Marabeth has me wanting to get into my art room again without dread. Her class is wonderful and exactly what I needed. She is encouraging and has me believing "I can do this!" I was hesitant to sign up for her class because I have been a ceramic artist for many years. I was terrified of the word "paint" but have done many paper collages. I LOVE having this new way of working. It is also wonderful to have Marabeth pop into my inbox and say a few encouraging words to me and all of us. I truly believe she is always thinking about her students and always there to answer any questions. Please think about joining our group of artists and learn all about "Painting with Paper." It is simply wonderful!!!!
2nd watch since being introduced to your art. Loved this since the 1st time and it has stayed on my mind to try. I am several layers in on my first. I felt really emotional this time due to a personal loss 1 yr ago. The very special touches in your painting gave me ideas for my own as I sit here looking from a distance. Lovely, meaningful share for me to save and watch as much as I want. Thank you so much. MO, USA
I’m so happy it resonated with you and that you are also enjoying the cathartic nature of the layering process. It has helped me process a lot of grief.
Beautiful Marabeth! Your voice over is so cathartic and calming. I'm sure pieces like this connect with the heart and spirit. Be well and thank you again for sharing.
This collage process is astounding! Your course offering is beyond generous!! Your painting is so soothing and calming. Watching you paint and listening to you equally so. 🙏🏼💝
I’m soooo glad to hear it, Jill! That makes me very happy. I hope you might consider coming to the next Q+A on Thursday the 10th. I think you’d really love hearing all of the questions and the resources everyone has to offer. You can join in or simply sit and listen. I would love to have you come!
What a lovely piece its very ethereal and gorgeous wow! I'm just looking at it and it is peaceful. Thank you very much for sharing your lovely talent with us how generous of you.
Loved, loved, loved watching your process and listening to your calm soothing voice. l can see how adding more and more layers really adds depth to the finished piece. Was especially delighted when at 27:42 on the video the way the piece was shown l could see a bird to the left of the white area. He's there and you don't have to look hard to see him. Beautiful painting, it has an ethereal quality about it.......thank you for sharing....
Thank you so much for sharing your process for this beautiful painting. I've never tried collage before but I'm trying this out with my current painting because I feel so inspired. X
Thank you so much! I use Golden Liquid Glazing Medium but there are many mediums you could use as well. I just like it because it will also thin my paint to have some transparency and I love the versatility of both.
I am so pleased to have found you!!! Hi from Down Under. It seems you have to say exactly what I need to hear at this stage of my my mixed media journey. It is almost as if you are speaking directly to me 😊. I look forward to exploring the rest of your videos. Thankyou so much for sharing.
thank you. just discovered this video after taking your class. wow. it is so wonderful...your process, your narration and insights, etc, the painting is soothing as is your style and presentation.
I used to use various kinds of tissue, some of it acid free but now I’ve switched to medical exam paper-I can buy it in rolls and in bulk so it’s consistent in the way it behaves and it’s also more economical
Your videos are so informative and charming! You mention that in certain paintings you paint (or position) all your flowers facing forward but you didn’t say what your reason was. I like doing that in certain paintings and even though it’s abstract, I worry that it will come across as simplistic, even though that isn’t my intention. Thanks again.
I’m not sure exactly what I was making that comment on, but I’m guessing that I was saying that somewhere along the way, I began to want to paint flowers that looked a bit ‘incomplete’ and less uniform, much like you find flowers in nature. I should watch the video again and see 😆. There’s certainly not a right or wrong way, but I did have a shift in my work in the last couple years
This piece is sooooo inspiring! Can’t stay out of the studio since watching your videos and taking your class. Have been trying to incorporate watercolor into mine being that is my media of choice but clearly, the acrylics work nicer and have more substantial base. So….. get to making more papers Denise, LOL!
Hi Anna! Thanks for the kind words. 🥰 If you’d like to join me, I have an introductory class on this process here: marabethquinart.thinkific.com/courses/paint-with-paper
This is just gorgeous - my favorite color palette and your process so soothing. I will take a look at your class. I get hung up at exactly the place you talked about - getting attached to the way it looks at a certain stage. And often when I get courageous and throw caution to the winds the results have been pretty awful. 😳.
I totally relate! I think that’s why it’s always a risk when you’re willing to go as far as it takes-you have no guarantee that this time it will work out. I had to start trying to think of success in terms of the growth of my entire practice and not the individual painting; it’s hard but I think more accurate. Thanks for watching and hope you join me in the class!
Yes, it’s all pre-recorded and once you purchase it, you have complete access to it for as long as you want. I have live Q&A sessions every few weeks as well. Let me know if I can help.
@@marabethquinart Thanks so much for your reply. I am thinking that I will treat myself to the class for my birthday at the end of the month. I will be a lively 81 - as the saying goes “If not now, when?” 😇
I stumbled across this video by accident. What a great discovery. I want to try myself, but initially I would like to know the type of paper you use. Talk about tissue paper, tea bag, what about? Thank you in advance for your answer 🤝
I mostly use tissue paper and tint it with acrylic paint. I love it because of it’s transparency and delicacy. I also will use teabag paper which is thicker and more absorbent; it has some transparency but not quite as much. I have an introductory class where I go into depth on this; if you’re interested, here’s some info: www.marabethquinart.com/collage-class
I love your choice of blues. I paint with watercolor and gouache. I am seriously thinking about trying acrylics. Any chance you can provide the name of the blues you used? I love the idea of the collage. Thanks for sharing this. It turned out beautiful!
Thank you for your kind words! And I believe the blues I used were Soho brand Cerulean, Amsterdam brand Steel Blue, Amsterdam brand Greenish Blue and Lukas brand Dark Payne
I can't recommend Marabeth's collage class enough to others. Very easy to follow and and you learn techniques that you can incorporate into all your art pieces. Can you share the specific colors that you used in this piece?
You can, although I’ve never done it myself. You would have to use different methods of adhering it to the surface, however, since you can use acrylic mediums over oil paint.
I am definitely thinking about taking the class. The link to the mulberry shows already colored papers ….is this correct? I bought a 480 sheet stack of wet strength tissue paper for gelli printing and the only thing I don’t like about it is it doesn’t tear well in one direction only in the other direction. Love this etherial collage! Just stunning!
I hope you do join the class! And yes, the mulberry papers are already tinted and so I actually use those papers the least, preferring to make my own, but they do have their own special qualities. I have had tissue that only tears one direction also, and have since switched to medical exam paper as an alternative. I don’t know where you’re located, but you can easily order it on Amazon in the US. If you’re interested, I have a link to it and other favorite art products here: www.marabethquinart.com/favorite-art-products
Beautiful result. I always feel identified when you talk about getting attached to something, it happens to me too often and it is true, all of the process is affected when that happens. I have a doubt, how long lasting is the color of the tissue paper? If for example, your painting is next to a window? I´m always wondering about the durability of the supplies I use, (they´re not the most expensive). Thank you so much for your time and valuable experience🙏. Greetings from Mexico.
I often get attached too-I think it is a universal creative experience. And I color my own papers with diluted acrylic paint and finish it with a UV protected archival varnish so I think it’s as protected as can be. Those are very valid questions though. thanks for watching and commenting. 😊
Hi Ms. Quin! Thank you for this video and your generosity! The mailchimp link you your favorite materials came up with a message saying that the page could not be found. Perhaps a letter or number of the link is a bit off???
I use Golden Liquid Glazing Medium, but there are other mediums you can use. I use the glazing medium because I also can then thin out my paint with it to make glazes to go over the papers, so it’s just handy.
Both so relaxing and inspiring watching this video. It gives me another "layer" to apply to the work I've been doing as a result of taking your wonderful class. Thank you!
I’ve used acid free before but honestly, I use much more of the regular kind. I’m sure there’s a good argument for acid free, but in the end, we are working with paper which is going to break down somewhat over time no matter what.
I gave a more extensive answer in your other question, but I wanted to add that I also use teabag paper, mulberry paper, rice paper. There are a number of materials that I experiment with and the list is always changing as I find new ones I like. 😊
Ethereal, I know the person in mourning will find a lot of comfort living with this thoughtful piece.
I hope so, and thanks for the kind and lovely words, Debbie!
Oh, dear Lord, that’s incredible.
Everything about this video was soothing.
So happy to hear that! 🥰

You are channeling Monet MB ~ this composition/color combo is simultaneously uplifting & sublime …. Love the dimension, really special
Thank you so very much, Elizabeth! I do love the softness and calmness of this one.
Loved, loved, loved watching your process and listening to your calm soothing voice. l can see how adding more and more layers really adds depth to the finished piece.

This is just lovely. What did you use for your adhesive? It looks so wonderful to create texture.
Thank you so much! I use Golden Liquid Glazing Medium but there are many mediums you could use as well. I just like it because it will also thin my paint to have some transparency and I love the versatility of both.
Absolutely beautiful!!.

A beautiful piece which I am sure the recipient will treasure forever. What kind of tissue paper do you use. Is it acid free?

Really a lovely piece. I like your attention to detail even though it’s abstract…
Thank you Cheryl! I appreciate you kind words.
I am looking forward to taking your collage course. Watching your work with paper to build this beautiful piece was inspiring. Many thanks❤
Thanks for the kind words! And I hope you do take the course-I think you’ll enjoy it 😊
Beautiful! Would love to learn your style of collage!
Hi Anna! Thanks for the kind words. 🥰 If you’d like to join me, I have an introductory class on this process here: marabethquinart.thinkific.com/courses/paint-with-paper

I totally relate! I think that’s why it’s always a risk when you’re willing to go as far as it takes-you have no guarantee that this time it will work out. I had to start trying to think of success in terms of the growth of my entire practice and not the individual painting; it’s hard but I think more accurate. Thanks for watching and hope you join me in the class!
@@marabethquinart That is a good way to look at it! So the class appears to be on video and we can do it at our own pace?
Yes, it’s all pre-recorded and once you purchase it, you have complete access to it for as long as you want. I have live Q&A sessions every few weeks as well. Let me know if I can help.
@@marabethquinart Thanks so much for your reply. I am thinking that I will treat myself to the class for my birthday at the end of the month. I will be a lively 81 - as the saying goes “If not now, when?” 😇

Beautiful! Are you using tissue paper to color? Simple tissue wrapping paper? Thanks!❤
Yes, it is simple tissue paper that I color myself. Totally fun. And thanks for watching 😊
I love your choice of blues. I paint with watercolor and gouache. I am seriously thinking about trying acrylics. Any chance you can provide the name of the blues you used? I love the idea of the collage. Thanks for sharing this. It turned out beautiful!
Thank you for your kind words! And I believe the blues I used were Soho brand Cerulean, Amsterdam brand Steel Blue, Amsterdam brand Greenish Blue and Lukas brand Dark Payne
I can't recommend Marabeth's collage class enough to others. Very easy to follow and and you learn techniques that you can incorporate into all your art pieces. Can you share the specific colors that you used in this piece?
Thank you so much for such kind words! I believe the colors were cerulean blue, greenish blue, paynes gray, and blue violet
Beautiful!! Can this process been done on an oil painting?
You can, although I’ve never done it myself. You would have to use different methods of adhering it to the surface, however, since you can use acrylic mediums over oil paint.
I am definitely thinking about taking the class. The link to the mulberry shows already colored papers ….is this correct? I bought a 480 sheet stack of wet strength tissue paper for gelli printing and the only thing I don’t like about it is it doesn’t tear well in one direction only in the other direction. Love this etherial collage! Just stunning!
I hope you do join the class! And yes, the mulberry papers are already tinted and so I actually use those papers the least, preferring to make my own, but they do have their own special qualities.

Thank you Jerald! I’m happy to hear it. 😊
Beautiful result. I always feel identified when you talk about getting attached to something, it happens to me too often and it is true, all of the process is affected when that happens. I have a doubt, how long lasting is the color of the tissue paper? If for example, your painting is next to a window? I´m always wondering about the durability of the supplies I use, (they´re not the most expensive). Thank you so much for your time and valuable experience🙏. Greetings from Mexico.
I often get attached too-I think it is a universal creative experience. And I color my own papers with diluted acrylic paint and finish it with a UV protected archival varnish so I think it’s as protected as can be. Those are very valid questions though. thanks for watching and commenting. 😊
@@marabethquinart thank you for your time💖

Hi Ms. Quin! Thank you for this video and your generosity!
The mailchimp link you your favorite materials came up with a message saying that the page could not be found. Perhaps a letter or number of the link is a bit off???
Thank you!! I so appreciate you bringing that to my attention! Here’s the correct link: mailchi.mp/6658b8c5f33a/wjk8rdkxn3
😘❤❤❤
Thanks for watching 😊
what are you glueing the paper on with?
I use Golden Liquid Glazing Medium, but there are other mediums you can use. I use the glazing medium because I also can then thin out my paint with it to make glazes to go over the papers, so it’s just handy.
Would make beautiful wallpaper
I agree! Thank you 😊
Both so relaxing and inspiring watching this video. It gives me another "layer" to apply to the work I've been doing as a result of taking your wonderful class. Thank you!
I’m so glad to hear this, Heather! I find that each painting I do expands out in some small way to something new. I love it.
I'm interested in your videos
Does the tissue paper need to be a certain kind? Acid free?
I’ve used acid free before but honestly, I use much more of the regular kind. I’m sure there’s a good argument for acid free, but in the end, we are working with paper which is going to break down somewhat over time no matter what.
Are these colorfast and archival?
I do my best-and I always make sure they have great quality archival varnish on them. Thanks for watching 😊
Is there a special type of tissue paper you use? 🎨💕
I gave a more extensive answer in your other question, but I wanted to add that I also use teabag paper, mulberry paper, rice paper. There are a number of materials that I experiment with and the list is always changing as I find new ones I like. 😊
Super grateful for you Marabeth. Thank You for inspiring. 🎨👍
My pleasure!
👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰
🥰🥰. Thanks for watching, I truly appreciate it.
What blue do you use
I use Golden Liquid Glazing Medium-it’s acrylic and also thins out my paints to a glaze, so that works really nicely.
What type of paper are u coloring
That’s just regular tissue paper
