- Messy under paper from my art table inspired this journal page. I love how it turned out! Do you save your under paper for use in other projects?

On the left hand page it looks like a face peeking between some trees. I was hoping you didn’t cover it up. This piece is gorgeous. So glad I found your channel ❤
I love your under paper. It looks like a whimsical forest of trees.
Thanks so much!!
Oh, did I ever enjoy this video. I've been dealing with cancer, hospitals and chemo, so this took me away from it all. Thank you!!
I'm so sorry to hear that, Carol! I'm glad my little video helped you escape for a bit! Best wishes to you during your recovery!
I hope that you feel better soon! Sending prayers and good thoughts your way!
Hi there Carol❤
Hang in there Carol… you are not alone. Be strong, be brave.❤
Praying for you Carol.
Cool idea to use your under paper. The black streaks or brush strokes make it pop. I thought the black streaks looked like trees too! It is fabulous!
Never heard term underpapers ! Theyre lovely, now i will re look at my random gel prints and watercolors!! This is a fabulous piece of art !! ❤
I love underpaper. It's more interesting than anything I could try to contrive. I also like the serendipity and lack of control that comes with it.
thank you!!
Great page. I think underpapers are often the best parts of creating too.
Yes they are!
Prays going up for you Carol....keep creating and doing all things that make you feel better Big virtual hug
Love how your page came out! Wonderful ❤
Love how you just get on with it and don't get precious. I find that when I don't agonize the process feels better and I tend to love the outcome more because happy accidents occur. Love that you use your fingers and your work space is human and organic. Thank you for sharing your process.
You're so welcome! I agree! The less I fuss around the happier I usually am with the results. It's just a matter of letting go and trusting the process. Easier said than done sometimes!
I've never watched one of your videos before, but this was absolutely lovely.I love your page
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!!
Love love this! I “discovered“ my under papers 4 or 5 years ago and now I treasure them.
They can be great treasures for sure! I also save my palette paper and use that in projects as well.
OH! Just discovered you! Love your techniques and helpful tips for this old newby!
Your dark line almost looks like a tree trunk...great page gold makes everything magical!!
Thank you so much 😀
Love this.❤ so cool how that paper worked out to be like trees. Beautiful ❤
Thanks so much 😊
This is wildly stunning omg!!! I am so inspired !!!!!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!!
I saw birch trees and fall in the under paper. This is beautiful❤.
Thank you! I see the trees as well. Serendipity!
Thank you so much Erin, I really really enjoyed watching you create this beautiful and unique spread. I never get interesting backdrop papers like you have. Absolutely amazing and beautiful too, I really really love ❤❤❤❤ your process and your artwork too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
I do throw away a lot of underpaper that is just a mess but once in while something really beautiful shows up.
Turned out gorgeous
I just discovered your channel a few weeks ago and have binge watched most of your videos. I love your process! Why the graph journal? Also, saw peeks of the other pages in this journal. Would you consider a flip through? I have always loved the art that happens when we're not looking. Thank you for showing a way to transform it! Please keep filming. I find your videos calming and educational at the same time.
Welcome! Thanks so much for the kind feedback! I like the graph paper journal for a few reasons. It was just so cheap. I think I paid $5 for it! I also like how the lined paper shows through. I think it's a cool addition to the pages. I also think you can be less inhibited when you are working in a cheap old notebook rather than a beautiful pristine expensive journal. You don't feel like you are going to ruin it. When it's complete, I'll definitely film a flip through.
Oh Erin, your page turned out beautifully 😍 as soon as I saw this underpaper I thought, yes, trees and a wood or a corner of a wood! The stamps resembled the knots in the bark of the trees 🌳 I love this page so much ❤ TYSMFS 🌹I have subscribed to your channel 😀 ❤

Erin...advantage of using Gesso instead of white acrylic paint????
Gesso is thinner, I find, so spreads around the page more easily and gives a dreamy quality and it's cheaper which is really the main reason I use it. But you can certainly just use white paint if you have it. Maybe thin it with a bit of water.
What is underpaper? How did you get the effect of the paper you are using?
Underpaper is the paper you put down under your projects. I use mine several times and get paint and stamps and marks all over it. You can then use that paper as the base for another project. I have no idea how I made this underpaper. I think I was painting square pieces of paper black and I went off the edges onto the underpaper. I think I might have used a gift card?? Not sure.
What is under paper. Can it be any paper of choice?
Yes. It's the protective paper you put on your work surface on top of which you create your art. All the mess lands on the underpaper rather than your table. That mess of paper can be great to use in future journal pages.
What is underpaper?
Underpaper is the paper you place on your worksurface to protect it from paint etc. After a time of working in your journal, the paper gets covered in marks and paint and becomes just a big mess but it is fun to save it because sometimes beautiful random things appear on it and it works as a great jumping off point for a journal page.
Thank you
Oh my beautiful art work but it’s such a shame it all f ed mr panicked and rushed
Thanks!
