tissue papers myself and love painting them, only it takes so much longer to use them up in a work of art.
It does-it’s not a quick process. But I love the effect of the layering. Thanks for the kind words-much appreciated 🙏
Love your process . I love collage and after being a canvas mostly oils artist for many years I decided to incorporate my love of collage to create a combined canvas art. Thank you for the inspiration your work is so lovely.
I’m so happy about that-I pretty much had that same path (except with acrylics) and I went from just a little collage here and there to now covering the canvas. There’s so much to experiment with. Enjoy! And thanks for watching, Christie!
Love Love Love - so interesting! I'm not an "artist" but find collage to be fun to play with. Thanks for sharing.
I’m so glad you love to play with it, Charlene! I would say that definitely makes you an artist. 😊 thanks so much for watching and commenting 😊
Your commentary was very helpful. However the background music was entirely distracting and detracting from the video.
Noted. Thanks for watching 😊
Enjoy your work but gosh, the music!!! yuck. Couldn't keep watching ... I'll check back and subscribe if I can find some videos without this music that made my head spin.
Good, glad you quit watching if it was affecting you like that. Who needs that? 😊
Your work is beautiful! I like to see what other collage artists do occasionally.
Thank you so much, Jeanne! I do too-it’s always inspiring
I enjoyed video and your teachings but I must say the background music was extremely distracting and somewhat annoying. Sorry
I understand, thanks for watching 😊
Is this art durable? Do you use acid-free archival materials? Or are they protected by the glazing compound?
I’m not sure if the glazing medium is protective but I apply protective varnish at the end of the process. Thanks for watching, Pam😊
Do you paint the canvas underneath before glueing the papers & do you paint over them or do mark making lines , etc over them ?? I never know what to do so as not to ruin them . Thanks . Love your work !
I do both-sometimes I will lay down an acrylic base and then paper over, doing mark making on all layers-the base, mid-way, and then on top of everything. But other times, I paint my botanicals on the papers and don’t put paint down first-in my latest class, The Layered Botanical, I exclusively work with this process. It’s fun! And sometimes I will put paint glazes over parts of the paintings just to harmonize it or tone things down.
So enjoying these videos! What is the name of the tissue paper you use from Amazon? I can't find the "notes" section.?
I’m glad you’re enjoying them! I actually have tried a few different brands and honestly, once they get in my studio, I don’t know which brand is which (which doesn’t help me evaluate them very well!) but the different brands do have different qualities about them. I’m trying to be better about noting what those are as I try a new brand.
Have delved into collage many times from the usual watercolor, how do you clean the glue medium off your hands? TIA
I use Golden’s Glazing Medium to adhere the collage to the surface and it is super easy to wash off my hands when I’m done. While I’m working with it, I can wipe my fingers on a towel and they never get too sticky like they do with glue. I highly recommend trying it.
Gorgeous. Would you consider not having background music
Thanks! And I love background music, it’s just a personal preference. although I admit, this video’s volume is higher than my other videos and unfortunately can’t be changed. You can turn on closed captioning, however, by clicking on the little cog wheel. Thanks for watching 😊
This is breathtakingly beautiful! I love seeing your process. Do you ever use Deli Paper?
Not yet but I imagine I will at some point. And thank you for the kind words 😊
Please get rid of the music...I want to listen but can't take the music in the background.
Thanks for watching Monica 😊
Lovely, thank you for sharing. Only thing that spoils the video is the music, a shame.
Noted! Thanks for watching, Lesley and happy 2024 🎊
How do you store the papers that are leftover from being torn up? Your rainbow box of painted tissue papers is beautiful.
I have a small box that I put scraps of paper into
So interesting but please pick better music. Whatever this is, is awful.
Thanks for watching, Barbara 😊
Love your work and how you demonstrate. The music was so distracting and even made me a little nauseous.
Sorry to hear that but glad you enjoyed the demonstration 😊
Beautiful art. What is your work glued onto? Thank you so much.
Thank you! Sometimes I use paper and other times canvas. Occasionally I will use a wood panel as well. All work great with the papers.
You inspired me to try layering transparent papers and now I can't stop playing with them. I've experimented with watercolour on wet strength tissue to make my papers, after deciding that I wasn't happy using plastic acrylics. Plus I want the transparency but I see that the really watered down acrylics you've used were actually quite transparent. I do love watercolours though more than acrylics. I'd be interested to know why you choose to use glazing medium rather than matt or gloss medium.
But another thing I've learnt from someone's video is that if I stick the papers down with wallpaper paste I can use watercolours over it very easily once the papers have dried. As you might be able to tell, I'm absolutely fascinated by this process and materials. Thank you.
It is a fun process, indeed! So happy you’re enjoying working with transparent papers-I love it too. I use the glazing medium for several reasons: it doesn’t get gummy on my hands like matte medium does, and I also like to use it to make glazes with my paints and I use those sometimes over the paper, so it’s just handy to have the same product do both. And I have also found that I can put watercolors over the papers I have adhered with Golden Glazing Medium after it’s dried. They work just fine and then I spray varnish it to lock it in place before I brush varnish it.
Thanks for your reply!
What a beautiful story of how you connected to collage via your uncle. I LOVE what you say about "becoming" and being in the middle stages of a work in progress. So glad you popped up in my feed! 🙂
I’m happy I did as well! I’m glad it resonates with you-I think our thoughts about our creative process really drive the whole thing. Thanks for watching!
Would that tissue paper work for gell plate printing?
It does work, although the tissue doesn’t have the same transparency as the ones I paint with diluted acrylic. Experiment and see how they both work-I have found uses for both.
asemic writing literally means writing without words.
That is the best way to describe it 😉
I liked your video especially well, because I paint as an oil painter with just this stain technique. Your mixed media ideas are very fresh and modern! Thank you very much for your great video and your shown insights into your work process. Best regards from Germany in Berlin.
My pleasure to share-your work sounds interesting! Thanks so much for watching and leaving me a comment, Diana!😊
I couldn't finish watching because of the music
Thanks for watching at all, Nancy 😊
I just found you. Loving your process. Quick question do you ever use oils instead of acrylic?
I used to use them a lot-I seem to do either/or, and just haven’t been set up for them in the last 5 years or so. Acrylics are just so easy and dry so fast, and that makes them really convenient. Thanks for watching 😊
Just discovered you when i saw your video on building layers with tissue collage paper... LOVED IT, love your whole process, subscribed so i can see more!! Thanks for sharing!
PS: never heard of asemic writing, love it, love learning new things... also, never heard of "rigger" brush, will research that and try it too! 👍👍
So happy you’re liking it, Chris! I love the layering process-so fun. If you decide you want to take a class, I just had one come out a couple weeks ago-Introduction to Collage: Learning to Paint with Paper. Here’s the link if you want to check it out www.marabethquinart.com/collage-class
Can you use this technique on mixed media paper, or should the background really be canvas?
I use both paper and canvas and they both work great, Kate!
@@marabethquinart Thank you!
Thank you so much Marabeth, I really really enjoyed watching and listening to you talking through your process. And I really really love ❤️ your work. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumb’s up too. Please stay safe and well too
Thank you so much-for the kind words and the support ❤️
Music is ANNOYING and distracting.
Hi Daniel, I know it’s not for everyone. 😊 Thanks for watching.
Hi Marabeth your video popped up and I really enjoyed watching your process. I enjoy working with tissue altho I mostly use the free stuff from shoe boxes etc!! I love colour, and spray or paint on it and even stamp on it. I use the tissue for wrapping gifts as well as collage and cardmaking. looking fwd to your nxt video. Have a great week and thx from NZ
Sorry Christie, somehow I missed responding to your nice comment! I use a lot of paper from shoe boxes as well but I’ve never spray painted on it. I love that and will have to try it!
love your technique, Marabeth and the finished products very sweet to listen to you describe where and how you are in the moment of adding looking mark making.....what joy
Thank you so much! I so appreciate the kind words 🥰
Hi Marabeth, my medium I seriously love is watercolor and have loved it for many years. So….. many paintings later, now over 30 years, I have run up against a wall of boredom and seem to not be feeling exhilarated over my work these days. Yes, I sell my art, my clients are thrilled with them BUT I’m not! I remembered many moons ago loving the collage process, the feeling of the paper on piece, the endless hours that somehow, did not seem long. You have inspired me to begin again with that and see how it blooms. What would you suggest as to the process of doing this successfully on strictly watercolor surface without acrylics?
I love watercolor too! I’d love to see your work. And I think boredom setting in is so common when our creative nature is ready for some new iteration of what we’ve been doing, so I think you’re right on track! And just adding collage to your watercolors using the golden glazing medium will work just fine with it. Let me know how it goes, Denise! I’d love to hear.
Stunning, love this, definitely following you. Thanks 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks so much 😊 I’m so happy to hear it!
great video MUSIC HAS GOT TO GO
Noted. 😊
This was helpful. Maybe I can make progress following you at this time. Tho I always feel frustrated when I really like something and then artist says oh it’s just a study or it’s not finished. Your work is beautiful but i like rough interesting work 😉.
I actually know what you’re saying-a painting being ‘done’ is really a subjective idea, isn’t it? I want to get better at leaving my work in the rough stages and allowing my definition of ‘done’ to include that raw, almost unfinished look. It’s hard to do! But always worth striving for
I’ve used wet strength tissue w my collage and they hold up much better than plain tissue.
I haven’t used it but don’t really have a problem with tissue-depends on the brand I guess. I’m mostly using medical exam paper instead of tissue-have you tried it?
@@marabethquinart yes, medical exam paper is great!
Would love to see how you painted the canvas before collaging ... Thank you for your video. I'm going to try this
I hope you enjoy the process! So much fun! Thanks for watching…
What is the particular brand/type of tissue paper you use. When I use regular tissue paper, it seems to dissolve! Please advise!
Thanks so much!
a.co/d/b29bYug This tissue paper is pretty standard, but I also use lots of different types-shoe box paper (which can really fall apart and seem to dissolve) store bought tissue and deli paper. They all react differently and I’ve just had to experiment with them to see how I can use them. I just let them fall apart and that has its own unique look on the surface that I like, so it’s mostly learning what you like. Hope this helps!
@@marabethquinart 100 CT White 17GSM (Thicker, Durable & Crispy) Premium Quality Tissue Paper (White). This is the one I saw on your RUclips. Is this one you use?
It’s one of the ones I use. I also just find any tissue I come across-some are in shoes boxes or gifts, and there’s also deli paper you can try. They all react a little differently so it’s worth experimenting with
Unique technique with gorgeous results! Your video was short yes power packed with information! Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching. 😊
Thanks and Love from Norway🌷🌞I am really inspired, have not been that for decades💃
I’m so happy to hear this! I hope you have fun exploring painting with paper! Love from America ❤️
Lovely art and we love the process of making art too, it’s like bringing order out of chaos. Mixed media is just like life, putting the individual pieces of our lives together to make a beautiful, meaningful image.
Exactly what I love about it too-order out of chaos, and even finding order within the chaos. Endlessly interesting!
