Elizabeth, I don't know how you do it! You are so creative and I'm addicted to your videos! I recently started doing mixed media work and collages and I'm so glad I found you and Joggles. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Lolol!! Ripping pieces of paper, gluing it down randomly, pulling them off and doing it again!! Who can resist? So much FUN!! Plus I love the random look ! Can’t wait to do it!!! Plus I’ve got the papers to waste!!😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
This is a such a cool technique, loved watching this ❤ reverse collage! Who would have thought 😅 I have to say, it was incredibly satisfying to watch, I was one of those kids who loved putting glue on their hands and then peeling it off when it was dry, and this reminded me of that 😂 Thanks for sharing! This was so fun.
it sure is a bit like peeling glue off your fingers for sure! it's just like posters in the city, being pasted over others and being torn off! Collage has many cousins, décollage, montage, assemblage.....
you are so welcome! it was inspired by paper posters in the cities being put up and then torn down, what was left. Collage comes in many forms! thanks for watching!
@@ElizabethStHilaire I love what inspired you to do this! True artists are inspired by so many things...many that are unexpected. This is part of what makes your art so unique and beautiful!
I really don't understand the thumbs down on this, or frankly any other instructional art tutorial. It's all information and experimentation to be used at your discretion. I personally love the colors left on the canvas and I'm inspired and will try this technique. Thank you Elizabeth for this unique idea! I love it!
You don’t really see the fonts with all the layering, a little but not too much. Experimentation is always key to any artistic process! Glad you enjoyed it
I love this! There is an artist who actually uses ripped off posters in her collages, and I've noticed that often there are pieces of poster on the BACK of the one she's using. WONDERFUL RESULT!
What a lovely technique! I just adore the bits of color left here and there. The “controlled randomness” looks so fun and something I will be trying asap!
This is cool! I remember experimenting with something similar 15 years ago but just with copy paper to get some texture. I can't recall if i sanded it. I think i like the stuck up bits. Love this with book pages and painted sheets. Thanks for sharing this idea!
HI Cass, since I am going to put art over the top of it, which involves sketching and painting, I want a smooth surface, but there are many ways to experiment with it for sure! You are very welcome!
Oh my goodness! Hi! I am severely honored to meet you! This decollage... I've never seen this before and your analogy of billboards in NYC is spot on! I mostly make junk journals and play in mixed media and assemblage now and then. I can totally see applying this technique in each form. You're awsome and I'm so glad to have found you. Hugs from the southern California desert, your newest subbie, MK 🤗🏜🤗
Hi from Nor Cal! Happy to have shared this with you. I have my degree in art so I have studied many many interesting techniques. I can see where you would really use this in your journals! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment I am glad that you have found me as well!
I learn so much about everything art just from watching your videos Elizabeth. I love that your presentations are simply practical and straightforward. Thank you always for sharing.🙏🏽🤗💖💫💖
You are such a delight to watch. So enjoy all of your wonderous journeys & adventures. will be checking out patreon soon as I'm sure there are even more great ideas to be found. Thank you so much for sharing your wonder & creativity with all of us. bless your heart.
What an interesting process! I was skeptical at first, then confused that the color was pasted face down. The sanding process really made the final result so interesting. I will be trying this!
Sure! Glad you liked it. You really never know what you’re going to get, and it depends on the types of paper that you use, so there’s a little experimentation involved
I don't know, I always work on a rigid panel because I will collage on top of this, I would think you would just have to worry about warping, because the glue is very wet.
You can get old books at library sales that way your supporting your local library and get cheap supplies to use in different ways your upcycling i wished you showed what you could do with the finished piece you created, as a beginner could I used a acrylic painting on top like use a painting on a sheet of watercolor? but how do I adheres it to fredrick board or could I just paint over the piece with acrylic painting, could I do a molding paste picture over finished board ? Bit confused lol... I'm not sure🤔 what I'm allowed to try without running the under layer that took time and is quite beautiful......lol...do u have video I could watch???? What u did with this completed piece...
Don't remember if I've asked but is there a problem using book page with the copyright if you sell your work. Love love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Elizabeth.....LOVE this de collage. If I don't have fluid matte medium....can I water down my regulate matte medium and get a similar result? Thanks for sharing your videos....I watch all of them.
@@Anadiaz-br1jr you'll have to experiment with it! you can always join me on Patreon for multi-part lessons from start to finish with full tutorials on projects.
I don’t know if you can cut them, Probably not since the center is a hard-core and not cardboard. I got them directly from Fredrix because my Artwork is on the packaging. :-)
The sanding off and use of the brayer papers sparks so many ideas to get rid of scraps.
Yes totally!
Elizabeth, I don't know how you do it! You are so creative and I'm addicted to your videos! I recently started doing mixed media work and collages and I'm so glad I found you and Joggles. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Excellent demo of this technique. Thanks so much 😊
My pleasure thank you kindly
Not only do I Iove your work, but you do such a brilliant job of explaining process and "good art-making habits!"
Why thank you!! I’ve been teaching workshops for a long time. :)

Just caught this video playing in the background while I WFH. Man, I want to jump up and try it NOW-but I'll have to wait until 5PM.
Elizabeth you are a GEM! Now will you please show us what’s next in store for this fabulous background?!
I will eventually!! LOL right now I just have no idea and another 45 projects in progress! LOL
@@ElizabethStHilaire that sounds awfully familiar!! 🤪
@@gy0215p glad I’m not alone Regina!

old textbooks are a great art supply bargain...Using different ones with varied fonts, etc. may be even more interesting. enjoyed this video

Thank you Elizabeth! You are a super teacher and inspirer!
I’m so glad! I’m glad you liked it Kim
Those book pages you made with the brayer(?) look amazing!
Oh thanks!
oh!!! this really tickled my muse! thank you so much❤ you just turned the light switch on in my right brain😊
that's ALWAYS a good thing Kae!
What a marvelous way to use clean up papers! I'm going to try this technique for my next piece. Thanks, Elizabeth!!
Fantastic! Waste not, Want Not! xoxoxoxoxoxo

Oh Ingrid, what a nice message! Thanks so much.
I love it! I am a big fan of randomness. I can’t wait to see your beautiful and colourful torn painted paper art on top!
Stay tuned! it might be a while, I have 4 million projects in progress

I love the sanding! I need to make more of these, including putting some art on this one! I’m glad you enjoyed it
Love it.
thanks so much!
Love this idea!! Thank you ❤️🙏❤️
@@ISLANDHARMONYSTJ my pleasure!
Can’t wait to try this. Never have seen this done. I love it.
Great! I hope it works well for you :)
Loved this video. AWESOME technique, thank you
My pleasure, thanks for being here
Beautiful Elizabeth. I can’t wait to try this technique.
Awesome thanks!
Brilliant demo ! Much appreciated !!! Thank you . Kind regards - Judi - Australia
thanks Judi from Australia! I appreciate your taking the time to comment
Love it. Thanks
you are welcome! give it a try, it's FUN just be patient with the layers, let the glue dry enough to stick
I am looking forward to seeing how you will use this! Great idea!
for my work in progress, be sure to follow me on Facebook! Paper Paintings Collage Artwork, thanks Marija
This is really cool, I have never heard of it but love it. TFS
Thanks for watching!
I just found you and I love your work and techniques. Such nice inspirations for unique artwork ☺️
Thank you so much!
Such a great technique, loved the result, looks awesome 😊
thanks! it's a good way to get your frustrations out, tearing paper off! LOL
Thanks for the demo. I will try this process!
you're very welcome Ellen! I hope you get good results
what a FABULOUS idea! Thank you SO much! (:
My pleasure Deborah!
Love this technique! Thank you for sharing….💕
My pleasure!
I love that! Will have to try it.
I hope you enjoy it!
Oh wow, when you first started the peeling process I was doubtful that I would like the results. That is such a fun outcome. Thanks for sharing!
Sure! Glad you liked it. You really never know what you’re going to get, and it depends on the types of paper that you use, so there’s a little experimentation involved
Thank you! I love this look!
Me too Susan!
Very good, tanks 😊💐
my pleasure!
I’d like to see that background and what happens next! Ab Fab!
Hi thanks, I’m really sorry I missed this comment. What happens next is always in my Patreon :-)
Fascinating process ! I was wondering If the type of paint or ink affect how much color is left behind !?
I'm not sure, I only use Golden Fluid Acrylics professional colors, you can experiment!
Wonderful! Do you deliberately not leave it for a good period for it to dry off thoroughly?
I leave it for as long as you see me doing in the video. Just enough to grab on partially. Thanks for watching!
This is great! Do you think I could use a different base like thin cardboard or card stock? (Raelene)
I don't know, I always work on a rigid panel because I will collage on top of this, I would think you would just have to worry about warping, because the glue is very wet.
Who knew! 🥰 Is there UN-mixed media, too?
Yes, “unglued” in French
Very cool!
thanks!!
I agree fabulous. What can we do now.
Use it as a background!
Excellent
Thanks Ana!

Don't remember if I've asked but is there a problem using book page with the copyright if you sell your work. Love love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
not if you tear them up so that they are unrecognizable, no.
Hello Elizabeth.....LOVE this de collage. If I don't have fluid matte medium....can I water down my regulate matte medium and get a similar result? Thanks for sharing your videos....I watch all of them.
Yes you can! That’s all the difference in viscosity is, water. Try to get it to the consistency of heavy cream. Thank you so much for watching!
Hi Angela - I water my impasto gel (very stiff). It is hard to mix by hand - it goes lumpy - but it works well with a stick blender.
Can I do this over an old acrylic painting to repurpose it?
@@barbthorsen1663 I’m not sure, give it a try!
Thank you for sharing.
Have you worked with crackle paste ??
I have yes!! Oh it’s so much fun. I should do a demo on that.
@@ElizabethStHilaire yes do a demo I don’t know how to paint it or incorporate in my art piece thank you
@@Anadiaz-br1jr you'll have to experiment with it! you can always join me on Patreon for multi-part lessons from start to finish with full tutorials on projects.
I’ve only been able to find rectangular versions of these Fredrix boards. Where did you get yours? I wonder if I could cut them to size.
I don’t know if you can cut them, Probably not since the center is a hard-core and not cardboard. I got them directly from Fredrix because my Artwork is on the packaging. :-)
With the video being two years old, I’m wondering if you can show us what you’ve created on this awesome background.
Join me in Patreon for more in depth tutorials and finished collage product videos. :)
LIKE, MUST DO
Thanks!
Can we use gloss medium too ?
I think so! Why not. :) it’s just a different finish but works the same.
Please let me ask. Are the pages of the book yellowed over time?
No because we are going to seal them which prevents air from getting to them, which does not allow oxidation
@@ElizabethStHilaire Thank you. You are a talented artist
@@Cat_ElectricSt4r my pleasure!
Thank you! The bigest master of decollage in the art history was Raymond Hains (1926-2005) :)
I love that! I will look him up
Mine was a disaster the color didn’t transfer. What happened?
I'm not sure, you have to experiment with these things... nothing in art is really set in stone. try try again. ;)
When written american history has more truth in it when art is applied. 😆
Agreed!
I was envisioning booby paper😂❤
Lol
