[@carengoodrich]

Catina Gervasi thank you Catina, all the best to you and stay in touch!

[@wendyhicks1563]

All respect to Bob Burridge.... but this video was so much more informative for it showed the entire process. Will definitely subscribe and look forward to learning more tips😃🙌🏼

[@carengoodrich]

Wendy Hicks I learned this from Bob in person many years ago...if you are referring to one of his videos, yes he may not show the entire process. Thank you for watching and subscribing!

[@glindastreet6820]

Thank you so much for sharing. You area fantastic teacher and I love that you use your time for sharing your techniques. Lol no bull just how tos

[@beckyohara414]

I am on same page. Gonna gesso tonight and pour tomorrow . Thanks Again!

[@nighatmajeed67]

you are a great artiest .

[@SoCali_Surfer]

Thank you for all your teaching videos. The cost of the canvases really can add up, so the heavy watercolor paper is a great option. Then I can mount ones I really love. Thank you!

[@jinjinjin1563]

很喜欢，每一次都会来学习。

[@rebeccabyrley8182]

This is so gorgeous!

[@beckyohara414]

TY caren I I called Nova and they said #233 or #235 would work.

[@carengoodrich]

yep tell Nova I said hello! LOL

[@efluidartstudiopriscillab]

Good tips.Thank you.

[@nancyboone4388]

Thank you for these instructions.

[@isaj129]

Caren! This is an incredible option! I cannot thank you enough for passing along your knowledge--so very grateful to have found your channel. Thank you for inspiring all of us artists, particuarly us newbies, to relax, embrace those "happy little accidents", and enjoy the process! Truly divine!

[@yasminepsh]

Thank you Caren for all your videos and advise. Where Nova is not available, could Mod Podge be an alternative to fix the paper on the support?

[@carengoodrich]

Yasmine Perreten Shaarawi use any brand of gel medium. I’m sure Mod Podge would work though I don’t personally use it.

[@suenicuk9449]

Thanks so much for showing this. I find all your demonstrations so easy to watch ❤️

[@carengoodrich]

diamondclips wow thank you!

[@beckyohara414]

Thank You! Your the greatest!

[@Babygirlnails]

Love it!!! Thanks so much.

[@adelamcgrew7135]

Great idea to keep examples. Thank you.

[@jpitt08]

Great video! Does the polycrylic dry as hard as resin?

[@carengoodrich]

Jessica Whiting no it does not. Canvas or paper with polycrylic remains flexible.

[@nelboswell5587]

I like the interactive sharing of steps, will try this with left over paint, great Caren!!!

[@carengoodrich]

thanks Nel, using leftover paint is one of my favorite things to do!

[@karenleigh2786]

Thanks Caren!! I love your work!

[@karabishopart4153]

Thank you so much for great teaching, as a newbie I am loving working on paper it is so much more practical to dry and store, so it is really helpful to learn a way to present the picture.

[@carengoodrich]

Thank you, Kara! I love working on paper, too!

[@marionlyon7349]

Thanks for this tutorial!

[@robynchapmanholland4344]

Thank you for all your information and sharing!!

[@shirleysykes6978]

Thank you for your generous information your artwork mounted on the Black background looks amazing. Thanks

[@mod-planet]

This is fantastic! Thank you so much for your informative videos!

[@intuitiveinspiredart4366]

FABULOUS! I'm going to do this as soon as I get my studio cleaned up again. Time for some purging and then.... on to painting! OOXXOO Linda PS TY for sharing.

[@InsertName130]

This made me come up with so many questions. -When you do a canvas like this, do people look down on it? Would it sell just as easily as a painting done directly on the canvas itself? Just curious, because I really like the idea of it. -Could you do the same technique with paintings done in other media, like watercolor or gouache for instance? Thank you. Sorry for my ignorance.

[@carengoodrich]

I’ve sold a lot of these, I haven’t lost a sale (that I know of) because it was mounted. The key to this technique is to be able to seal it with a clear coat. Watercolor wouldn’t work. I’ve never used gouche so I don’t know about that one.

[@InsertName130]

Thank you for the quick and thoughtful reply.

[@dalyte62]

Such great information Caren, love your videos

[@jannetteknutsen7956]

wonderful tips thanks!

[@JerseyborngmailMusic5tree]

Do you have to use gesso to attach the water color painting? Does the gesso come in different colors or do you mix the colors to get what you want?

[@anntralka9749]

super teacher! ty!!!

[@monicaeggleton4510]

Hi Caren, Why don't you use gel medium from NovaColor? The prices are better, for sure! (Or is it for ease of reference.) Thank you for the demonstration; instead of just saying to gesso a canvas, use gel medium to adhere the paper to the canvas, and than when dry use poly acrylic coat to seal and finish. I am serious, often people just gloss over the details to finishing, only wanting to demonstrate the art piece. This is great information to carry over to other aspects/techniques of painting as well. I enjoy following you for all the details you give in each video, you are prepared and stay on point, giving good teaching instructions. Thank you as well for all your time and effort (as well as tips you add).Thank you to you camera crew. (Lol) He/she does a wonderful job with focusing and following your demonstration.

[@beckyohara414]

and TY your videos are very informative for a beginner. How many ounces of paint do you put in?

[@carengoodrich]

My mix is approximately 1 part paint, 3 parts pouring medium, and a dash of water. A few drops of silicone in each individual color mix.

[@curtiswallen8977]

Do you prefer not framing behind glass because it takes away from some of the textures, or another reason?

[@carengoodrich]

Curtis Wallen extra cost, hassle, glare, potential breakage, etc. I think frames in general detract from the artwork, and glass is another layer that further distances the viewer from the piece. With our improved quality art materials these days, too me glass is a thing of the past.

[@curtiswallen8977]

@@carengoodrich Makes sense. I'm really enjoying your videos, and I appreciate you taking the time to teach and inspire!

[@StudioABSee]

So beautiful....I cannot wait to share this method with the students in my studio! Striking!

[@rhonnieday7389]

Thanks so much Caren! Can you tell me if this varnish is non yellowing and most importantly, is it a toxic smelling product? I'm highly sensitive to odors. I need very, very low odor products. Thanks again! 😊

[@carengoodrich]

Rhonnie Day I've never seen yellowing after using it for many years. It is water based so the odor is way less than the oil based version. I can smell it slightly but don't know what to say beyond that.

[@rhonnieday7389]

Caren Goodrich thanks Caren. Maybe I'll ask Home Depot to open a can and let me smell it lol... 😉

[@rhonnieday7389]

I actually can't use the Triple Thick...the odor was horrible for me...

[@carengoodrich]

Rhonnie Day great idea, that's the only way to know for sure!

[@agnesashford2074]

great tips

[@lauraclark2102]

Caren does your painting have to be painted on a special type of paper? Thanks Laura

[@BRIGHTLUVLITE]

TY ♥

[@maryloulandmark3129]

So glad whenever I get a notice from you. Informative demonstration and I love Minwax products.

[@aleroco2932]

Thank you for sharing, its a great idea, I'll try it. :)

[@brigittemcguire2030]

thank you for sharing

[@lauraclark2102]

Hey Caren...is this fabric or paper that is stretched over the canvas? Thanks Laura

[@harriets6768]

ty for the video

[@beckyohara414]

caren, I'm getting ready to practice on watercolor paper which side should I gesso rough or smooth?

[@carengoodrich]

I gesso the rough side, if there is a difference between sides. But I don't think it matters!

[@BostonArtPassion]

I really like how you grow this channel, your tips are very useful :) I do not miss one of your videos !! Keep going and thank you.

[@pamguitreau1348]

Was the art piece itself sealed before you started this procedure?

[@carengoodrich]

Pam Guitreau yes

[@pamguitreau1348]

With what.

[@carengoodrich]

Pam Guitreau Minwax polycrylic, same as in the video.

[@goilo888]

I'm going to give that mounting method a try. I, too, hate mounting behind glass. Also, if you like painting on paper but hate the wrinkling and curling, check out Terraskin - totally waterproof and not at all like Yupo, which I personally dislike.

[@carengoodrich]

Third Dimension Jewellery thank you, I'll check out terraskin!

[@usdemocraticbarb]

Thank you for sharing. Will be trying this soon. Love your art and your teaching videos.

[@kimmarieselig887]

Great video once again Caron. Will this technique work with Yupo as well? Thanks.

[@carengoodrich]

Kim Marie Selig I think so....yupo is slick so make sure it doesn't slide out of place.

[@beckyohara414]

this is really not a comment more of a question. what # in the novaplex pouring medium do you use #233 or #235?

[@carengoodrich]

Becky O'Hara I have used both, leaning towards 235 these days.

[@lindafelder4198]

I really like this technique. I will try with my Acrylic pours. Thank you. I also work with alcohol inks. Do you know if you can use Yupo paper painted with alcohol inks that has been sprayed with Kamar, UV, and Triple thick with this Polyacrylic varnish and attached to the canvas?

[@helenelaine100]

Thank you for sharing this great idea. Thanks to Bob Burridge too! The painting looks beautiful mounted this way.

[@janwithacrylicpourstudios4125]

Thanks for showing us this. I noticed the Nova paints and will give them a try. Much more cost effective. Do you use them for all your artwork or do you switch to Golden or more expensive paint for pours and other stuff?

[@carengoodrich]

Nova is good for all sorts of painting. I do use different brands at different times but Nova is not inferior.

[@skgrasshopper]

Did you remove the silicone from the painting prior to mounting and minwaxing it?

[@katrinamareen]

Thank you so much. My house is full on canvas, and with 4 kids Im finding it hard to store them, and protect them from little hands. I love canvas, but paper would be so much better to work with. Thank you so much :-D Feeling creative again.

[@beckyohara414]

hi caren, how long do you wait for the gesso to dry on the canvas before doing a pouring?

[@carengoodrich]

Becky O'Hara just until it's dry to the touch--an hour, maybe less. But I usually gesso ahead of time so I always have something dry and ready to go!

[@clarissalee5398]

Hi Caren, is it possible not to use the clear gloss? Like just mount the paper on the canvas and then give it to the recipient?

[@carengoodrich]

Clarissa Lee exposed paper needs a protective coat. That’s why art on paper typically is framed behind glass. The Minwax finish is a protective coat that eliminates the need for glass, but if you don’t like gloss, it also comes in semi gloss and matte.

[@blimaspetner2867]

what is the advantage of using black gesso over say just painting it black with paint?

[@dianehampton3513]

I tried this and the paper bowed up on the sides when it dried so I don't know if it'll lay flat or not so I don't really know what to do about that now. I did one about a week ago and it never laid flat and I did too yesterday and they're drying and they're rolling up to on the sides. I like this technique but I don't know what it's going to do I'll see about putting them on the canvas to see if they'll stay thanks. I think you saw the ones I did the other day they were pink I think you commented on it. Thank you for being interested. I love watching your videos they inspire me.

[@carengoodrich]

Diane Hampton I’m working on a solution to the problem! Stay tuned!

[@anntralka9749]

how many polycrylic coats do u usually use for varnish?

[@berniceseigel6482]

Where do you buy your paint for those prices I see on the jars. And, it is artist paint or just acrylic paint from paint store?

[@carengoodrich]

Bernice Seigel it's artist paint from novacolorpaint.com

[@nosto1118]

Thanks, Caren - great tip! Where do you get those big jars of paint for those prices, assuming what's marked on the lid is accurate?!?!?!

[@carengoodrich]

nora stone good eye! It's novacolorpaint.com

[@nosto1118]

Thanks again, Caren! Just took a look - now I'm in trouble....lol! Wish I'd known about them when I lived in LA...

[@MsJaneel]

So ....you glue it. 🤨

[@carengoodrich]

Yes, with gel medium .🤨

[@ruthmiyahara9490]

Love your art very inspiring especially creating the buffalo very cool. If I follow your link to amazon will you get the credit? I have a prime account would like to get you the $$ how do I do it?

[@carengoodrich]

Ruth Miyahara yes the link gives me credit for the sale if you follow through with the purchase. Thank you for asking, I really appreciate it, Ruth!
