Corner Corner Side Background Technique

A great method of applying paint in a structured, analytical manner, in order to produce a background that looks balanced and random! Makes sense in my head anyways! Have a go!

Thankyou, 11 yrs on and it is still teaching for those of us beginning, thankyou again.

[@jacquichimes]

Love it - you taught this technique to me (and a few others) at Rainbow Silks many years ago - I've used it ever since but it's great to see it done again and with the stamping.

You are a paint genius, Leandra!!!

[@1jmass]

Your results are amazing. I think Tim has met his match in the mixed media/stamping arena. Thanks for sharing your talent.

I loved your video, and I learned A Lot! …darker paints on less bold prints, lighter paints on bolder prints….hmmm, I never really made that association before, thanks!

[@sabineetienne4395]

Thank you for the detailed explanations: it's always more interesting to know why you do it that way better than this way. Composition in triangle are always well balanced and very eyecatching.

hi Carol, Flexi blocks we have been selling for a few years now. They are thin acrylic blocks, used as 'handles' for EZ mounted stamps. I prefer this thin acrylic style of block, as it helps transfer the pressure applied through the block to the stamp and onto the paper. Particularly good for those large, collage style stamps where you really need the pressure and squish to get the image to transfer clearly all over.

I so LOVE that background technique! So deliberate, and yet it looks so effortless!! So glad I discovered your channel!

Love the corner corner side advice.

[@Alteredartfreak]

Thanks Leandra - I'm really appreciating the video's with all the different techniques. It was a lovely idea for us to have these to gen up on techniques over Christmas! I'll remember this 'corner, corner side' technique - it produces a lovely look - as you say 'balanced but still random'. Love the paints - great colours. Thanks for the tip about keeping the stamps on the baby wipes when you're going to use them again.

Great demonstration and explanation of interesting techniques! Thank you. Can I ask how you set up your camera to film?

[@PaperArtsy]

Hi Bonnie. Most of these videos are filmed on an iPhone on a rolling dolly with separate mic and a camera man.

[@carolvile5584]

Are those the flexi blocks, I so want to know what is good about them and if I need them (I think I do). Love the demo, There is a lot of work there but a lovely result. Carol

[@adelia3683]

Hi, can I ask what and where those foam blocks used to paint corners are from?

[@vandanasenthil]

can you pls guide where to buy these stamps?

[@marylizart]

What brand of paints?

[@PaperArtsy]

We use our own brand of paint, PaperArtsy's Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paint. We have been selling these since 2012.

[@ultrabright1000]

All of your videos click off within just a few minutes. Why is that. I so want to see all of the videos!!! PattiC

[@MrsPaperArtsy]

Hi Patti, could be your connection dropping out btw you and KZbin. Or maybe it's the browser you use, have you tried watching via a different web browser. Some of the videos are quite long too, so perhaps its the volume of info, also our vids are High definition, so perhaps if you change your view setting to low def, 720, then it won't drop out. HTH Leandra

[@MrsPaperArtsy]

Vandana, you can buy the stamps from PaperArtsy online, or any of our stockists - just google it :)
